Fashion is not for a certain body type, how to style any dress in your style?

We believe that no one fits perfectly into a single size like S, M, or L. Most body types fall between these sizes, so we meticulously design each pattern to ensure our garments look great on every body type. Let’s face it: Traditional ideas around dressing for your body shape are restrictive, built around “do’s and don’ts,” how to hide “problem areas” and other outdated advice. It’s time to throw those ideas away: You get to decide what looks good on your own body. Most importantly, if you love something, you should wear it!

If you’ve ever wondered how to make any dress work for you, regardless of your body shape, this guide is for you.

1. Identifying Your Body Type: The first step is understanding your body type. Here are the most common ones:

• Hourglass: Balanced shoulders and hips with a defined waist.
• Pear: Curvy hips and thighs with a narrower upper body.
• Apple: Rounded stomach area with a fuller bustline.
• Rectangle: Straight figure with minimal difference between waist, hips, and shoulders.
• Inverted Triangle: Broad shoulders with narrower hips.

2. 2. Know Your Fit: The first step in styling any dress is finding the right fit. Your body is unique, and the dress should complement your shape. Whether you love a tailored waist, a flowing skirt, or the classic A-line cut, focus on what flatters your figure. Don’t be confined by traditional sizing—explore alterations or try different cuts to find what feels best on you.
3. Embrace Colors and Prints: Color and print are powerful tools in fashion. They can set the tone of your outfit and express your mood. Whether you’re drawn to bold florals, classic stripes, or solid hues, choose patterns and colors that resonate with you. Don’t shy away from mixing prints—stripes with florals or polka dots with plaid can create a playful, fashion-forward look.
4. Layer with Confidence: Layers can transform a dress from day to night, casual to formal, or summer to winter. A denim jacket or a cozy cardigan adds warmth and a casual edge, while a sleek blazer can elevate your dress for a more polished look. Scarves, shawls, and even a simple button-down shirt tied at the waist can add dimension and interest to your outfit.
5. Mix and Match: One of the most fun aspects of fashion is the ability to mix and match. Pair your dress with unexpected pieces, like a chunky sweater or a casual tee layered underneath, to create a fresh look. Experiment with textures, like leather jackets with floral dresses or satin skirts with cotton tops. The goal is to make the dress feel like an extension of your personality.
6. Accessorise Boldly: Accessories are the secret to making any dress truly yours. A statement belt can cinch the waist of a flowy dress, giving you an hourglass silhouette. Bold jewellery, like chunky necklaces or oversized earrings, can add a touch of glam, while a chic handbag or crossbody can tie your look together. Don’t be afraid to play with colours and textures—accessories are your playground.

Styling according to your body shape:

• Hourglass: Highlight your defined waist with cinched silhouettes like wrap dresses, empire waist dresses, and belted pieces. Opt for balanced necklines like V-necks and boat necks.
• Pear: Create a more balanced silhouette. A-line dresses, skirts that flare at the knee, and vertical stripes can elongate your legs. Focus on tops with details on the shoulders or neckline to draw the eye upwards.
• Apple: Emphasise your legs and create a slimming effect. Opt for empire waist dresses, tunics, and V-neck tops that elongate your torso. Choose A-line skirts and avoid tight-fitting clothing around the midsection.
• Rectangle: Define your waist and create curves. Belted dresses and jackets, peplum tops, and high-waisted bottoms can add shape to your figure. Experiment with different necklines and patterns to add visual interest.
• Inverted Triangle: Balance your broad shoulders. Opt for V-neck and scoop neck tops to elongate your neck. A-line skirts and dresses with wider straps or off-the-shoulder styles can balance your proportions.
