She Got It From Her Momma...Dressing for Your Body Type!

So today I'd like to discuss the number one rule in fashion....dressing for your body type and the holidays are no exception!  Women come in all shapes and sizes, which we should be proud of because it makes each of us unique:)  When it comes to shopping, be careful not to just follow trends...it needs to work for you (your body type, your life, etc) Don't be afraid to ask for help, our le Dress stylists are well versed in what works for what body type and are happy to help.  So many things look better on you than on the hanger and vice versa, so before getting frustrated in the fitting room...ask for help!!  That's what we're there for!  Last Sunday we did an ABC segment on this matter...I've highlighted a few body types with dresses that work and why.

And remember, le Dress has styles for every body and every budget...so stop in and work what your momma gave you ladies!!!

 Full Bust- Dress by Young: The draping of this v-neckline really helps to minimize a large bust & elongate the torso, while the snake print belt draws the eye in and cinches the waist.  We love the ¾ dolman sleeve, which adds a very chic 70’s vibe to the look.

 Tall- Dress by Jay Godfrey: The color-blocking on this dress really helps to define the proportions of the body, which then breaks up the long line from head to toe.  We also love the ruffle detailing at the neckline to add another element of interest.  

  Pear- Dress by Max & Cleo: A classic A-line is a great way to go if you’re fuller on the bottom, but this dress has a great update with the accordion pleating which works because of the graduated width of the pleating, being wider at the bottom half of skirt.  The black ribbon detail really cinches the waist while the v-neckline elongates & draws the eye upward.  

 Petite- Dress by Bianca Nero:  With the tulip hem line and all-over ruching, this dress really adds dimension to a petite body while still showing it off.  We always love a bright pop of color, it screams ‘fun’ and she's ready for a night on the town!

 Ladies of le Dress, PR & models looking fabulous...mind you we had a 5:30am call time!
