Dresses That Flatter Your Figure
Is your body type more suited for an A-line dress or an empire waistline? Bradley Bayou offers a straightforward guide to dress shopping from his book
The Science of Sexy.
By Bradley Bayou
Empire
The bodice of this dress hits just below the bustline and tapers out to the hem, as if from a very high waist.
If you are a rectangle, pick an empire dress that fits snugly around your chest and flares out to give you the illusion of a high-defined waistline. For a triangle, this silhouette will pull the eye up and make your legs seem long and lean.
