Hourglass posture

The second type of posture is similar to that of an hourglass, the top and hips are flat, while the waist forms a firm curve. To choose an hourglass dress, choose a dress that shows a curve with a V neckline.

Meanwhile, what needs to be avoided is wearing a dress that is too loose so that it makes the appearance 'straight' or turns off your body type.

Pear posture

The pear-posture body type has rumps and thighs visually larger than the upper body. This means that you can define your appearance by asserting what you have.

The key in choosing a dress is to achieve balance, for example, wear a dress that beautifies the lower body. Dresses with A-line skirts are still a mainstay and V-neck, sweetheart and boat neck pieces are also harmonious when combined.

Rectangular body posture

Similar to an hourglass posture, but when choosing a dress you need to emphasize the waist. Also, the neckline is best suited with a sweetheart cut and layering it with a blazer or coat. What needs to be avoided is a dress that is too wide because it looks bad and extravagant.

Inverted triangle posture

Athletic posture is seen in bags that are much wider than the hips. Arms and shoulders need to be 'filled' with pieces of clothing, especially dresses that fit. A pencil cut dress is perfect for this posture.

However, avoid too many accessories on the shoulders. Most appropriate, give a pattern of wrinkles and sweet layers on the lower body, especially the hips.
