Each month over 10,000 people search online for advice around body shapes, now five fashion bloggers and a high-street retailer have teamed up to give women the confidence they need to make an informed decision when choosing dresses for their body shape.
Working collaboratively fashion bloggers Muireann Carey-Campbell, Amanda Carr, Kate Sutton, Gemma Cartwright and Harriet Thorn and M&S offer their personal styling expertise.
Rectangle shaped, Muireann of Bangsandabun.com, said: "For me it’s all kind of about the optical illusion of creating a bit of a waist. I tend to go for classic shift dresses but if there’s gathering in that area it always helps. I’ll experiment more with different fabrics, colours and patterns."
But for curvy hour-glass shaped Kate of WitWitWoo.com, it’s all about the right amount of cleavage: "I can’t really avoid it, but [I tend to show] my cleavage area - but I don’t like to show too much off, just enough! I would tend to wear a maxi dress in the day, something free-flowing and comfortable. In the evening, something more fitted, probably a bit sexier and just below the knee."
Amanda of TheWomensRoomBlog.com is more concerned with support and structure: “Because I’m slightly older - I’m over fifty - I’m looking to cover up that ‘fifty-roll’ you get as you get older, around the waist. So I really love dresses, often with a bit of structure in them. As you get older you like a bit of structure in your dresses."
Gemma of BigGirlsBrowse.com and Harriet of WhereIsHarriet.com, who are pear and hour glass shapes respectively, agree that nipped in waists and fuller skirts are the most flattering on their frames.
