Let’s break it down by body type and style tips to help you say yes to your dream dress!
Hourglass
If you have a well-defined waist with balanced bust and hips, show off those gorgeous curves with fitted gowns like mermaid or trumpet styles. A classic wrap dress or a belted waistline can also enhance your natural shape. Look for fabrics that hug in all the right places and necklines like sweetheart or V-neck to add an extra touch of elegance.

Pear-Shaped
For those who have a smaller upper body and fuller hips, A-line and ballgown dresses are your best friends! These silhouettes cinch at the waist and flow beautifully, creating a balanced, flattering look. Off-the-shoulder or embellished bodices help draw attention upward while giving you that effortlessly glam vibe.

Athletic Build
For those with a straighter figure, create curves with fit-and-flare, ruffled, or peplum-style dresses. Styles with intricate beading, ruching, or corset bodices add definition, while high slits or open backs bring an edgy, fashion-forward touch to your prom look.

Petite
If you’re on the shorter side, opt for dresses that elongate your frame. Fitted silhouettes like sheath dresses or high-low hems give you a taller appearance. Avoid overly voluminous skirts, and instead, go for vertical details like sequins or a plunging neckline to add height!
