The perfect dress for you could be strapless, have a tailored collar, or a scooped neckline. These styles will draw the eye upwards, therefore achieving the balance to flatter your curves. A belt can also accentuate your waist and create an hourglass shape. If you already have an hourglass figure like Mariah Carey, a wrap style dress will enhance your small waist and showcase your feminine curves. A short dress can add leg length. Paired with heels, a well-fitted mini can make you look taller more slender. Choose a specific part of your body you want to draw attention to, and accessorize to enhance that area.
