Not every woman rocks major curves. If your shape is more
Zoe Saldana than Nicki Minaj, you can definitely wear dresses that are fitted to show off a slim figure. This rectangular
body type tends to be forgiving even to shorter women, who
are often challenged when shopping for an LBD if they have
a curvaceous body. You can create the illusion of curves with
an A-line LBD, especially one with a flirty, swingy skirt. A
boatneck style of neckline, as well as a low-cut v-neck, can
draw attention to beautiful shoulders and bone structure.

Consider accentuating the legs and neck if you have an
apple-shaped body similar to Queen Latifah or Oprah. If
you choose to wear bell-shaped dresses that hide the midsection, the length should stop above the knee to bring
attention to a sexy pair of legs. Flowing dresses with embellished tops and detailed necklines will accentuate the
bust and bring the eye up to the décolletage and above.
Beautiful earrings and necklaces will also draw focus to
the face and neckline. Accentuating the smallest part of
the figure, the ribcage, with a wide belt or a built-in, structured waistline, will create a flattering silhouette and the
illusion of slimmer curves.
