Her body shape: STRAIGHT. Definition: Shoulders and hips which are roughly the same size, with not much definition around the waist. How to dress her: Look for a dress with a defined waist. Think an A- line, empire or mermaid silhouette, or simply a relaxed dress with a nipped- in waist.

Her body shape: APPLE. Definition: A ribcage and waist that are wider than hips and shoulders. How to dress her: Empire cut and wrap dresses will be her most flattering.

Her body shape: PEAR. Definition: A combo of slender shoulders, with wider hips and thighs. How to dress her: The universally flattering silhouette: the A- line.

Her body shape: HOURGLASS. Definition: Her shoulders and hips are pretty much the same size as each other, but her waist is narrow. How to dress her: Look for body- hugging dresses – such as mermaid silhouette styles that feature V or sweetheart necklines.

Her body shape: INVERTED TRIANGLE. Definition: If the top portion of her body is larger than the bottom part, often her shirt size is larger than her pant size. How to dress her: An A- line skirt, and show off her shoulders with a sleeveless style.
