Party dresses and evening gowns

Figure Flattering Dresses
The idea that it’s your shape not your size that matters has been around for a while now. We have been told that most of us fall into various shapes depending on bust, waist and hip measurements such as Apple, Pear, Hourglass and Rectangle.

But until recently that was as far as it went and we were left to search the styles that best suit our shape. All that has changed with stores like House of Fraser offering tips on what styles to buy and a collection of suitable outfits.

From Hourglass to Pear Shapes
Each shape collection has been specifically chosen to meet the needs of women who love to look gorgeous. Buying outfits to compliment your body shape and proportions will accentuate your best features and produce the illusion of a balanced body. Pear shapes are guided towards fullers skirts and wider necklines, the straight up and down of the rectangle are shown how to make curves while the Apple is given plenty of soft fluid empire-line gowns to wear. This just leaves the Hourglass to show off her curves in fitted styles and v-neck shaped dresses.

Anoushka G Evening Gowns
Looking great has never been so easy especially with all your favourite brands in one place like Phase Eight, Biba, Jacques Vert, Coast, Alexon, Kaliko, CC, Karen Millen, Oasis and more.
