We wanted to share with your our top picks for the 2016 homecoming season for each body type!
BUSTY
The busty PromGirl body type is when your bust is large, your hips are narrow and often the waist is not well defined. You can rock an amazing homecoming dress by choosing dresses that add curves to your hips while creating a more defined waist. The selections in this category are outstanding – so many to choose from! You are sure to find one that will make you the envy of the room. We especially love the embroidered lace scoop neck bodice and rhinestone embellishments.
Our Picks: Mock Two Piece Homecoming Dress & Short V-Neck Homecoming Dress by Sherri Hill
APPLE
The apple PromGirl body type is when you carry your weight through your middle. As an apple body type you typically have slim legs and a shorter undefined waist. An A-line or full skirt will help camouflage your middle and we love these two picks because they do exactly that. Don’t forget – if you love your legs; be sure to show them off!
Our Picks: Short Chiffon Homecoming Dress with Sequined Bodice & Dazzling Sleeveless A-Line
SLENDER
The slender PromGirl body type is when you have a thin frame throughout. As a slender body type you should accentuate your long and lean physique with a fitted dress or create shape with an empire waist. We love all of the options for the slender body types! Show off your curves with these sparkling jeweled lace appliques and shimmering-silver sequins.
Our Picks: Short High-Neck Dave & Johnny Homecoming Dress & Short Emerald Navy Dress with Sequins
HOURGLASS
The hourglass PromGirl figure is curvy. Your bust and hips are proportionate to each other and your upper body is balanced with the length of your legs. The best dresses for this body type will accentuate your best asset, which is usually a well-defined waist. We picked the natural waistlines, form fitted top and accentuated waistlines for the perfect enhancements of this fabulous body type. These picks are both flirty and elegant.
Our Picks: Short Sleeveless Two-Piece Dress with Print Skirt & Sheer Lace Fitted Dress
PEAR
The pear PromGirl body type is when your hips are larger than your bust and your waist is well defined. When dressing a pear body shape, the goal is to add volume to your upper body, emphasize your small waist and de-emphasize your lower body to create a balanced silhouette. We chose a stunning two-piece with intricate beading and an elegant strapless chiffon. With a pear body type your waist is your best asset, so be sure to flaunt it!
Our Picks: Short Two-Piece Beaded Sherri Hill Dress & Strapless High Low Beaded Waistline Dress
PETITE
If you have a petite PromGirl body type, you are typically less than 5ft 3inches tall. To really make the most of your homecoming dress, try going short and showing a little leg – it will go a long way. You can also try an asymmetrical hemline that can make you appear taller. We chose slim fitting dresses with a V-neckline and a short sleeveless fit and flare because these will elongate your silhouette. Delicate, feminine dresses are a great compliment to your body type and the perfect pair of high heels will make this the perfect homecoming pair.
Our Picks: Short Off-the-Shoulder Lace V-Neck Dress & Short Sleeveless Fit-and-Flare Dress by Sherri Hill
