Finding the perfect fit
Choose a dress that is right for your figure. A bodice style dress is really flattering if you have a fuller figure. Bodices nip you in at the waist and if they have a lace-up back, allow a great fit around your bust. Any dresses with overlay fabric or pleating detail around the waist help to hide a tummy. Another very flattering style is empire line which falls from under the bust so doesn't cling to you tummy or hips. If you prefer to always wear a bra – look for a dress with bra-friendly straps rather than spaghetti straps. Bear in mind that most strapless dresses will come with the option of adding straps. For grown-up glamour, there are some stunning red-carpet prom dresses. These often have amazing low backs and beautiful beaded detail. They are more figure-hugging in shape.
