Not long now until we can start wearing skirts and dresses without leggings and tights again! Woop!
But do you know what flatters your body type?
Here are some tips:



A-Line dresses and skirts are great for women who are very hippy as they skim the hips and thighs.

Fuller skirts: If you are very skinny and want to create the illusion of curves go for a full skirt. Think of the classic waif, Audrey Hepburn, in Roman Holiday with her voluminous gowns. A fuller garment silhouette will work to give the illusion of extra curves.

Short waisted: Short waisted is when the waist is a bit higher than that of the average person (legs will be particularly long in contrast). Hence the waist of some garments may hit a bit lower than most. You can fi x some of these problems by taking in your dresses at the true waist if there is sash on a garment by moving it up.

Long waisted: The opposite of short waisted, this is when you have problems finding tops that are long enough for you. Again, garments generally don’t fit to your true waist. 
High-waisted pants and skirts are an amazing tool if this is you as they create visual balance along your midsection.

Pencil skirts: Are skirts that work well on many body types. They follow the curve of the body and can be very flattering as they hit just below the knee accentuating an hourglass figure.
