Every body type is unique. Once you know your body shape and what suits you best, shopping should no longer feel taxing. If you are trying to figure out what kinds of dress prints will go with your body type, then this article is for you. Read on:

1. Pear-shaped body
People with this body type are wider from the waist down, so they should consider wearing dark colors on the bottom. Any outfit that falls well from the waist and makes the lower body look flattering should be a good bet. Anything from a patterned singlet dress to an A-line dress or skirt should be a good bet. As for prints, a classic shirt-dress with enlarged motifs in the bodice could help the shoulders stand out.

2. Apple-shaped body
This body is best described as circular. You have an apple-shaped body if your shoulders, waist, and bust are all broad. Wrap and bias cut dresses in diagonal or vertical stripes can be carried off particularly well by those with this form.

3. Hourglass-shaped body
This body type may be the easiest to dress. However, you should steer clear of loose-fitting or babydoll dresses. Your biggest asset is your waistline, which must be accentuated with every dress you wear. When it comes to prints, your form would look flattering in both dainty microprint as well as larger geometrical patterns.

4. Scissor-shaped body
People with this body type have broad shoulders, with their frame narrowing down from the waist. Feminine, bright-colored prints can work well for this body type. Avoid wearing dark colors for the bottom as they can make it look narrower, which means they will highlight your broad shoulders.

5. Rectangular body
This body type doesn’t have a conventionally flattering silhouette, as the shoulders and hips are in line with each other. You can add definition to your frame by wearing slip dresses that have bright and bold prints. Snug dresses with gingham print will also make you look fabulous.

6. Inverted triangle body
This body type can simply be explained as top-heavy. If you think your upper body is heavier than your lower body, then try wearing horizontal stripes or larger, playful prints in the bottom area. Similarly, keeping the bodice plain or having minimal print in that region can help create the illusion of a narrower bust.
