Choosing a summer dress to suit your body type

Which dress should I choose for summer?

27 MAY 2020

When summer arrives, our dresses become our best allies! Lightweight, they are more comfortable than our jeans and trousers. What's more, there's no need to think about an outfit: a dress is enough on its own.

Whether for everyday wear or a night out, a dress is always a good idea. Today, Elora explains how to choose a dress that will enhance your body shape.

Dresses for figure 8s

Women in figure 8s are blessed with generous shapes, strong breasts, rounded hips and a very pronounced waist. This is a balanced silhouette with shoulders and hips in the same line.

So go for the high waist by choosing a dress that is belted or tight around the waist. Close-fitting, slightly flowing styles are also perfect for hugging your curves without suffocating you too much. Free up your upper body by choosing a neckline that shows off your bust.

Elora's recommended dress:coral wrap dress with wrap collar VOLCORA

robe portefeuille corail à col cache-coeur VOLCORA

The coral wrap dress is perfect for figure 8s. With its vibrant colour, built-in belt and V-neckline, it's the perfect dress for figure 8s.

Dresses for X shapes

The X shape is very similar to the 8 shape, but thinner and with less bust. Women with an X shape have a marked waistline, and anything will suit them as long as the waistline is marked.

When you've got an X shape, it's best to keep your bust clear, emphasise your waist and highlight your legs.

Elora's recommended dress: short blue denim dress with belt VOEUX

robe bleu denim courte avec ceinture VOEUX

Short, belted dresses are what suit them best. Fluid but structured, it will enhance their waistline and won't suffocate their breasts with its slight V-neckline.

Dresses for H-shaped women

H-shaped women have shoulders, waist and pelvis in the same alignment. They can show off their pretty legs and create the illusion of a waist with the right accessories. H-shaped women can also make the most of their décolleté for a very feminine result.

Structured dresses work very well for H-shaped women. Empire cuts and shirt dresses that emphasise the bust or legs (if short) are perfect for them.

Elora's recommended dress: long shirt dress with slit opening

robe chemise longue avec ouverture fente

Shirt dresses are sublime on H-shaped women. This model combines comfort and sensuality thanks to the slit in the legs. The belt can be worn on the hips and a little loose to create a waist.

Dresses for V-shaped women

V-shaped women have square shoulders that are more pronounced than their hips. They are often athletic and sporty. They can therefore restore the balance between shoulders and hips by choosing dresses with more volume at the bottom.

Fluid dresses with thin straps or flared dresses are a good solution. They can also make the most of the décolleté, whether to free the bust or highlight the back.

robe courte évasée coquelicot avec décolleté V et ouverture dos VERITE

The short poppy red dress is perfect for summer! V-shaped women will be sublimated in this model because the bottom is more flared and the back and chest are highlighted.

The dress for O-shaped women

O-shaped women are lucky enough to have generous breasts, so it's a good idea to show them off! They can therefore use and abuse necklines without them being too plunging. They can wear flowing cuts that are still structured so as not to add too much volume.

They can also reveal their legs on sunny days and wear heels to elongate their silhouette even further.

Elora's recommended dress: short, flowing off-white dress with feathered detailing

robe courte et fluide écrue avec détails plumetis

The ecru dress is fluid and light, perfect for summer. It highlights the O-shaped woman's décolleté without overdoing it. Short but not too short, as it stops above the knee, it will show off their legs to their best advantage. The plumetis adds a lot of finesse to this piece!

Dresses for A shapes

A-shaped women have hips that are wider than their shoulders. This is a very common and very feminine morphology! So you can balance the top and bottom by wearing dresses with volume at the top.

Anything with puffed sleeves, frills at the top and bare shoulders will be sublime on A-line women. The bottom should be more flowing, close to the hips without moulding them too much.

Elora's recommended dress: short dress with bare shoulders and puffed sleeves

robe courte avec épaules dénudées et manches bouffantes

By wearing this dress with bare shoulders, A-line women balance their upper body with their hips. It's a short style that reveals beautiful legs for summer. The elasticated waist adds a very feminine touch and the flowing bottom is perfect for A shapes.
