There are several types of body shapes. They include straight, pear, spoon, hourglass, inverted triangle and apple. When shopping for homecoming dresses, you should always know which body type you are. Here are descriptions of each body type to help you find which one relates to your body’s shape.

• Straight body shapes are similar through their hips, waists and shoulders.
• Pear or spoon body shapes have hips that are wide than their upper bodies.
• Hourglass body shapes have evenly proportioned hips and busts, but smaller waists.
• Inverted triangle body shapes tend to have a larger upper body, and smaller lower bodies.
• Apple shaped bodies tend to carry most of their weight in their waists.

Measuring your bust, waist and hips can also help you discover which body type you are. Here are some fashion tips for each body type to keep in mind as you’re shopping our collection of one shoulder homecoming dresses.

Straight body types:

• Accentuate your waist by wearing a tight fitting dress, and adding a wide belt around your waist.
• Wearing dresses with full skirts, fitted waists or embellishments around your bust will add volume and highlight your bust.

Pear or spoon body types:

• Dresses with A-line skirts will draw attention to your bust and away from the lower half of your body.
• Wide necklines and embellishments around the bust are other dress features that appeal to this body shape.

Hourglass body types:

• Try on one shoulder homecoming dresses that are balanced. For example, if the dress has a fitted top then it should also have a fitted skirt.
• You can highlight your waist by wearing a wide belt around the dress.

Inverted triangle body types:

• Dresses that appeal to this body shape have v-shaped necklines, empire waists and A-line skirts.
• You can also use a body shaper to smooth out your body’s shape.

Apple shaped body types:

• Steer clear from dresses with clingy skirts. Instead, search for one shoulder homecoming dresses with A-line skirts.
• To draw attention to your bust and away from your waist, look for dresses with wide necklines or embellishments around the bust area of the dress.
