Black Victorian Ball Gown Costume - On Sale

Curvaceous, with full bust, defined waist and full hips.
Hourglass body shapes should stay away from baggy outfits, as they cover up your figure and do not allow you to show off your natural curves. Wraps and dresses with fitted waists enhance your classically feminine form.

Fuller at the hips and bottom and smaller on top.
Tight fabric will not be flattering on any part of your body that has added curves. Dresses or costumes with open-neck or strapless tops enhance your upper body and draw the eye up, while full or A-line skirts help hide wider hips.

Little definition between bust, waist and hip measurements.
Look for dresses with decorative embroidery along the upper body. Costume that can grant you the opportunity to create curves where they may not be any could be another good choice.

A triangle shape lacks curves and has masculine shoulders.
By adding volume around both the thighs and hips, a balanced silhouette can be achieved while downplaying broad shoulders. Details such as ruffles and pleats at the hips or flare-cut bottoms helps create a curvier look.

Weight is carried around the middle, without a well-defined waist.
Empire waists draw the eye up, taking attention away from the middle and allowing a looser fit. Neck details bring the focus up, while full skirts can create an hourglass illusion.
