If you have an apple-shaped figure, it's best to look for dresses with high necklines or thick straps. Wrap dresses that tie at the back or dresses with belts are best for your body shape. An alternative is to look for dresses that flare out in the bottom and have an A-line skirt. V-necks are flattering - just make sure they don't reveal too much cleavage.

A drop-waist dress, which hits somewhere around the hips, or no-waist shifts are good options if you need to disguise a thick waist.

Balance a full-busted figure by opting for a flattering V-neck. Or, if you need to add more volume on top, look for dresses with embellishments or detail on the bust.
