How to Pick Out a Ball Gown

It is believed that every girls dreams of being a princess in ball gowns, but in fact, not every girls will look like that. If you are going to attend some event, it may be a good choice. And the fit ball gown can highlight your assets and hide the where you don't want to show. How to choose the ball gown, in general, you should pick out it according to your figure.

Hourglass Shapes: Think Marilyn Monroe when you imagine an hourglass frame. These girls are evenly proportioned with a narrow waistline, curvy hips and a generous bust. Size and shape aren't necessarily related, since you can be a tall and slender hourglass or you can rock voluptuous curves. A ball gown draws all eyes to your curves, from your bust to your itty-bitty waist. Diagonal draping on the skirt can emphasize your curves, showing off your hips even under an oh-so-full skirt. Petite hourglass shapes may find themselves swimming in too much fabric in a ball gown. The waist seam can cut a shorter figure in half, and the skirt might be too much for a small frame.
Inverted Triangle: If you're broad shouldered, have a larger bust and a tiny tush and thighs, you can carry off a ball gown style dress, as long as you opt for the right dress. Choose a gown that's simple and clean on top, with an elaborate skirt worthy of any storybook maiden. Ruffles, ruching, lace or feathers will add bulk to your bottom half, balancing your bust and shoulders.
Pear Shapes: Whether you call it a pear or a triangle, many girls carry their curves below the waist. If your thighs and tush are a bit bigger than the rest of you, the best dress is one that draws the eye upward. You can wear a ball gown style, since the fullness in the skirt will hide heavier hips and thighs whether you're slender but self-conscious about your tush or a curvier plus-size girl. The fitted bodice will show off a narrow waist and sexy shoulders while keeping the attention up and away from your lower body. Choose a ball gown style with sparkling beads, lavish lace or your favorite details on the bust to keep all eyes up and on your beautiful face.
Alternatives: If you don't like the way you look in a traditional ball gown, but love the full on the bottom and slim on top silhouette, consider a princess-style gown. Unlike the traditional ball gown, the A-line or princess gown nips in below the bust, rather than at the natural waist or slightly lower. This style can hide your tummy and keep all eyes looking upward. If you want the detail that comes with a ball gown skirt, choose an A-line style with ruching, ruffles or other skirt detailing to add the impression of extra fullness -- and be sure to wear a full petticoat underneath your dress.
