Choose a dress according to your body type
It is important to find a dress that fits your body type as it will make you look elegant. Find out your body type. In general, there are four body types. They are:
Banana or rectangle: A straight body type where the waist is less defined. Measurements between bust and waist or hip and waist are a few centimeters.
Apple or inverted triangle: In this shape, the shoulders and bust are wider and the hips and waist are narrower giving an inverted triangle shape.
Pear or triangle: In this shape, the hips and waist are wider and the bust and shoulders are narrower, giving the shape of a triangle.
Hourglass or double triangle: In this shape, the waist is well defined. But the hips, like the shoulders, are wide.
Choose a dress that suits the body by balancing. For example, a person who has broad shoulders might choose a ballroom dress with a wide skirt. This will balance out the broad shoulders.
Choose a color that suits you
Ballroom dance dresses are mostly flashy and have intense colors. However, there is no obligation to choose only bright colors. When choosing the dress, go according to the color of the body and the color of the hair. For example, electric and very bright colors go with black hair. When it comes to blonde hair, lighter colors work well. Nowadays, pastel colors are also becoming a famous choice for ballroom dresses.
Choose a dress that highlights your features
The design should be such that it highlights your features. For example, if you have protruding collarbones, choose a design that highlights them. If you have a narrow waist, choose a dress that highlights it. Highlighting the features can make the dress look more attractive and beautiful and attract more attention.
