Dresses for Straight Body Shapes
Many women have straight body shapes, which mean that there is little differentiation between the measurements of the bust, waist, and hips. Straight body shapes come in two different forms as well and that is the tall and thin body shape and the petite body shape. Women who are tall and thin usually have average bust sizes and smaller curves. A dress that adds more definition to these areas can greatly increase the overall style. Women with this body shape can also choose to show off the longer legs with a shorter length dress or go with a form fitting sheath silhouette to display the gentle curves. Adding more definition to the bust can be achieved by adding extra rusching or going with a criss cross bodice.
Sashes, belts, and other details can be combined with an empire silhouette or others soften features. Different hemlines can also be added to hide the lanky figure. Dresses for petite body shapes can use similar dress details to add more definition to the bust, waist, and hip areas. The one difference the lack of longer legs which means an empire or A-line silhouette is a good selection for elongating the figure. Adding too much detail can overpower a petite figure so keep features simple to a belt, sash, or other smaller items.
Celebrity examples of the tall and thin body shape and petite figure are Uma Thurman and Winona Ryder. Here Uma wears a very lovely dress with a square neckline, floral patterns throughout, and a layered, multi-tier skirt that really compliments her figure. Winona is featured in a black dress with square neckline as well with an A-line silhouette with a ruffled hemline.
get a dress thats fairly short to show off your legs but wear tights cause its winter lol :)
also buy something which puffs out slightly at the bottom which will give the illusion of hips
a dress suits a belt creates a waist and hourglass figure :)
I think that anything with a defined waist line at the slimest part of your waist would look great! Have fun, and good luck finding the right dress!
