With its tight fit at the hips and gradually widens towards the hem, you can rock a tailored look that shows off your curves while also enabling you to avoid suffocating in unnecessary fabric. Think you have too much tummy or maybe not enough shape to fill in this dress? Not to worry, A-line dresses are great for all shapes and sizes. For curvy Fashionistas, try wearing a color-blocked dress with light colors coloring the bust and dark colors covering the waist. This will allow you to highlight you best features while making you seem slimming with the dark colors.
