Pair it up with a hat and flip-flops and you’re ready for a day at the beach. Or maybe, pair it up with red pumps, bold lipstick and you’re all set to rock the party. Totally depends on how you dress it up or down.

Knowing your shape and what flatters you

With a gorgeous dress, comes its own set of challenges; it surely does with LBD’s. We all know we won’t wear it if it’s not comfortable. And finding a perfect one that suits all your needs is quite difficult. It doesn’t really matter what shape are you, every shape is beautiful.  The style you choose can say a lot about you.

If you have broad shoulders and a bit of a tummy, opt for fit and flare LBD’s. That way you can hide your extra fats or let’s say flabs.

If you have a thin waist and a good height, opt for knee-length peplum.
