Apple-shaped figures
This figure has more volume around the midriff, usually a less defined waist, thin legs, and square shoulders. If you feel like that matches you, you should show off your figure with dresses that draw people’s attention to your upper body, like V-necks. Empire styles are perfect for you, as well as wrap styles with A-line skirts—which elongate your figure—and full skirts. Since your legs are a strong point, highlight them with shorter designs. Avoid dresses that draw attention to your midriff, like horizontal lines, fitted bodices, or, any styles that are too baggy or shapeless.
Subtle Wrap
Mauve and lilac were seen at the Valentino, Max Mara, Tibi, and Givenchy shows. Wear them with chiffon wrap dresses like the Dot Our Fault, with its relaxed midi silhouette, polka dot print, tie side closure, puffed sleeves, and bias cut hem. Nasty Gal ($19).
