Bodycon dresses are one of the new raves in town when it comes to updating your wardrobe on fashionable dresses. While most fashion forward women are including this dress into their elegant collection of dresses, some are skeptical about the dress tightness and how it would turn out on them. A bodycon dress makes you body conscious because it is a dress that highlights your body rather than hides it. It hugs your figure because it is made from elasticized material such as spandex or lycra. Usually, most bodycon dresses are short in length. Some fall mid length and you can occasionally find longer bodycon dress styles. Not all women can wear this body-molding dress because the dress will accentuate the great and not so great body shapes, showing off any little body wrinkle. Still, you don’t have to have the perfect hot figure to wear this dress. Whatever you choose to wear, make sure you are comfortable with what part and shape the dress is accentuating. Here are 10 tips on how to make your bodycon dress work for you: 1. For curvy and big body shapes, having at least one bodycon dress in black, navy, brown, dark grey or dark purple is important. The bodycon dress’ slimming effect plus the dark colours will help hide flaws to keep you looking stunning at any event. 2. Look out for bodycon dresses that will accentuate your best body feature. Bodycon dresses usually are made specially to accentuate certain body parts. So for whatever part of your body you are interested in flaunting, there is a bodycon dress made especially for it. If you are curvy and flat bellied, you should be on the lookout for a dress held tight on the waist. If you’ll like to show off your long legs, lookout for bodycon dresses that are short or middle length. 3. Bodycon dresses are classy and edgy on their own so to balance your look, pair it up with a loose fitting cardigan or jacket while you pay particular attention to your colour mix. 4. Bodycon dresses accomplish a lot on their own. So when pairing with accessories, make sure your choices add up to what the dress has already done for you. Skip the heavy duty accessories and go with the simple and neutral to help complement your look. 5. Comfort is a key consideration when looking out for bodycon dresses that would work for you. Don’t go a size less than your size as you’ll eventually need to pass it down to your little sister. Note that a size more than your size will work too as long as it is not too big on the shoulders or the sleeve. 6. Our dress choice for most occasions whether night or day will be a bodycon dress in neutral or dark colours. Apart from it being easy to wear for most occasions, it is very easy to select accessories such as shoes, jewelry and handbag. 7. A plus size woman who is comfortable with her body can also wear a body con dress. You may choose to invest in great control underwear to help enhance the look of the bodycon dress on you but it is not necessary as long as you are comfortable with your body. 8. Bodycon dresses are great for parties but for a more elegant look that’s great for the office, look out for bodycon dresses with higher necklines and long sleeves to keep the cleavage under wraps. You can also pair the dress up with cute flats and loose jackets. 9. A bodycon dress trick is to look out for one which features black or navy panel sides which creates the illusion of a smaller waist. Another is to look out for them in thicker fabrics. When a bodycon dress is well structured, it will better slim down your waist, and shape over your hips without creating extra bulges. 10. You can try a bodycon top and a matching pencil skirt for a sophisticated edge. If you don’t like showing too much belly skin, you might want to skip this style altogether.     For more fashion options, visit Zima Fashion.
