Body Types,Dresses,Fashion

Sometimes finding a dress you really like which will also suit and flatter your body type can be tedious. With the guidelines I’m going to share with you, it is sure to become a favourite part of your shopping.
Mini Dresses: This is a petite woman’s haven. Mini dresses look absolutely great on them as they are usually slightly above 5 feet or under and these dresses usually gives the illusion of longer legs especially when paired with heels.

Wrap Dresses: Wrap dresses or empire dresses with a high waistlines are flattering for women who have pear shaped body. They accentuate their small waist and also give proportion to their body especially if tightly fitted over the bust to draw attention to them. With large hips, pear shaped bodies usually have an upper body that is smaller than their lower body.

Peplum Dress: Peplum dresses are ideal for women with broad shoulders. The flare at the hips can create a balance and also equalize the broad shoulders while adding curves.

Shirt Dresses: The shirt dresses are ideal for hour glass body shape. Hour glass shaped women are curvy with slim waists. Wear a shirt dress preferably with a belt to flatter your waistline while adding definition to help balance your silhouette as well as drawing subtle attention to your hips.

A Line Dresses: They are wonderful, universally flattering and they work for everyone. Both pear and apple shaped women can enjoy wearing this type of dress. Though usually favoured by women with height advantage, they are one of the best cuts for streamlining silhouettes.

Maxi Dresses: Every woman can rock a maxi dress but the maxi dresses are ideal for women with long torso and those with slightly boyish figure. They build feminine curves where they are very little curves. If your are under 5 feet please go for maxi dresses with smaller prints.

Sheath Dresses: These are a good choice for apple shaped women, they flatten the stomach and even out the body proportion. if you’re looking to have a little bit of wiggle room to hide a bit of tummy make sure to buy a size bigger to achieve this. It can be worn by most body types too.

What It’s Like To Be Pretty in Scuby's World

Being beautiful, pretty,charming,gorgeous and above all being a woman, a girl has some major benefits. I’ve definitely gotten a few favors I shouldn’t have by batting my big brown eyes If you’re funny and smart, people tend to think you are a legitimate genius – probably because people never have expectations for pretty people anyway – except to stay pretty.
It ain’t always easy, though.  People expect you to be an idiot, and when it turns out you have brains too, they tend to get freaked out. Prepare to get passed over for jobs with female hiring managers, and prepare for a string of jobs working for pervy male managers who gave you the job because they could see down your dress during the interview. Move to a bad neighborhood, and you better get a bodyguard or a boyfriend because the prison bodies down the street WILL say something inappropriate to you every chance they get. Something like, “Hey girl, you look like you taste sweet!” or “Dang, mama – lemme take a bite outta THAT!” “Can I be your sugar daddy?”My size, we are fitting kabisa as in super match or even just bark at you like a dog as they drive by (yes, all of these things really happen).

Nice guys will never, ever hit on you (presumably because they’re intimidated), but you will have more undateables flirting with you than you even thought existed. The #1 attempted pickup line will be, “Hey, are you a model?” which will embarrass you because A) obviously you’re not a model, and B) what are you supposed to say? “No, I’m not a model, I’m just NATURALLY GORGEOUS. SOAK IT UP.”

You will get so used to creepers creepin’ that it won’t faze you when the  station attendant tells you he won’t accept your money because his payment is watching you suck on one of the Blow Pops you like to buy before work. And once you get to work, you will be forced to play nice when men try to hold your hand over the counter and give you “business cards” that are very clearly just a phone number written on the back of a Rite-Aid receipt.On the flip side, you’ll get so used to this kind of attention that you’ll feel a misplaced sense of disappointment when you fail to attract catcalls from construction workers and garden-variety weirdos. You will also inevitably start to lean on your good looks in sticky situations, which will make you wholly unprepared to deal with the occasional hardass that doesn’t fall for pseudo-meaningful eye contact and flirty smiles. You are aware of this tendency, which gives you increasing levels of anxiety as you grow older and too broke to afford expensive skin-tightening cream lol. You will, at least once, have a minor meltdown over morning pillow face, hyperventilating in the mirror over the overnight appearance of fine lines.

You won’t have many girlfriends; that much should be obvious. And when you start dating someone, you’ll have to get rid of all your non-gay guy friends because your boo factor will assume they all want to date/fac you (which, to some extent, is probably true). On that note – be careful whom you choose to date, because years of only getting attention from losers with (excuse my pun) nothing to lose will do a number on your self-image.

When you go out, you always end up getting too messed up due to a combination of accepting too many free drinks from losers and drinking by yourself in the corner while your friends meet nice, college-educated guys with jobs. You take home a lot of gross guys out of boredom and loneliness. Your friends inevitably tire of taking you out because you end each night rolling around on the couch/bathroom floor clutching a bottle of CVS Chardonnay, crying “why don’t any cute boys LIKE ME??” while your friends roll their eyes because you got more attention from guys than anyone else.

Obviously I would rather be good-looking than average or even (gasp) unattractive, but once in a while it would be great if someone commented on something other than  appearance. “Wow, you’re so exotic, you should be a --- girl” sounds like a compliment.

Being all these nice things is pretty and sucking at times.
