Style Code 3: Dressing the 'M'

Dress Code Formal's design team has submitted a series of tips for each type of female silhouette. There are 7 different shapes and each Style Code will cover one of the body types. Read all the Style Codes to discover your silhouette and find the perfect bridesmaid dress, evening gown or special occasion dress.

Women blessed with proportionate shoulders, bust and hips, a defined waist and delicate curves make up the 'M' body type. You are lucky and should enjoy enhancing your hourglass figure with a wide variety of silhouettes.

While searching for a perfect bridesmaid dress, evening gown or special occasion dress, keep in mind that you want to celebrate your figure and not hide it. Indulge in soft A-line skirts and try wrap, sarong style skirts with a high-low hem. The idea is to continue to hug your body and be creative with detail and accessories to draw interest. Feel free to try a pencil skirt or sheath silhouette. Or go for the fitted skirt with a slight flare at the hem.

Fortunately, you can pull off almost any neckline, but soft lines are particularly flattering on you. Dress Code Formal (DCF) offers several styles with a scoop neck and even strapless styles designed with a slight dip, creating a beautiful and enhancing line. Try princess seaming, soft gathering, or subtle embellishments to help enhance your curves. And - -definitely do not be afraid to accent your waist with any kind of band, detail or embellishment. Don't forget to check out Dress Code Formal's accessory section for lots of fun embellishments to customize your look!

When you begin to understand your body shape and what silhouettes look good on you, you can finally have fun and choose bridesmaid dresses, evening gowns or any additional wardrobe that will make you confident, be comfortable, and at the lowest prices ever!
