What are bodycon dresses?

When it comes to attending a wedding there is only one rule to follow… choose an outfit in which you feel good.

A wedding is a true celebration and you should be able to enjoy the day feeling like a million dollars whether you are the bride or part of the wider wedding party.

There are scores of styles, colours and fabrics to choose from when looking for a dress for a wedding, all of which can speak of class, sophistication and elegance.

Bodycon dresses are often at the height of fashion and, contrary to popular belief, anyone can wear them and look fantastic.

Bodycon dresses are close fitting dresses which show off the shape of your body accentuating its assets. And remember the golden rule… if you have got it, flaunt it.

Everyone should celebrate how they look and in 2024, women should not feel like they have to cover up. Bodycon dresses are made using stretchy materials to accentuate the curves of the wearer’s body. So if you are slim and lithe, you can show off your figure with all its elegance. If you are curvaceous, then show off your curves and be proud.

There are a range of designs to accentuate your figure to its best advantage. If you have an apple shape body, it means your upper body is bigger than the lower half. For this beautiful shape, choose a bodycon dress which will flatter your top half and highlight your legs, perhaps a short dress or a dress with a slit along the skirt.

If you are more of a pear shape, with wider hips and a smaller bust, a bodycon dress can make you look stunning. Go for styles which have a lower neckline, such as an off-the-shoulder gown, which will draw attention to your upper body and balance out your proportions.

If you blessed with a classic hourglass shape, with your hips and bust nearly equal in size and a well defined waist which is narrower than both, then a bodycon dress could be a perfect choice. These form-fitting dresses will hug your curves and accentuate your waistline, creating a stunning silhouette.

Seamless underwear can also accentuate your assets helping to create smooth lines and beautiful shapes.

Bodycon dresses are usually made with soft, stretchy material so are also comfortable and versatile to wear. However, remember they are also often skintight which can restrict the length of your stride and can make walking in heels challenging.

The secret to looking stunning in a bodycon dress is to find the one which is right for you in terms of style, fabric, colour and design. There are so many to choose from but once you have found your perfect dress, celebrate your shape and make an impressive statement – that you are simply fabulous.
