What Is The Best Dress For Your Body Type?

Let’s celebrate your shape! Whether you’re straight or pear shaped, Macy’s has a wonderful selection of evening dresses to make every woman feel beautiful.

Straight Body Type

If you have a straight body type, your shoulders and bust are in close measurement with your hips and your waist is not clearly defined. A blouson dress is the best look for a straight body type.

Straight Body Type

You’ll love the way the bodice elegantly drapes into a fitted waistline, lending definition to your shape.

Pear Body Type

If you have a pear shape body type, you are usually fuller on the bottom than the top and your hips are larger than your bust.

Pear Body Type

To beautifully balance out your silhouette, you’ll love dresses with dramatic bodices that draw the eye upward.

Curvy Body Type

If you have a curvy body type, you are shapelier throughout with a full bust, hips, thighs and bottom. A mermaid dress is the best look for a curvy body type.
