Style advice for the Agatha Dress
Empire waist dresses make you look taller. Why? Because the high horizontal line leads the eye upwards. That makes the Agatha dress a dream-come-true for anyone on the petite side.
The Agatha dress for X- and 8-types
X- and 8-types have naturally well-balanced bodies. The shoulders and hips are more or less the same widths and there is a clear waistline. That’s why you should choose clothes that follow your body's natural curves and preserve the harmony of your proportions.
Always accentuate your waist. The waist on this dress is higher than your natural waist, but the cut of the skirt ensures that your natural curves still get the right amount of attention.
Don’t make the dress too long because you want to preserve that feeling of lightness.
The Agatha Dress for V-types
V-types are characterised by their broad shoulders. The deep V-neck draws attention to the middle of your figure and away from those broad shoulders. The wide skirt also adds a nice dose of volume to your slender hips and helps balance out your upper and lower body as well.
The Agatha Dress for H- and I-types
The deep V-neck, butterfly sleeves, and swishy circle skirt on the Agatha dress all give your figure more shape. Say goodbye to being straight as a ruler! This dress even creates the illusion of a delicate waistline.
Feel free to shorten the dress a bit to highlight your legs. Discover a simple way to alter the dress length here.
This willowy dress looks lovely in a solid fabric. Still, your figure can always do with just a touch more, so don’t be shy about picking a print either.
The Agatha Dress for A-types
A-types are characterised by the contrast between their wider lower body and narrower upper body. In other words, your hips, thighs, and upper legs are broader than your shoulders.
The centre of gravity on pears is the hips. The Agatha’s swishy circle skirt disguises them beautifully. And with your upper body in the spotlight, your silhouette miraculously acquires the perfect proportions! The butterfly sleeves and that V-neck really capture the imagination and do your figure wonders. Even better, the pleats on the top add volume to your bustline.
Choose a flowing fabric with a fluid drape, and pair the dress with heels. That will give you the few more centimetres of height that your figure will thank you for. It will also visually and vertically stretch your lower body.
The Agatha Dress for O-types
O-types want to create as many vertical lines as possible and draw attention away from the midriff. The goal is to highlight the face, neck, shoulders, décolleté, and gorgeous legs. The Agatha Dress is great because it draws focus everywhere but the middle.
What’s more, the Agatha's V-neck elegantly emphasises your décolleté and distracts from your belly. And because it cleverly splits your body up into different zones, you look more slender overall. The dress has a very deep neckline, so combining it with a camisole or tank top is perfectly possible.
The best thing about the Agatha? It's the empire waist, hands-down. It magically draws attention away from the midriff and towards the décolleté and your face.
The skirt's A-line cut drapes loosely over the midriff and flares towards the bottom. The result is a lovely balanced silhouette. Don’t make the skirt too long. You want to show off those killer legs!
