Style advice for the Emilia Dress
The Emilia Dress for X-types
This is such a fantastic dress on your body shape! The cut of the Emilia Dress is perfect for X-types provided that you go for the version with casing and belt so that you beautifully tighten the dress at the waist, highlighting it just that little bit extra. The Emilia Dress also hugs your natural curves and add the right schwung to your lower body.
Tip: pick a plain colour or a delicate print. The fabric ought to be solid enough, while still retaining a lovely fluid drape.
The Emilia Dress for 8-types
Full hourglasses should also make the Emilia Dress with casing and belt. This cut hugs your natural curves. The belt and pussy bow collar make for the ultimate feminine touch.
Opt for fabric with a fluid drape (e.g. satin) that flows nicely over your body's curves. Avoid fabrics that are too stiff.
The Emilia Dress for V-types
The focal point on V-types is the upper body. To create a sense of balance, the focus needs to be drawn to the hips. So, be sure that the dress flares out enough at the bottom to create an A-line. Tip: don’t include the casing and belt for this version. This provides the dress with the right cut for you – slightly flared at the bottom without focussing on the waist. The dress goes perfectly over a pair of (jeans)trousers with slight bootcut.
The Emilia Dress for A-types
The hips are the A-type’s centre of gravity. The trick here is to create the illusion of width at the shoulders so that they are in better proportion to your hips. The yoke on the shoulders of the Emilia Dress creates a horizontal line and creates the illusion of width.
Tip: make the dress with casing and belt to put your waist more in the spotlight. Be careful not to make the belt too tight though. The transition from your upper body to the lower, has to be a subtle one. Pick fabric with a fluid drape that falls loosely over the hips.
The Emilia Dress for H-types
Your figure is naturally well-balanced. Your shoulders and hips are more or less the same widths. It’s just the waist that's missing. The Emilia Dress fixes that problem for you. By tightening the belt, you create a lovely waist. You could also decide to wear the dress loose (not tightened) or wear it over a pair of trousers. That's also pretty on your body shape.
Go for stiff fabric or fabric with a fluid drape. If you opt for the latter, make sure that the fabric is still heavy enough. If you decide to go for a print, then pick geometric shapes, checks or stripes.
The Emilia Dress for O-types
For O-types, the danger zone is the body's midriff, which is why we'll work on drawing attention away from it. Make the dress without the casing and belt and make sure that it flows loosely around your body. Tip: opt for a solid, dark colour in understated fabric and pair the dress with eye-catching earrings. That will help draw all the attention to your upper body.
The Emilia Dress for I-types
The Emilia Dress has all the accents your straight figure needs to give it more body: the pussy bow collar, the playful pleats, the belt, etc. Pick fabric that really stands out in a crowd, maybe textured or with a pattern. You could also go for a bold colour. It’s sure to do wonders for your straight, slender figure. Both options work for you!
