Style advice for the Hope Dress
This light & easy dress is a true spring dream! It’s a breezy dress in a loose cut. Would you rather the dress be slightly more form-fitting? Just go a size smaller. Altering the length is a snap. Find out what works best for your body shape here.
The Hope Dress for O-types
The loose cut of the Hope dress looks good on your figure. The placket on the décolleté subtly draws the gaze towards your face, and the horizontal pleats on the skirt lead the eye away from your midriff.
Choose a fabric with a fluid drape. If you’d like to go for a print, vertical stripes across the full length of the dress are perfect for you. Horizontal lines are only o.k. at the very top, where they’re a handy way of adding more structure to your shoulder line.
The Hope Dress for H-types
The loose cut of the Hope dress disguises your lack of waist. What’s more, the multiple pleats and other details on the dress give your shape more ‘body’. It nicely breaks up the straight line of your figure.
The Hope Dress for I-types
An opening at the décolleté, ruffles, the sleeve length, horizontal pleats, you name it... There are more than enough wonderful details on the Hope dress to make it every slim rectangle's dream come true.
Make the Hope in a soft white or light-coloured fabric to create a beautiful, romantic look. However, you also can’t go wrong by making the dress in a flashier, eye-catching colour.
The Hope Dress for A-types
The Hope dress has a straight, loose cut, with no emphasis on the waist at all. You might be tempted to think that makes it a no-go for pears. But actually, it works! Why? The 3/4-length sleeves subtly draw attention towards the waist. Is your heart set on looking stunning in this dress? Well, then you'll need to draw attention to the top of your body. The lovely opening at the décolleté does this nicely. Be sure to wear the right accessories, striking earrings, for instance.
The perfect match for your body shape involves garments that subtly accentuate your waist, such as the Carole, Charlotte, Joanne, Taylor, Vienna, Rosie and Susan (tightened at the waist) dresses.
The Hope Dress for X- and 8-types
Neat and full hourglasses have naturally well-balanced figures. The shoulders and hips are more or less the same width and there is a clear waistline. Choose clothing styles that follow your body's natural curves and highlight your waist as much as possible.
Unfortunately, the Hope dress doesn’t do any of those things. It completely disguises your waistline and your stunning natural curves. What dresses look divine on your body shape? The Charlotte, Juliette, Carole, Izzy and Kamille!
The Hope Dress for V-types
V-types tend to be top-heavier. They have fairly broad shoulders or are busty, while their lower body, in contrast, is narrower. The art is to restore the right balance and camouflage the lack of waistline.
The loose cut of the Hope dress looks good on you. It also cleverly conceals your lack of waistline. Overall, the dress has enough details dispersed throughout to create the impression of a balanced whole.
Want to lengthen the sleeves a bit? Feel free! That will draw even more attention to your lower body.
