Style advice for the Indira Dress

The Indira dress for X- and 8-types

X- and 8-types have figures that are naturally well-balanced. The shoulders and hips are more or less the same width and there is a clear waistline. For that reason, opt for clothes that follow your body's natural curves, preserve the harmony of your proportions, and always highlight your waist.

The cut of the Indira dress doesn’t hug your natural curves and hides the waist, which doesn’t really flatter your figure. You can solve that by making a belt from the fabric and using it to tighten the waist.

The Indira Dress for O-types

O-types want to draw the focus away from their danger zone, i.e. the midriff. That makes the Indira dress perfect for you. The dress falls loosely over your body without being too wide. It creates a lovely vertical line that really flatters your rounder figure.

The shaped sleeves add more volume to the upper body, so be sure to go for a fabric with a fluid drape. Tip: wear the dress open over a top and a pair of trousers. That will diminish the effect of your rounder sides.

To create an appealing whole, play with colours and patterns. For example, pair an Afra top with horizontal pinstripes and straight leg jeans, wearing the Indira dress over them in either a brighter or darker colour.

Don’t make the dress too long; your beautiful legs deserve to be seen.

Bonus tip: go for an understated fabric and pair the dress with eye-catching earrings. That will help you draw attention to the top of the body.

The Indira Dress for A-types

Do you have an A-type silhouette? Then your centre of gravity is on your lower body and you have a narrower upper body. Your task is to draw all eyes to your upper body and make your lower body look less pronounced.

The skirt’s plain, straight cut helps keep the focus off of your lower body, while the high-necked collar and the shaped 3/4-length sleeves with wide wrist trim add volume to the upper body. Be sure not to make the sleeves any longer than 3/4-length. All the focus needs to be on the top half of your body.

You want to accentuate your waist, which is why you should go for a supple fabric that

The Indira Dress for V-types

The V-type's centre of gravity is on the upper body – at the shoulders to be more precise. Balance your figure by shifting the focus to your narrower lower body.

The Indira dress’ shaped shoulders have a softening effect on the shoulders. What's more, the dress disguises your lack of waist and highlights your narrower lower body perfectly. All in all, the Indira looks smashing on inverted triangles.

Tip: go for a geometric print. They work great on your straight figure.

The Indira Dress for H- and I-types

Your figure is naturally well-balanced. Your shoulders and hips are more or less the same width. It’s just the waist that's missing. That is to say, you have a rectangular figure. Your challenge is either to conceal your lack of waist or create a waist to break up that rectangular shape.

The Indira dress gives you the freedom you need to do it. You can conceal your waist by wearing the dress loose or add a belt to create one. You could also wear the dress open over a pair of trousers. By playing with patterns and colours (light/dark, plain/print), you give your figure more visual appeal.

The loose sleeves add volume to the upper body, making your waist look smaller.

The straighter skirt piece definitely works for your figure because it follows your natural curves. To perfect your silhouette's proportions, make the skirt piece slightly wider. That will compensate for the added volume on the upper body.

Pick a fabric with a print, texture or eye-catching detail to add a little more playfulness to your figure. Fabrics with geometric shapes, checks or stripes are a go.
