Style advice for the Ulla Dress

The Ulla Dress for O-types

O-types really cry out for a more structured shoulder line. They shine in wide, deep necklines that make their shoulders look a little wider and stretch the upper body a little. Sadly, the Ulla dress fails this test. One option would be to knot ties at the shoulders, drawing attention upwards and adding a little more structure to the shoulders.

Some great alternatives for apples include the Ida, Franca, Elma and Gusta dresses.

The Ulla Dress for H- and I-types

The draped neckline adds more shape to your straight figure and creates the impression of a rounder, fuller bust. The A-line of this willowy and whimsical dress drapes beautifully over your body.

The ties give it that something extra. Tie them at the shoulders or on the back.

Chose a nice, playful print. Anything that gives you more body is a bonus!

The Ulla Dress for A-types

Pears should focus all the attention on the upper body and make sure the somewhat broader lower body remains as plain as possible. The dress drapes gently over the hips, disguising them a little along the way. The drape effect around the bust adds volume, but the lines that slant inwards make the shoulders look narrower. That’s exactly what pears don’t want.

Tie bows at the shoulders instead of on the back to give the top of your silhouette the extra volume it needs.

Pair with eye-catching earrings in a striking colour, such as the macramé Olga earrings.

The Ulla Dress for V-types

V-types look divine in halter dresses. The lines that slant inwards at the neck make the upper body and the shoulders look narrower. At the same time, the A-line cut creates the perfect counterbalance to the shoulders. The result is a silhouette with perfect proportions. The dress is lovely in knee, calf, and ankle-length versions.

Select a fabric with a fluid drape.

The Ulla 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 opt for clothing that follows your body's natural curves and always highlights your waist.

The Ulla dress very subtly turns in just under the bust and then falls in an A-line. That’s a drag for neat and full hourglasses since it disguises the narrow waistline. You can remedy that with a narrow, pretty belt, for example, a braided belt, that you can tighten at the waist.

Choose a fabric with a fluid drape that hugs your curves, and either make the dress knee length or calf length.
