How to judge this would be if your body is straight and slender, has few or no curves, and your bust is average in size. Your height is 5' 6" or taller. If you fit into the tall and thin category, you'll want to buy a sexy dress style that adds curves, shows off your long legs, a dress that flows gracefully to reveal your slim silhouette, and adds fullness to your chest. Also consider the effect of different necklines, such as v-neck or an open neckline to see which looks best. Also you can be a bit risky but definitely sexy to try a dress with a cutout back.

Perhaps you fit into the petite category which would be if you are 5' 3" or shorter with a small build and an average sized bust, you'll want a dress to complement the petite such as an empire, sheath or a-line style. If you choose one with a slit, you can make your legs appear longer. Or, you can look much taller by wearing a dress with a short hemline. The hemline might be ruffled, handkerchief, hi/low, or asymmetrical - whichever best suits you. Your neckline could be sweetheart, halter, or v-shape to make the best out of a cute petite figure.

Or have you a womanly hourglass shape, which means you are curvy with a medium-to-large sized bust. Your bottom is rounded and you have curvy hips. Enjoying showing off your curves with a sheath dress or de-emphasize them somewhat with an a-line dress. Or place more emphasis on the upper portion of your body, choose a dress with an embellished neckline.

If you have a pear shape, you are more than likely bottom-heavy, meaning that your hips, thighs, and bottom are larger than the upper portion of your body. Choose sexy dresses that flatter the upper half of your body such as a-line, empire, or ball gown dresses with a circular halter neckline. Or, a strapless dress might do the trick. Essentially you want to show up the upper part more to attain a more balanced look.

If your body has the apple-shape, your mid-section is a little heavier or thicker than other parts of your body. Maybe your tummy is larger than you would like but don't worry as again this is sexy to some. Choose dresses that take the emphasis away from your mid-section. A-line dresses can work well too if you have a bodice with boning to give it a slimming effect.

You athletic looking ladies amongst us should choose dresses that are sweet and feminine, this way with fit looking bodies you will look great. But if you choose something too plain, it is not so easy to look sexy then. Just accept your look and use these guidelines and you are sure to find lots of choice online with some great value also.
