When shopping for a little black dress, keep your body type in mind. If you have an hourglass figure, put an emphasis on your waist with a slim belt. For pear-shaped women, choose a halter dress with a slight A-line silhouette that doesn’t hug your hips and thighs. Wedge-shaped figures should select an LBD with a flared skirt to balance out broad shoulders. For apple-shaped women who are carrying a little extra weight in the middle, pick a little black dress with a ruffled hemline to draw the eye down and away from the midsection.
