Homecoming Dress Solutions for Each Body Type

Top Heavy Body Shape:
Bringing attention to the bottom half of your body is a must with this body type! Look for dresses that are shaped but not too tight. Avoid homecoming dresses in pastel colors and dresses with ruffles on the top. The skirt should be fitted at the top and flare out at the bottom and always avoid high-waisted skirts.
