Every year, every season, new trends keep emerging and there is a rat race to follow the trend to look hip. We all want to look happening and fashionable, but the question to be pondered upon remains ? how good do we look in this particular trend?? and how many of us have really cared to know this? May be coz everyone is busy talking just about the trend but no one talks about ?For whom does it work and for whom it doesn't!? We buy something Paris Hilton was spotted in just to realize that ?Oh! Why am I not looking that trendy?? and the answer is simple, we all are individuals with different body types and we all have a style of our own. The focus should be on maintaining and highlighting our uniqueness even when we are following trends. And c'mon, out of so many trends, we always have at least one to bank upon!

While the world is going gaga over dresses, with empire line dresses, empire bra dresses, easy jersey knit longer sleeve dresses, waistline enhancing frocks, or simple waistline skimming sixties style shifts and dropped waist shift dresses in the queue. You need to decide which one is right for you. While dresses with empire waist are a good option for women with a big bottom as the flowing fabric falls loosely over the bottom, it also flatters women with short legs or long waist as the empire waistline shortens the waist and lengthens the legs. But those with a short waist and longer legs should opt for dropped waist styles instead, to balance out the waist and legs. All those with fuller bust can also define the bustline with empire dresses and it?s a great way to camouflage tummy, if you have one. While dropped style is a no-no if you really have a tummy as it will only highlight the tummy, but is good for short waisted women.

Kimono dresses have an empire style and are belted at the waist which helps to give illusion of slimmer waist so they are in the same line as empire dresses.

Wrap dress works wonderfully well for curvy women as it follows the body curves smoothly while its an equally wonderful option for women craving for a skimmed waist. Overall, wraps work for almost everyone as all women want to look curvy and wraps emphasize curves.
