What dress would look best with my shape?

Question

I'm looking for a dress for vacation and I've found a few options. Actually a whole lot of options, so now I'm trying to minimize my selection down to the best ones. I've found a wide variety of style so now I need to know which type of dresses would look good on me.

I'm 5'7".
Have no boobs whatsoever. Im a 34A but I barely fill out the cups. lol
24 inch waist
35 1/2 inch hips
I definitely have a butt, but its not huge by any means. Just noticeable.

What colors would help make me look taller. What lengths? Anything to narrow down my choices? Etc. Thanks!

Thanks for all of the answers so far. I want to clear one thing up- I know that I don't need to look any taller. I just want to. lol

Answer 1

youre already tall so you dont need to look any taller. to help add to the appearance of your bust but not look trashy i would go with a dress that has either a tie or some sort of adornment under the bust. i use that trick al the time. lol/. hope this helped and good luck ^_^

Answer 2

Do not wear a lot of tube tops, this will make your chest look smaller. If you want to look taller, black is a slimming colour and the thinner you look the taller you'll look. Don't wear anything the length between the knee and the floor. If you're self conscious of your breasts, play up another area of your body to draw focus to your hips or face. Avoid busy necklaces. Try finding a nice red dress, haulter style (will make your breasts look a little fuller, and you can adjust the size for any size of chest really), that flows nicely. Accent it with sparkly, diamond like sandals and earrings (chandalier, not too big) or a few of those hair spirals that sparkle. Or if you really want to feel like you're on vacation, put a nice flower in your hair that accents your dress (usually flowers on your bed in your hotel). Hope you have a good trip. And don't worry too much, you'll spend 90% of your time in a bathing suit! :)

Answer 3

Ann Taylor Loft seems like the solution for you! They have several bright, vibrant colors that would make you seem taller.

Of course this depends on your hair color. If you have red hair, you might need colors of green, black, or white. Any other color, color won't matter-but you want to stay way from designs that are horizontal. These types will make you look wider rather than taller. Stick with plain designs that are vertical or no design at all.

Other good places may be: Anthropologie, J.Crew, and GAP

Cheers & good luck!

Answer 4

Well I am also small in the chest area and definitely have a butt also;) haha
I have found that an hourglass shape, off the shoulder dress work the best for this. Dont worry they make them small up top and all you have to do is wear a strapless bra.
remember you are not alone;)
good luck!

Answer 5

I think an empire cut would look cute on you. Best thing to do is just go to the store and try a bunch of dressed on!

Answer 6

idk a color woudl make you look taller, but you are already tall, and dont need to look taller.
since you have a small chest, you can wear dresses with a low neck (and you wont look trashy), or alot of detail and design on the bust.
and to balance you top half and bottom half, i think a dress with an a-line skirt would work the best.....let me check to see

ok, with tall people, knee length skirts and dresses are actaully the most flattering, and i cant tell how long this dress is, but the neck line is what im talking about:
