For women who want to continue to look feminine and sexy in dresses as the weather grows cooler, it's possible, regardless of your body type or those body parts that you'd rather hide. It's easy for all body types to wear the styles of the fall and winter. Here are a few tips on choosing the best dress for your body. To hide a tummy, forget all the confining, pinching shapewear and go for camouflage instead. Avoid super clingy or really shiny materials that will highlight every bulge; instead, go for an empire waist, which will lengthen the torso. A hot trend this season is to pair feminine dresses with thin, sleek belts, which draw the eye up and away from a tummy. If hips seem to be the problem, go for a generously cut bottom or flared bottom with a fitted top. Add proportion by implementing the poufy sleeve trend or sporting dolman sleeves.

Give the waist some structure to pull the eye up by adding a belt or sash. The structured styles of the season look great on plus-sized women. Look for a defined waist and be sure to get the size that fits you best - fit is key when wearing a structured shift dress. You don't want it gapping in some places and too tight in others. For petite women, fitted cuts create an hourglass figure and don't overwhelm a small frame, as generously cut skirts and flouncy styles might. Try a feminine cut with ruffles that run vertically to create the illusion of height. Add warmth to any style with cozy tights and boots to top off the look.
