Dressing for your shape is not about rules, it is about knowing which cuts feel best so you can shop faster and wear things with confidence. Here is a simple plus size guide to dresses by body shape. Every style is in our plus size dresses edit.
Apple shape
If you carry weight around the middle, an empire line or a wrap dress that defines the waist and skims the tummy works beautifully. A V-neck lengthens the upper body. Read our full apple body shape guide for more.
Hourglass shape
Play to a defined waist with wrap and belted styles that follow your curves rather than hiding them. Our hourglass guide goes deeper.
Pear shape
Draw the eye up with detail on the neckline and shoulders, and choose an A-line or fuller skirt that moves easily over the hips.
Fuller bust
A V or scoop neckline and a defined waist give a fuller bust room and balance. Add support underneath and the whole dress sits better.
Getting the size right
Whatever your shape, fit comes first - if you are between sizes, size up. Our range runs to an Australian size 34; the size chart has exact measurements.
