How to Find the Best Sundress for Your Body Type

Not sure what style of sundress will flatter your particular body type? Keep reading to find out which dresses will make you look— and feel — your best.

Shift Dress: With a silhouette that falls straight from your shoulders without nipping in at the waist, the straight lines and slightly looser fit of a shift give it a flow that makes it ideal for apple-shaped body types. If you have a wide torso, broad shoulders, and a full bust, with thinner legs, arms, and hips, a shift dress will look great on you!
Sheath Dress: One of the most elegant sundress options is the sheath. Much like a shift, it features long lines to help elongate the body, but sheath dresses accentuate the midsection and are more form-fitting than a shift dress. They look best on hourglass or heart-shaped body types, as this cut highlights curves.
Wrap Dress: You can never go wrong with a good wrap dress. This iconic design first hit the market in 1974 courtesy of Diane Von Furstenberg's innovative mind. Made to define the waist and enhance your natural curves, it's one of the best sundresses for hourglass, boxy, heart, and pear-shaped body types. In fact, it's widely regarded as the most flattering dress cut around, since the style works on practically everyone.
Fit-and-Flare Dress: Like its cousin, the wrap dress, fit-and-flare sundresses feature a nearly universally-flattering cut. With a cinched waist and a flared skirt to play up curvier body types, these dresses lend illusion of an hourglass shape to anyone who wears one.

Sundresses in all of the above cuts come in a vast array of different materials, colors, and fabrics, making them suitable for nearly any occasion. Whether you want to stay cool but still look professional at work, or just throw a casual summer dress over your bathing suit, we've got you covered.

Polka dots are a fun and flirty pattern, and you'll instantly feel like having a good time once you put this frock on. It's long but shorter in the front to show off your footwear, and has lots of movement. Made of rayon with a bit of spandex, you'll be nice and breezy the entire day. Although we'd wear this on a regular afternoon, the dress would also work for a daytime party or date. Sizes go up to extra-large, and it comes in a dozen different colors and prints.

This lightweight dress is super-soft and super stylish! The floral watercolor print is so sweet, and you truly can dress this one up or down depending how you accessorize. Wear it with sneakers, heels, or flip-flops — but read the reviews before you decide which size to order, as many customers recommend sizing down. We love the whimsical bell sleeves, which are flirty, feminine, and provide the perfect amount of arm coverage.

Happy customer: "I wore this dress for my dad's beach wedding and received SO many compliments. Not only is it extremely lightweight, but it's very flattering. I usually wear a L or XL in dresses, and ordered a Large in this, which was perfect for my body shape. I will buy this in more colors for sure!"
