I bought one of the grey bodycon dress from one of the famous blogshop for my company Dinner and Dance last year. When I was ready to leave the house, my aunt commented that I look like a hippopotamus. After the huge horror, I dashed back into the room and change into an old brown toga dress. I forgot to change the shade of my eyeshadows as Apple was already waiting for me at my void deck, thankfully the colour was acceptable at that night (even if it didn't, it was already over!).
I have quite a big butt, large in surface but it is not perky enough. I would say it is rather flat.
It was not my first bodycon dress anyway. I bought something similar from Forever 21 for 2010 D&D but it was a black bottom, hence I guess it still look rather alright for me.
The grey dress seems to have emphasize too much on my bottom, so after that incident I try to avoid any tight fitting dresses.
I was surfing the net and stumbled across the tips to wear.
General Body-Con Tips:
- Don’t be afraid! The thought of tight, figure-hugging clothing probably inspires fear in the majority of women, but it shouldn’t! Most body-con pieces are actually pretty flattering, due to the fact that they suck you in, smoothing out your shape. Still self-conscious? Try wearing Spanx (Jessica Alba swears by ‘em) or even high-waisted sheer footless tights under anything you feel is too tight or short.
- Spend money on Spanx? It would not be worth it as I am not required to dress formal even for my work.
- Play with proportions. As I’ve stressed in previous articles, if you’re wearing a tight item of clothing, it’s a good rule to balance it out with an item that’s not as form fitting. Wearing a tight skirt? Try a colorful, loose-fitting tank tank top for balance.
- Alright, note to myself.
- Choose what to showcase. Sure, a tight bandage dress is a great option for a night at the club, but it’s not for every day! For normal wear, it’s best to decide what assets to flaunt and cover the rest! Example: if you’re wearing tight, high-waisted jeans, put on a short sleeved turtleneck! That way, you flaunt your legs and butt, but keep the cleavage under wraps for a classy look.
- no cleavage, no sexy legs. in addition, wearing tight skirt always needs me to adjust it every now and then. Next please.
- Go dark. Because these styles are so form fitting, it’s best to opt for a dark color if you’re feeling at all shy about showing your shape. Black, dark gray, brown, navy, and even deep purples and reds are all great color choices for body-con pieces.
- Yes, that was why the black dress suited me.
- Pick your pairings wisely. What you wear with your body-con is almost as important as the body-con item itself! For city chic looks, pair body-con dresses with bombers, boyfriend blazers, or jean jackets. If you’re doing the body-con thing in the AM (or any in-class hours!) choose conservative shoes–think ballet flats or boots. Even your accessories can provide some needed coverage, so go ahead and pull out your scarf from last fall! It’s all about striking a balance between showing off your hot bod and keeping it classy.
- too much information to absorb.
No more bodycon dress this season anyway, meanwhile I am going to stick the simple A-line or flare design, unless my butt and legs grow thinner?
