Inverted Triangle Dresses

A figure similar to an inverted triangle is classified as disproportionate, so its owners should choose their clothes very carefully. In particular, when choosing a dress with a similar physique, it is worth looking out for models that will focus on the lower body. In such outfits, the silhouette will be aligned.

The inverted triangle body type, also called the V-silhouette, is distinguished by the presence of:

• Broad shoulders;
• Pretty lush breasts;
• Narrow hips;
• Slender or even thin legs;
• Thin waist;
• Unexpressed buttocks;
• Slight difference between waist and hips.

A V-type figure is noted for:

• Madonna;
• Charlize Theron;
• Sigourney Weaver;
• Angelina Jolie;
• Naomi Campbell;
• Demmy Moor;
• Cher;
• Anna Kournikova;
• Yana Klochkova;
• Teri Hatcher;
• Nastya Volochkova.

First of all, with a figure that resembles an inverted triangle, you should pay attention to dresses in which the skirt is represented by the following styles:

• Half sun
• Trapezoid
• Pleated
• The sun
• Tulip

The above styles will add volume to the bottom of the figure, aligning it with the shoulders. Dresses in the Greek style look very impressive on girls with a similar body type. They flow smoothly over the figure, hiding flaws. At the same time, the length of the dress is selected to your liking, since both in a long and in a short outfit of this style, a broad-shouldered girl will look attractive.

When choosing an evening dress for a girl with an inverted triangle figure, corset dresses with a princess skirt are often preferred.Such a skirt diverges downward and creates the desired volume in the hips.

Overly tight hips can also be hidden by choosing an outfit with a straight fit. In this case, the dress should not be tight-fitting, but slightly loose. Another successful model for this type of figure is a dress with a peplum, which should be voluminous and located slightly below the waist.

• For this type of figure, buy dresses made of soft, flowing and easily draped materials.
• When choosing a neckline for a dress, it is better to focus on styles that will visually narrow the shoulders, for example, a deep scoop neckline, a V-shaped neckline, or an American armhole. The rectangular neckline, as well as the boat neckline and models with thin straps should be discarded.
• If a girl with an inverted triangle figure wants a dress with sleeves, long sleeves and three-quarter lengths are the best choice. In a dress with short sleeves, wide shoulders will be even more pronounced.
• You can also visually make a figure of this type proportional using color schemes. For example, the top of the outfit may be darker than the bottom. Prints on the skirt, for example, with diagonal and horizontal stripes, large checks and elongated patterns, would be a good choice.
• Avoid designs with bows, pockets, flounces and other large decorative details in the chest and shoulders.
