 Sheath dress
No wardrobe would be complete with out a sheath dress. Generally the plain styling and sliming effect makes these dresses flattering to any well proportioned figures and they are also very versatile making them suitable for any event.
 
This style of dress has very clean lines keeping the dress from overwhelming your natural figure. These clean lines can be dressed up with jewellery of your choice.
 
The sheath dress is a very sexy style dress so keep accessories very glamorous with strappy metallic sandals.

 Cocktail Dresses
Although the little black dress is one of our all time greats and can be worn to any event, it is now being taken over by the more heavily embellished designs.
 
Sequins and bugle beads add all that important sparkle and eliminate the need for heavy jewellery.
 
If you still favour your little black dress you can recreate this look for a small cost. This can be achieved by dressing up your classic little black cocktail dress with the right accessories.
 
The black gives you a blank canvas allowing you to be a designer adding your favourite colour gems and jewellery.

 Halter Dresses
The best way to attract attention to your neck, shoulders and face is to frame them with the neck detail of a halter neck dress.
 
Most celebrities chose this style dress because of the sexy, glamorous effect it creates on the red carpet.
 
Pick a style with scattered sequins and beads around the neck as this will do away with the need for any necklaces which may look overdressed.
 
These styles of formal prom dresses are perfect for drawing attention away from your hips and thighs just be careful and stay away from styles that have embellishments or extra details around your hip area.

 Ball Gowns
The traditional ball gown is a very good choice for formal events and with its ability to hide the lower figure problems it has become one of the favourite choices for any body type.
 
Most of these styles of dresses are strapless and show off a lot of shoulder. If you don’t like the idea of this, then there are halter neck versions available which are more flattering and give a sexier look.
 
These ball gowns are normally very heavily embellished with sequins and beads. This can be a hard look to carry off so when you are choosing your dress take care not to pick a dress with embellishment around body areas that you do not want to draw attention to.
 
Strapless dresses are excellent for showing off some luxury jewels but don’t match your jewellery this can look very over the top and can ruin the whole look.

  Hi-Low
If you legs are your key feature and you want to draw attention to them then go for the sexy hi-low hemline.
 
This style of dress is a favourite with the celebrities and can add height to a shorter figure. If your legs need that extra care and your not comfortable going bare then try some super-sheer hose or leg make up.
 
For an even sexy style choose formal prom dresses with a filly edging that gathers around your legs and a long train which glides behind you.
