Revelry is beloved for its inclusive sizing, customizable colors, and gorgeous silhouettes. But with so many styles to choose from, finding the perfect dress for your body type can feel a little overwhelming. Whether you’re shopping for a bridesmaid look, wedding guest attire, or something stunning for a formal event, understanding what flatters your shape can make all the difference. Here’s how to pick the Revelry dress that makes you look—and feel—your absolute best.
Understand Your Body Shape
Before diving into styles, take a moment to identify your body shape. While everyone is beautifully unique, most people fall into one of these categories:
- Hourglass: Balanced bust and hips with a defined waist
- Pear: Hips are wider than the shoulders
- Apple: Full bust and midsection, with slimmer legs
- Rectangle: Bust, waist, and hips are fairly uniform
- Inverted Triangle: Shoulders or bust are broader than the hips
Once you know your shape, you can start to explore which Revelry styles will highlight your best features.
For Hourglass Figures: Accentuate the Waist
You’ll want to look for styles that highlight your natural curves without overwhelming them.
Top picks:
- The Noelle Chiffon Dress with its cinched waist and V-neckline
- The Iris Convertible Dress, tied to emphasize your midsection
- The June Satin Gown, with a cowl neck and fluid skirt
A-line silhouettes and wrap dresses are your best friends. Don’t shy away from form-fitting styles, either—they’ll showcase your figure beautifully.
For Pear-Shaped Bodies: Balance the Silhouette
The goal here is to draw attention upward while skimming the hips.
Top picks:
- The Lily Off-Shoulder Dress, which draws the eye to your collarbones
- The Harper Chiffon Dress, with a structured bodice and flowy skirt
- The Mila Velvet Dress, with cap sleeves and a deep V neckline
A-line and empire waist styles will flow gracefully over your lower half, creating a balanced and flattering look.
For Apple-Shaped Bodies: Define the Waist and Elongate
Look for dresses that create the illusion of a waist and show off your legs or neckline.
Top picks:
- The Faye Velvet Wrap Dress, which defines your shape beautifully
- The Jade Satin Slip Dress, which drapes effortlessly without clinging
- The Sienna Midi Dress, offering a flattering hemline and open neckline
V-necks, wrap styles, and empire waists are great choices. Avoid heavy fabric around the midsection and opt for styles with subtle structure.
For Rectangle-Shaped Bodies: Create Curves
Your goal is to define your waist and add dimension to your silhouette.
Top picks:
- The Zoey Satin Dress, with its curve-enhancing fabric and slit
- The Iris Convertible Dress, which lets you play with shape
- The Clara Velvet Gown, which gives a strong, elegant shape
Look for ruffles, pleats, and cinched waists to give you shape and definition.
For Inverted Triangle Bodies: Soften the Upper Half
You’ll want to balance your proportions by softening the shoulders and adding volume to the lower body.
Top picks:
- The Gemma Chiffon Dress, with its floaty skirt and flutter sleeves
- The Daphne Sequin Gown, with a subtle mermaid silhouette
- The Harper Dress, with its structured skirt and delicate neckline
Avoid overly structured shoulders and opt for V-necks and A-lines to keep things visually balanced.
Don’t Forget About Fabric and Color
- Chiffon is lightweight, breathable, and flattering on most body types.
- Velvet adds luxurious depth, perfect for fall or winter weddings.
- Satin offers a sleek, modern look that’s great for formal occasions.
And since Revelry offers over 50 shades, you’re sure to find a hue that complements your skin tone and the overall wedding palette.
