Looking for an outfit is one of the most exciting things you have to do for your Debut preparations. The most important things usually considered in looking for the perfect 18th birthday dress are the color, style, price, and of course, the fit. But sometimes, no matter how perfect the dress fits, it will still look awkward or unflattering if it does not match your body type well.
Thank goodness for style tips from designers, we now know better! Let this guide help you know what to look for in a debut outfit to make you look your best on your very special day.
1. Drop Waist
This cut is perfect for straight bodies. It elongates a short torso and nips the waistline. The Drop Waist has a feminine shape, adding curve to thick waists.
2. Two-Piece
This style is the most versatile, taking you to your debut party and beyond. Pair the skirt with a tank top and go to a friend’s debut. Wear the top with black pants and you are ready for cocktails!
3. Asymmetric
If you have a flair for drama, this style is ideal for you! The neckline flatters broad shoulders while the hem lengthens a petite and full frame.

For skinny frames, this ballgown is a great outfit because it adds volume to your body. The thickness of its petticoat can be adjusted according to how much volume you need.

Minimalist and modern, this simple style best suits slender bodies.
6. A-Line
Elegant and sculptural in its simplicity, it’s foolproof in bringing wide hips, a full figure, heavy thighs and a petite frame back into proportion.

A tricky cut as it clings onto every curve. It’s sexy on toned bodies, hourglass figures and adds shape to lean women.
