Empire Silhoutte Cuts
The Empire Silhouette Cut is a type of dress that features a cut right below the bust area, which creates a high-waisted style. This type of cut has the characteristics of romantic, flowy, and sexy at the same time.
The cuts below the bust line have a slimming, elongating effect, which is particularly flattering for pear-shaped women or those wishing to distract attention from the stomach area and emphasize the bust area.

Bias Cuts
Speaking of bias cut, we all remember how stunning the Alexander McQueen silky gown worn by Pippa Middleton at the Royal Wedding was a couple of years ago. This style has a diagonal angle cut that highlights the lines and contours of your body, which makes this cut work best for the curvy body type.
With the weaves and drapes combined with the perfect fabric, this would definitely create a flowy, effortlessly-chic wedding dress.
Halter cut
From bikinis, to casual tops, to more formal gowns, Halter Cut is extremely popular and has been around for a long time.
The straps that run from the front portion of the garment around the back of the neck, leaving the upper back uncovered, highlight not only the bust area, but also the shoulders. It gives elegance and sexiness to the wearer, which is suitable for those who have wide shoulders or a medium to full bust.
Shift Cut
In the 1920s, Shift Cut gained popularity because young girls demanded a dress style that was easier to dance and move with, changing the era of corset design, which restricts their movement.
Typically, this type of cut is simple, hangs straight from the shoulders. Shit cut dresses are usually sleeveless, and is above the knee length. As it doesn’t have a fitted cut, it tends to work best for people with a rectangle body shape.
Conclusion
The real take out on this is not that if a dress isn’t suitable or doesn’t look the way you thought it would be. Neither is it because you don’t have an "ideal" body. It is simply because you need to understand your body and find the style that works for you, and which body part that you can highlight in your outfit.
