Flatter Your
Figure

he goal of every bride is to
look her best on her wed-
ding day. Cindy Rose, fash-
ion director for Vogue
Butterick Patterns, says there are three
main figure types.
For the first, visualize a triangle, the
apex at the top. In this figure, the hips
measure more than 10 inches larger
than the bust. Choose a dress which
builds up the shoulders and sleeves
and enhances the narrow waist, but
has a full skirt to minimize the large
hips. The bottom heavy figure is com-
plemented by a ballgown skirt and a
Basque waist, and pouf sleeves.
A top heavy figure (roughly de-
scribed by an inverted triangle), the
second type, is flattered by a straight-
line sheath without a clearly defined
waist. Choose a columnar dress, pro-
viding fullness through the train.
The third figure type is a slender
rectangle. This figure type .is often
characterized by a boyish figure with
a flat bust, narrow hips and no discern-
ible waist.
Choose a dropwaist dress whose
deep V creates a Nvaistline where none
really exists. Another attractive option
is a dress with a peplum. I 1
