Yes… or almost! There are too many choices of strapless dresses not to find yours. The only real pitfall comes from the bustier itself, offering too little support for the most generous breasts. In which case, you will have to look for suitable lingerie, which may not be enough... It's all about comfort and sensations. If you don't feel supported by the dress, it's better to bet on straps, even thin ones, than to weaken your chest by betting on the bustier!
The A-line silhouette has shoulders that are narrower than the hips. If this is your case, the strapless dress will perfectly highlight your delicate shoulders! Favor, on the other hand, decorative details or strong colors on the bustier, as well as the cutouts under the chest, to divert attention from the hips. Also avoid heavy fabrics and pleats that create excess fabric on the hips:prefer a straight or slightly flared cut.
The V-shaped silhouette shows hips narrower than the shoulders. Should we therefore flee the bustier? No, except for a particular complex! Choose a bustier dress with crossover or draped effects at the top, which will highlight your chest. Complete with pleated, peplum or gathered bottoms to rebalance the hips.
The X, 8 or hourglass silhouette is the best ally of the strapless dress! Glamor par excellence, the bustier sublimates curves and shapes, all that remains is to choose the right one. Do not skip quality lingerie if you have a generous chest, and prefer heart-shaped or draped bustiers to emphasize it without crushing it. For a retro style, bet on a knee-length pencil dress.
No, an O silhouette does not prohibit the strapless dress! Assume your curves and bet on a bustier offering good support, rather long and straight in shape. Simply belt the waist and make the dress blouse, the roundness of the shoulders is sublimated and any complexes concealed. The little extra? Wedge shoes to lengthen the silhouette.
No, the strapless dress is not prohibited for androgynous silhouettes either! Look for a structured model, quite simply, which will create shapes if you feel you lack them:basque, draped, pleated or large bow... Choose a short dress and a marked waist, the material effects are enough to create volume. And if you dream of femininity, accentuate the effect with lace or floral prints!
