So there are two parts to address in this question, one is body shapes and the other is dress styles.

What are the different body shapes?
Hourglass
This shape includes a full bust and full hips paired with a defined waist.
Dressing for this body shape is fairly straightforward. Most Dress styles work well with this body type.
Triangle or Pear Shape
This body shape has broader hips than shoulders and as the definition suggests, creates a more triangular or pear shape.
Round
This body type has both a full bust and hips without waist definition.
Inverted triangle
This body type has broader shoulders with smaller hips.
Rectangle
This body shape has fairly straight up and down proportions on the sides with very little waist definition.
