In choosing a bodycon dress no matter your body shape, always choose to highlight your best assets whether it`s your waist, arms, long legs, or collarbone, and use accessories to balance some of your body parts.

If your upper body part is heavier, you can add more volume to your lower body part to balance the image of your body proportions.
