Those five Clothes Are Flattering Whether or not You are a Dimension eight or a Dimension 18

Although you might think there isn't one dress that suits every single body type, there are a number of styles that look good on every figure, whether you're a size 6 or a size 16. We all know that black is considered to be the most forgiving colour, but that doesn't mean you don't have to stick to it. Keep scrolling to see our guide to the five dresses that always celebrate your shape.

This one is obvious—a belt draws attention to your waist and always makes for a nice silhouette.

If you're slightly bigger busted with hips (lucky you), then a wrap dress is your best friend. Semi-fitted styles that softly follow your curves and show off your waistline will look super flattering.

This beautiful velvet number will look super chic at festive drinks, plus it's flattering and comfortable. Win. Pair with satin mules or pumps for extra bonus points.

Wear with killer heels and a faux-fur jacket for a serious statement.

Shine bright like a diamond in this party-ready wrap dress.

Smaller busted with a tiny frame? Try searching out an empire, something slightly fitted and strapless, like Alexa.

Isn't the colour of this dress just great?! Wear with statement earrings as styled to accentuate those collarbones.

A lesson in minimal effort for maximum impact.

The flattering strapless neckline on this dress is perfect for showcasing a statement necklace or earrings.

If you're a shorter pocket rocket like Reese, look for fitted shapes, shirtdresses or a wrap that will accentuate your figure without overwhelming it. We know Christmas is a time for getting glammed up, but try to steer away from too much embellishment and full skirts.

Mouret is the king of fit, and this structured red piece will last a lifetime, and it will be a real fail-safe when it comes to party season.

With pretty lace detailing, this shift dress will hide all kinds of things, whilst highlighting your best bits. Wear from work to dinner.

An immaculately cut, delicately printed dress, you'll find this quickly becoming a go-to.

Okay, legs eleven, you're up. Belted styles that add curves will help balance out that boyish frame. Not fussed about an hourglass? A-lines and shifts will look just as good.

This chic piece is detailed with luxe gold-tone embroideries. Perfect for heels and ankle boots, the velvet texture will skim your figure.

Cinched at the waist to create a classic silhouette, this beautiful floral maxi will be a real showstopper.

We love this printed, belted midi dress. Layer with a roll-neck and over-the-knee boots for day, and change into heels for dinner and dancing.

Party dressing when you're pregnant can be a tricky one. Take inspiration from one half of We Are Twinset, Philippa, who is possibly the most stylish pregnant lady we've ever seen. Look for empire lines, shifts or dresses that have a matching jacket. Try to stay away from open necklines.

With its 3/4-length sleeves, belted waist and flared skirt, this is the perfect piece for balancing everything out. We love the rich burgundy colour too. Wear with snakeskin ankle boots or golden heels.

Channel the '60s look with this dress, teaming it with over-the-knee boots for an easy, chic look.

We're starry eyed for this star-print shift. Layer with a knit for the office or the weekend, and pair with heels for evenings. Up next are the best holiday dresses to make your next getaway even chicer. Opening Image: Style du Monde

An A-line skirt makes your waist look much more defined. You only need a subtle flare to see the cinching effect.

The wrap dress is perhaps one the most popular dress type out there—and in 2018, no two wrap dresses look the same. From the knit ribbed Arket midi to Ganni's floral wrap maxis, they really do suit all body types.

Midi tea dresses have been a hit this summer, and the good thing about this trend is that it's really flattering—thanks to the capped sleeves, button-down front and midi length.

There's a reason black has always been considered the most "flattering" colour—it always looks streamlined.
