Which bohemian dress for which body shape? Our tips to enhance your silhouette

The bohemian dresses are synonymous with freedom, lightness, and femininity. But for a bohemian dress to truly enhance you, it is essential to choose a model suited to your shape. Whether you are A, H, O, X, or V, there is a perfect bohemian dress for you. Here are our tips for finding the dress that will enhance your silhouette while keeping that bohemian spirit we love so much.

A shape: hips wider than shoulders

Goal: balance the silhouette by emphasizing the upper body.

Dresses suitable for this shape are:

  • Dresses with puff sleeves or ruffles on the shoulders

  • V or square necklines

  • Empire or flared cuts to blur the hips

Tip: opt for a flowy printed dress, with a structured or decorated top, to draw the eye upward.

Our dresses for A shapes:

H shape: shoulders and hips aligned, little defined waist

Goal: create an illusion of a defined waist and add curve.

Recommended bohemian dresses are:

  • Dresses cinched at the waist

  • Wrap or crossover dresses

  • Models with bohemian patterns or prints

Tip: choose lightweight fabrics that give movement, and don't hesitate to add a thin belt to structure the silhouette.

Our dresses for H shapes:

Morphology O: generous shapes, little defined waist, pronounced bust

Goal: elongate the silhouette and harmonize the volumes.

Ideal dresses are:

  • Long and flowing dresses

  • V necklines that elongate the bust

  • Soft materials like chiffon or fluid cotton

Tip: favor small prints or solid colors, and avoid tight cuts that emphasize areas you wish to blur.

X body shape: defined waist, balanced shoulders and hips

Goal: highlight the natural silhouette.

All cuts suit you:

  • Fitted dresses

  • Wrap dresses

  • Short or long dresses according to your preference

Tip: have fun with bohemian prints, embroidery, lace, and natural textures.

V body shape: shoulders wider than hips

Goal: soften the upper body and balance the silhouette.

Recommended models are:

  • Dresses with flared skirts or ruffles

  • Round or asymmetrical necklines

  • Strapless or thin-strapped dresses

Tip: favor dresses with details or patterns at the bottom to draw the eye down the body
