Every woman has this one bodycon dress she keeps dreaming about, whether it is a piece straight from the collection of her favorite high fashion designer, or something she spotted in a shop last week. But bodycon women dresses are difficult to pull off for most women. First comes the issue of the fit – how to make that dress look good if your figure is a bit bulky here and there?

Figuring out the perfect fit
Not all bodycon fashionable dresses are as figure-hugging as you think. Many models are tailored in a way that provides good support for your figure and accentuates some parts of your body while keeping it loose in other areas. Try the dress on before you make any decisions. Remember that with bodycon dresses you really have to follow your size. If you buy a dress a size or two smaller than what you should be wearing it will not look good on you, no matter what you do. If after trying the dress out you realize that a few inches less in certain sections would improve the overall look you can probably achieve that with a shape improving underwear.
You can find special lingerie to wear on all problematic parts of your body, such as hips, midsections or bust. The results can be stunning and good quality underwear should fit you like a glove and be completely invisible even when you put a bodycon dress on. If you still feel that the final effect could be better try a color blocking bodycon dress. The color blocking technique can be used to create optical tricks – make your body appear slimmer than it actually is by playing with the right colors and lines in right places.
Styled to perfection
Unless this is what you are really doing right now, you probably do not want to look in your bodycon dress as if you have just stepped out of a club. For all other occasions the most flashy dresses need to be toned down with a jacket or a cardigan. To keep it modern and urban combine the dress with oversized sweater, a bomber or boyfriend jacket. If the dress is very short wear it with leggings instead of tights. One of the things, which really make the dress look less expensive is too much styling.

Keep all your accessories very simple and let the dress be the focal point. Wear it with a pair of flats or sneakers to make it look more casual and young. If you cannot imagine sporting a dress without high heels on you can pair your bodycon dress with pumps, but medium heels only, no more than two inches. Use none or just a one piece of very subtle jewelry. Better choose very natural shades for your make-up and simple hairdo to complete your look. You look stunning!
