Your athletic shape is model worthy; still, even though stunning supermodels such as Agyness Deyn share your shape and size, you may find it difficult to find the little white dress you want. Your body is amazing to dress, and clothes naturally suit you. But for ladies with athletic shapes, the challenges are playing down broad shoulders and adding curves to their straight figures.

Short and Fitted

Short, fitted styles emphasize all the features that make your body look awesome. A fitted style shows your neat figure and enhances understated curves. The short length shows off the long, slim legs that usually come with this figure. Wear your short, fitted little white dress with heels to a party or club for a sassy, fun look.

Empire Line

Empire-line dresses add definition to your middle, and width to your hips. With this, the dress automatically creates curves round the hips and bust. The point of this dress is to play up your curvy, feminine features. An empire line also draws the eye upward, and brings focus to your face.

A-Line

A-line dresses help define your waist and put your straight figure into proportion. An A-line little white dress' natural flare adds volume to the hips. This emphasizes curves. A short A-line dress will have you looking cute and feminine.

Belted

Belted dresses are all about narrowing the waist. Athletic shapes might appear to have thicker waists or less curvy hips and bust, so belted is a good strategy, including for the perfect little white dress. This style will evoke a '50s look and enhance those feminine curves, too. Make the belt a skinny one -- too big and it will overpower your waist and make it appear chunky.
