Remember, the most important thing is for you to feel comfortable in whatever dress you choose, no matter what your body shape!
But if you want a bit of a steer in the right direction, read on to find out what dress is the perfect option for you!
Dresses for Petite Girls
Fishtail-style dresses are the perfect choice for petite girls! They pull you in at the waist and flow out into bold, dramatic fishtail ruffles at the bottom. If you’re small and just a little bit sassy, a fishtail dress is the perfect opportunity for you to strut your stuff with its complimenting and eye-catching style! It focuses on defining your body shape whilst adding fun fishtail ruffles which are nothing short of drama and flair!
Our Belle dress is the perfect fishtail option from our RCR Exclusives Collection, which are designed in-house and are not sold anywhere else in the UK.
For petite girls wanting a ballgown for prom, our Sky ballgown is a great option. A ruffle ballgown sinches you in at the waist while providing a ballgown silhouette without drowning you in a big, long skirt.
Corset backs are a great option for all sizes including petite, as they pull you in and give you that perfect hourglass figure. Our Kiera dress is in high demand by people of all shapes and sizes due to its simple but stunning style.
If you’re petite, you will likely need an alteration of some kind – this is to be expected in the world of prom dresses! Any good seamstresses enable you to choose from any dress, making any suitable alterations that you need.
Dresses for Plus-Size Girls
Ballgowns are also a great choice for any girl, looking stunning in all shapes and sizes. But a ballgown is a great option for plus-size girls who want to feel both secure and beautiful in whatever dress they choose.
Our Blair and Harper dresses are absolute winners and the perfect ballgown options if you want the full princess look! Both of these dresses lace up at the back to give you a form-fitting bodice and have long ruffled skirts to give you a dramatic skirt that is bound to stand out at prom.
If ballgowns aren’t your thing, a fishtail gown with a flared skirt at the bottom, like our Hilton dress, is the perfect choice! This dress adds a little extra glamour to the fishtail look, with its zip coming right up to the top if you want to feel secure.
Dresses for Hourglass Figures
If you have an hourglass figure, a small fishtail with a dainty, detailed corset is a stunning choice.
We highly recommend our Lola dress from our RCR Exclusives Collection. It is really secure in the bust area due to its corset back. It starts with a flattering V-shape, and sits just above the waist, helping any girl to feel both beautiful and comfortable at prom.
Dresses for Smaller Busts
We sell to thousands of customers of all body shapes, so if you’ve got a small bust then it’s not a problem! Taking your dress to a seamstress to be altered allows you to choose from any dress and they can enhance the bustline for you.
However, if you would prefer to feel more secure, then a lace-up back is the perfect choice for you.
Our Arabella and Kaylen dresses are beautiful lace-up dresses, both with secure backs and a silhouette that defines your waist.
Dresses for Bigger Busts
Our Scarlett dress is a popular option for bigger busts.
Whilst our Scarlett dress has a Low-V neck, you can get the length altered with us so that you are securely tucked in whilst being sure to turn heads!
And again, getting your dress altered by a seamstress will guarantee that your dress will fit you perfectly!
Dresses for Tall Girls
A leg split is a great idea if you want to show off your long legs, and we can also alter the length of the split if it feels too high for you.
Tallulah is a great option for tall girls, with a leg split that isn’t too high.
Ultimately, all girls should be able to wear what they want no matter their shape or size!
Our Personal Stylists put your desires first and we guarantee you will leave with the perfect dress.
