A v-neck or strapless dress will minimize the bustline, provided everything is held in with the proper undergarments. Plain or very little detail on the bodice with embroidery, beading or lace on the skirt will avert the eye to the skirt instead of the bustline.

It's often a huge party with live music, dancing, and of course, lots of birthday presents. In the Hispanic world, this party is held when a girl reaches age 15; it's called a Quinceara. "Quinceara" means both a girl's title when she's 15 years old, as well as the actual party she has. And similar to the American version of the celebration, the sweet 15 dresses are one of the most crucial elements of the party.

Stay away from the empire waistline as this will only make the bustline look bigger than what it is. The natural waistline would compliment this body shape, as would the v-formation of the basque waistline, pointing downwards toward the skirt giving the illusion of a well- balanced figure. These waistlines can be found in Contemporary, Classic, Glamorous and Romantic styles. Beach/Destination gowns also have the natural waistline but keep the top half as simple as possible.

A mermaid dress will give you a shapely silhouette without being inappropriately sexy for a wedding dress. The dress hugs your curves from your bust to your hips, then flares out at the knee to create a fishtail effect. (That looks way better than it sounds.) Mermaid dresses can be strikingly beautiful, but because they are fitted so closely, they may not be good for ceremonies in which you have to kneel. You may even have some trouble sitting down if your dress is very form-fitting, so consider changing into another outfit for your reception.

Cruise liners offer something for everyone. You get to visit exotic ports of call, and the idea of your hotel raveling with you?is appealing.
