The best form-fitting dresses to show off your curves like Kim Kardashian

May 18, 2020 - 19:29 UTC By Sabrina Salazar Gómez
LEER EN ESPAñOL

There are a lot of reasons to admire—and even envy— Kim Kardashian . Without a doubt, one of them is her ability to use her wardrobe to show off her figure. The businesswoman certainly makes it look effortless as her outfits seem to be perfectly constructed for her body.

In many of her appearances, Kim’s outfits share a common pattern: bodycon dresses with ruching on the front or sometimes on the side. This is a dressmaking technique that consists of creating texture in a dress silhouette with folds, while fitting the parts of her body “like a glove.”

This style is astoundingly flattering as the ruched fabric conceals the abdomen, highlights the waist and accentuates the hips. The SKIMs founder’s looks are proof of the slimming effect of ruching.

Sensuality au naturel

One of her most iconic looks was for the Met Gala 2019, where she dazzled in a sensual Latex dress with dangling beads by Thierry Mugler, that turned heads for quite a few reasons, one of which was the ruching that brilliantly highlighted her hips and chest.

​Seduction in red

For the second year of the American Influencer Awards, Kanye West’s wife wore a vintage model inspired by the traditional Chinese dress—a qipao—created by John Galliano for Dior. The asymmetrical skirt with a side slit not only accentuated her silhouette but also her legs. The ruching emphasized her hourglass figure by defining her curves.

Casual in beige

Apart from accentuating curves, long dresses with draping throughout their form complement the arms, torso and lower body. When it comes to concealing flaws, they’re an all-in-one option. With this dress, the style icon chose an off-the-shoulder look for an extra touch of sensuality.

Don’t get left behind and wear them yourself!
