What’s your shape?

Triangle. Small chest (32B), average waist (size 6-8), and waaaay too much hips and booty for my 5' frame (size 16). Obviously, I have like two pieces of clothing I actually like, and the rest of my wardrobe is an ill-fitted mess.

Ok, so I am also 5’0” but I have a huge chest (34DDD), thick waist (28-29 inch), very short waisted and no butt. Normal hips. I guess I’m sort of like an apple? Don’t know.

What’s Wrong with swing dressss?

They do not flatter people with hips and waists. If you feel they look good on you, please buy them all.

I think I’d be an hourglass if I lost 100 pounds, or maybe a pear.

So, I actually like swing dresses. Yes, I'm the exact type of person who should never wear them (short, short-waisted, extreme pear shape.) Yes, I have complete strangers asking me about my (non-existant) pregnancy. On one hand, I can just jut out out my tummy a bit and easily get a seat on Metro. On the other hand, I accept the fact that I'm 25 pounds overweight and that's not going to magically fix itself by summer. The swing dresses at least offer an option that can be dressed up with the right accessories to be work-appropriate, without having really uncomfortable fabric bunching around my waist.

TL;DR: Swing dresses are awesome on chub-cubs because they don't constrict the tummy area. If you actually have a nice figure (hourglass / defined waist), just cinch at the waist.
