Natural Waistline

 
 
The seam of this waistline lies at the natural waist, i.e., between the rib-cage and the hips.

Basque/ Antebellum waistline

 
 
The Basque waist-line is identified by an elongated triangle "V" that it features beneath your natural waistline. The shape extends down the natural waist for about 2 to 3 inches. The shape is wider at the hips and tapers as it goes down and ends up meeting at a single point.

Works wonders for:

Dropped Waistline

 

The dropped waistline is also a horizontal line that falls three to four inches below your natural waistline, near the level of your upper hips.

 
Works wonders for:
* Petite women ( banana body shape) can wear the waist-line as it imparts an elongating look to your waist and torso and make you look taller.
* This one will also suit the hour-glass figure the most.
* This waist-line may also help balance the upper half and the lower half of the body to project an hour-glass figure.
 
AVOID:
* Those with narrow shoulders should avoid wearing this waist-line, or they can wear this waistline with a dress that has an off- shoulder neckline.
* For those who have a longer waist, the waistline may add more to the length and make you appear out of proportion.
