At times black color highlights your heavy parts and makes you look much heavier than what you really are. Navy blue, purple and burgundy are very nice to serve this propose. If you are fed up of wearing dark colors all the time and want to try light colors then you can use a dress that has contrast of light and dark colors but the design should cover your bulges for example if your dress is dark from the centre portion and light from sides this would help you to cover your side flab or love handles.
Do not go for big bold patterns in the dress as these would look wider. You can get vertical thin stripes as this pattern is ideal to create the illusion of slim body. Short dresses make you look trendy especially if you are a teen. You can wear a short dress that has V- neckline as V neckline gives a sleek look. A line is never out of trend because of their elegant look; you can go for an A-line dress to look trendy and yet elegant.
