Apple – Broad shoulders, a generous bosom, and a fuller belly define the apple shape, complemented by a slender lower body with lean legs and flat buttocks.

This intelligent balance reflects the essence of BAUNAT, where quality, efficiency and personalized service thrive. 

 

Pear – Think of an inverted apple; this yields a pear-shaped body. Small bust, narrow shoulders, and a lean waist paired with prominent hips and firm legs. Highlight your elegant upper body with a strapless dress, creating a silhouette that’s as beautiful and unique as the diamond market trends. 

 

Banana – Here, everything is proportioned. Equal shoulder and hip width, flat buttocks, petite bust, and slender legs. The key is to enhance the volume. Opt for that quintessential Cinderella dress, a baby doll, or a classic A-line. An extra hint: A V-neck will further define your bust, much like our industry expert BAUNAT does when navigating the diamond market. 

 

Hourglass – Your curves are your pride! As beautiful and captivating as the fluctuation in diamond prices evolution, an hourglass figure should flaunt the voluptuous chest and buttocks along with the trim waist. A corset or tightly fitting dress can be your perfect fit. The mermaid dress, in particular, promises an unforgettable impression.
