If you're not sure which pieces to choose for your body type, here are some tips to help you enhance your figure!
Maison 123 pieces generally fit true to size. We usually recommend choosing your usual size, or one size up for a more oversized, very trendy look. In each product description, you'll find the product's length for a size 36, the size of the model presenting the product, as well as access to our size guide. For our dresses and skirts measuring less than 75 cm, you can add or subtract about 1 cm per size. For skirts measuring more than 75 cm, our pants, and jeans, the lengths indicated remain the same regardless of the chosen size. In the case of specific fits, we indicate in the description the most appropriate size based on the desired look.
The number-one rule when you have a large bust is to choose an open neckline, such as a deep V-neck or a buttoned fastening, which can be unbuttoned at will to enhance the décolleté. Prefer our dresses with marked waistlines, like our iconic Carola model for example, which will ensure a streamlined, harmonious silhouette. Avoid dresses with empire waists and round or high collars that will visually crush your bust.
To feel comfortable in all circumstances, we recommend an empire-waist dress, which means a seam under the bust, providing a light trapeze cut without a marked waistline for ultimate comfort. Opt for a short dress to draw attention to your legs and elongate your silhouette in the babydoll spirit. If you prefer long dresses, which are just as trendy, opt for a model with a trapeze cut or adjustable waist. Choose a solid color or a discreet, subtle print.
Definitely accentuate your slim waist. Long dresses are your best allies for elongating and harmoniously shaping your silhouette. We recommend a fitted dress that you can accentuate with a belt, buttons, or a slit to subtly reveal your legs. If you prefer short dresses, go for wrap dresses that tie at the waist.
If you have a narrow bust with wider hips, the dress you need is a skater dress or wrap dress that highlights your bust, defines your waist, and flares out from the waist to enhance your curves. Whether short or long, the key is to perfectly accentuate your silhouette.
Do you have shoulders and hips of the same width and a less defined waist? Opt for dresses with a straight cut or a slightly A-line babydoll style. Highlight your upper body with exposed shoulders or empire waists. Don't hesitate to go for short dresses to make your legs a strong point.
We recommend opting for a dress with an empire waist, which means a seam under the bust that creates a light A-line silhouette without a marked waist for ultimate comfort. Choose a short or midi dress that won't shorten your silhouette and will visually lengthen it. Prefer a solid color or a subtle, discreet print.
If you have an X or 8 body shape, all types of pants can flatter you, but opt for a high-waisted model that will beautifully define your silhouette. This season, go for a trendy paperbag model. For an A-shaped body, with shoulders narrower than hips, choose classic shapes, like straight-leg pants or high-waisted chinos that contour the body and balance the silhouette. With a V-shaped body, focus on your legs and choose flare pants that will harmonize your silhouette or slim-fit pants to draw attention to your long legs. With an H or O body shape, feminize your silhouette by emphasizing your waist and visually lengthening your silhouette with flare or straight pants. Don’t hesitate to consult our denim guide.

The long skirt, delicately bohemian, is ideal for elongating the silhouette, provided you choose the right model. Opt for a fluid skirt with a mid-calf length and a high waist that visually lengthens the silhouette. A skirt with a slit or a button placket that can be opened is a plus, as it will reveal your legs and not weigh down the silhouette. If you are short, the choice of shoes will make a difference: opt for slim-heeled boots to elongate yourself and give you a slender look. On top, choose a top or knitwear that you can tuck into the skirt to maintain the high and visible waistline.
To avoid compressing your silhouette, opt for fitted coats or straight cuts like a men's coat, a pea coat, or a trench coat. In terms of length, prefer a short coat or one that reaches mid-thigh to avoid overwhelming your silhouette. If you want to indulge in the oversize trend, choose a short model like a leather aviator jacket or a wool overshirt. Emphasize your legs to play with volumes and elongate your silhouette.
Draw attention to other parts of your body by emphasizing your waist, subtly revealing your legs, or accentuating the lower part of your body, which will allow you to add more volume to the top. You can wear all types of sleeves, short as long as they don't have elastic that will mark the arm, 3/4, or long as long as they aren't balloon-shaped or voluminous. Prefer tapered or fluid sleeves. To camouflage your arms, also focus on adding volume to the shoulders with ruffles or small shoulder pads that will structure the silhouette and attract more attention.
