Discover Your Perfect Dress Silhouette — Finding the Right Fit for Your Figure and Personal Style

Online shopping can be hard. You see a dress online that you think would look great on you only to receive it and hate the fit when you try it on. Shopping in person can help ensure you find a good fit, but that comes with its own fair share of hassles. Stores can be crowded, have low inventory, and you have to take time out of your day to travel to and from the store.

Here at Masai, we try to combine the best of both worlds between online shopping and in-person shopping. We have all the convenience of shopping online combined with the personalized style recommendations of in-person shopping. With our wide range of shapes, you’re sure to find a silhouette that suits your figure and personal style effortlessly. So go ahead and explore the different dress silhouettes that we offer and see which one is right for you!

A-Shape Dresses

The a-shape might be the shape for you if you like your clothes to fit more loosely on the bottom. The A-shape emphasizes the bust and falls loosely over the body. Fun and flirty, this shape is great for days when you want to enhance your femininity.

The Nejanas Dress is a great example of this style of silhouette. With a relaxed fitting funnel neck and long puff sleeves, this dress exudes classic femininity. The puff sleeves are flattering for any shape and add a touch of whimsy too!

Straight Dress Shape

The straight shape is a classic, linear silhouette offering comfort and a pleasantly androgynous aesthetic. Casual and relaxed, this shape is great for women who are not looking to accentuate any particular area of their figure.

For example, the Nomilo Shirt Dress is effortlessly chic and down-to-earth. With its straight cut design, tailored shirt collar, and buttoned neckline, it exudes laid-back professionalism. The comfortable jersey fabric is adorned with an eye-catching pattern, giving this piece an artful look. This versatile garment is perfect for throwing on before a meeting or even for picking up your kids from school. Dress it up with a sleek pair of boots or heels or dress it down with a pair of your favorite sneakers.

Bias Dress Shape

The bias shape is one of our most popular shapes since it suits a wide array of body types. The fabric is cut on the diagonal and therefore wraps itself beautifully and elegantly drapes around the body. It feels like it has the same flexibility as elastic fabric which makes it ideal for women who want a comfortable fit but still like a feminine silhouette.

The bias silhouette can be seen in our beloved Nora High-Low Dress. With soft lines and a gentle pattern, this dress is lightweight and creates beautiful movement. The hem of the dress is higher in the front, creating a stunning floating shape. In addition, the neckline is cut into a flattering “V” shape to add visual interest and accent your favorite necklaces.

Shaped Dress Shape

The shaped silhouette is a more roomy fitted shape. Ladies with a larger bust and curves love this silhouette. It is wide across the chest, but tapers in slightly at the waist. As seen in our Najal Tie-Neck Shirt Dress, the shaped silhouette is romantic and gives off bohemian elegance. This floral shirt dress is breezy, loose fitting, but still structured enough to provide a flattering, feminine shape. This silhouette is perfect for many occasions including dinner parties, date nights, or even everyday use.
