Apple Shape ~ Styles that suit a curvy and larger tummy and abdomen by Lindsey Brown
Drop Waist
Our signature bloused drop waist dresses hide the tummy and gently drape over the abdomen creating a very sleek and flattering shape.
Loose Waist
Breezy and loose the supple cotton fabric of our loose dresses ensures the loose style is not over sized on apple body shapes.
Angled Patterns
Choose our prints that are created as placement prints to mirror each side so the eye is drawn away from the curvy apple shaped body.
Off Shoulder
Show off your sun kissed shoulders wearing our bardot off the shoulder dresses, which takes the attention away from your tummy.
Flared Dress
The ruffled neckline draws your eye upwards, the dress gently flares from under the bust creating a very slender dress shape.
The apple-shaped body is typically characterised by a fuller upper torso, a rounder midsection, and a less defined waistline, often with slimmer legs and hips. At Lindsey Brown resort wear, we design resort wear garments that enhance the natural elegance of this body shape by subtly elongating the silhouette and drawing attention away from the tummy area. Our thoughtfully crafted styles are made to flatter and balance the apple-shaped figure with grace and ease. Our signature drop-waisted resort wear styles are ideal for this shape, as they lengthen the torso and shift the focus away from the tummy area, helping to create a more streamlined silhouette. These flattering beach dresses in both silk and cotton gently skim over the waist and tummy without clinging. The result is a slim hip and a hidden tummy area so a flattering look for everyone.

Styles we suggest : Another signature Lindsey Brown design that beautifully suits the apple-shaped body is our elegant open V back dresses. This unexpected detail adds interest to the back of the garment, drawing the eye upward and away from the midsection, while also creating a lighter, more refined appearance from behind. It also adds space for the front of the dress, to create a slender bust shape, without pulling on the front of the body. With fluid fabrics, clever cuts, and a touch of sunset glamour, Lindsey Brown's resort wear ensures that apple-shaped figures feel both confident and chic. Whether for a day at the beach or a Caribbean Cruise our luxury resort wear bring effortless elegance to every holiday wardrobe.

Drop-Waisted Dresses: A Signature Style for Apple Shapes
One of our most flattering styles for the apple body shape is our signature drop-waisted resort dress. This clever design creates the illusion of a longer torso, shifting the focus away from the tummy and towards the legs and neckline. The soft drop-waist sits comfortably lower on the hips, offering a more balanced silhouette that smooths and flatters the midsection without clinging. Crafted in lightweight, breathable fabrics such as pure silk and soft cotton, these drop-waisted beach dresses are ideal for warm climates. They feel cool and airy against the skin while offering a stylish, easy-to-wear shape that moves gracefully from beachside lounging to sunset dinners.
V-Back Dresses. Elegance with a Twist

The refined V-back detail adds interest and draws the eye upward, cleverly balancing the silhouette by enhancing the neckline and shoulders. This subtle feature also allows more room across the bust and front of the dress, preventing the fabric from pulling or sitting uncomfortably.
The result is a gentle, flowing garment that provides comfort while creating a visually elongated and slender look. Ideal for both daywear and evening resort dressing, our V-back styles exude relaxed glamour with just the right amount of drama.
