We've got some tips from InStyle on how to rock the shirtdress trend (as well as a few of our own), regardless of your shape. And remember, the key to finding something that flatters your figure is always to try it on -- you'll never be able to tell how it fits from the hanger. Trust us.

There are some cuts that are going to flatter you with ease, and some that, no matter how fabulous the pattern, just aren't going to give you the sleek, sexy look you want. We've got some tips for how to accentuate the positive and diminish the negative when you're dressing up for a big night (or day) out. Check out the gallery for tips!
