But I'm extremely insecure about my body. Ever since I was little I've always been twenty pounds underweight. And I'm just now catching up. I am 5'7 and 105 lbs. but I look like I'm way scrawnier. I really want to wear a dress but I think I look to bony.

A skater dress would really suit you, as it flares out and makes you look like you've got hips:)

What does that look like? And would a pretty dress take attention away from my bony arms?

You're not too bony! Try with a busy or floral print, in a shape that's cinched in at the waist but that opens up in the skirt area, like a skater dress, kind of. :-) You'll see!!

Oh thanks guys. And what do I wear on my legs? My knees have a deformation where they point inwards and I want to make it less obvious.

OMG GURL I feel you!! I'm like 5'6 and around 90 pounds!! :/ I hate it too lol but trust me what I've learned is most people just see you as a cute and petite body type, they don't see the "boniness" that we see :p so yea believe me you don't look bad :) I find that the best dresses that fit me are body con ones, since they're just tight all around, there's no loose parts making your body look smaller :) also ones that are flowy on the bottoms are cute! It takes a while to find a good ones though so just look around& good luck!! :D.

If you're worried about looking to thin don't wear anything bodycon. Wear stuff that's flared out. You will look beautiful in anything though just wear it with confidence :)

You sound exactly like my 15 year old self. People don't realise that its just as hard to gain weight as it is to lose it. I'm currently trying to bulk up too if you want some tips or anything :) I really recommend midi, maxi and body con dresses, ones that poof out tend to exaggerate (on me anyway) my skinny little legs so I stay away from skater if I feel insecure. Stay away from black. Pastel or bright colours always seem to help. I can post some pics if that helps any.

Because you are insecure about your weight I would wear a dress that flares at the bottom. it actually does wonders. also, I think that your beautiful. you have so many options! good luck!!

I totally agree. I feel like people don't realise that it is very hard for others to gain weight too. But anyways, I agree, something a-line, with a nice definition on the waist. You could accentuate features you like on your body, maybe wear a statement necklace, heels, an open back. The best accessory though is confidence.
