My favourite thing to wear is dresses, especially maxi dresses. They are floor length and I rarely have to worry about “sitting pretty”. They are effortless-an entire outfit all by itself, and oh so CHIC! Here are a few tips to help you choose a dress to suit your body type.
Full Figure:
To avoid looking as if you’re wearing a nightgown, choose a dress that hits at your natural waist, and has definite shape. Don’t be afraid to belt your maxi dress.
Short Frames:
Choose the dress that best suit your frame, and have it hemmed to your proper height. Most dry cleaners have a seamstress or tailor who can easily do this for you, if you are unable to do it yourself.
Tall & Slender:
Make sure that you choose a dress that has a definite waist. Otherwise, you can appear more willowy and too thin. Don’t be afraid to belt your dress.
Prints:
Head to toe prints have the potential for looking too busy. Keep it balanced it up by keeping your accessories, like a handbag, belt, or shoes- a solid colour. On the reverse, if your maxi dress is solid in colour, add printed accessories to keep it interesting.
Athletic Frame:
Tube like, column style, thin strapped dresses allow you to how of your toned arms and mask a boyish shape. A form fitting dress just may be perfect for you, making you appear tall and elegant. A slit works well, but make sure that it isn’t too high.
Busty Ladies:
Look for a V-neck maxi dress, to avoid looking top heavy. You want there to be a separation between your breast, and not appear as if they’ve merged together. If the v neck is too low, consider sewing in fabric panel, or wearing a camisole underneath.
This season is all about rocking your own inimitable style in a stunning maxi dress, which is why this versatile style be your go-to choice for any occasion. Channel your inner boho princess with a floaty chiffon design embellished with delicate flowers. Or shimmer in head-to-toe sequins with a long sleeve number hugging your every curve. How you style your maxi dress is up to you, be creative with your accessories and your personality will shine through.
