Whatever your style, whatever the occasion – a dress really is a staple of many a great outfit. But it’s so difficult to know what to choose for your dress shape, right?
The 5 dresses you need for your shape right now
March 20, 2018
We’ve got loads to choose from this season in all kinds of colours and prints, so take a look at this handy guide and discover which dress style is perfect for your shape…
Karen – the summer midi dress
Great for: pear shapes and curvier hips
The Karen dress comes in a super flattering fit and flare shape. This basically means the bodice and waist is fitted — so you get great definition around those areas, but it’s fuller on the skirt so it feels nice and comfortable. There are also elasticated panels on the sides of the waist, giving it a really supportive fit. Team it with a cardi on cooler days, or dress it up with wedges and statement jewellery for an evening out with friends.
Leanne – the shirt dress
Great for: straight body shapes
This supersoft shirt dress is great for straight body shapes as the adjustable waist tie helps to add some definition once it’s tightened up. It’s a perfect casual throw-on dress that you really can do anything with! Wear it layered up all year round, dress it up or dress it down – easy! And long sleeves provide flattering coverage but can also be rolled up for warmer weathers too.
Top tip: the knee length style is perfect for taller ladies and wearing with sandals in-between the seasons.
Christie – the sleeveless swing dress
Great for: bigger busts
Feminine, stylish and in a choice of pretty prints, Christie is a really easy-to-wear dress. The notched neckline makes it really flattering, especially if you’ve got a larger bust. And it also comes with an adjustable and removable waist tie, so you can wear it whichever way you like… Either tie it up to show off your waist or take it off for a looser, more relaxed fit. It’s made from a rayon fabric, which is really soft with a great drape – creating a slimming shape.
Simone – the ‘anywhere, anytime’ dress
Great for: all body shapes
This flattering jersey swing dress is designed to suit all body shapes. It’s so easy to throw on – and the short sleeves are perfect for covering the tops of your arms. We’ve used a cotton-modal fabric blend to make it, which gives a great drape and a really comfortable fit. For something easy-to-wear, try pairing it with sandals and a leather bag, or tights and boots on cooler days.
Abigail – the feminine wrap dress
Great for: small waists & curvier hips
Wrap dresses are so popular this season! They really are great for any shape – the elasticated waistband is flexible for different waist and bust sizes. In fact, the Abigail dress offers the best of both worlds; it adds shape if you’ve got a straighter figure, but the drapey fabric is also slimming over hips. And it has a slightly longer, looser sleeve to cover the tops of arms perfectly. It’s a great holiday throw-on dress that will look amazing with a pair of sandals or pumps.
