The “Right” Summer Dress

July 5, 2017 By Lynne

Summer party season has arrived. Is your “dress wardrobe” ready?

 

The Floral Dress

Floral dresses are here for at least another season, and paying attention to the size of the floral pattern matters.  If you have a smaller frame and are under 5’ 5”, stick with a pattern no larger than the size of your fist.  For those of you with a bit more height, go for it!  A large statement flower is for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dark neutral is the perfect backdrop to pulling off any floral on the body. The contrast color against the skin grounds the pattern, so as to not overpower your body shape.

 

 

Remember, the cut and proportion are the most important factors to looking your best. Sometimes a print can get overwhelming even if you are very tall.  If a flower print is just too sweet, think about a dress style that incorporates other just as worthy trends, like the bell sleeve, choker neck, or halter.

 

 

The Lace Dress

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all thought that the lace trend had run its course, but think again. Lace dresses in every color are still hot.  The updated style for this season includes a flutter sleeve or the new midi length.  By the way, the midi dress is perfect length (not too long and not too short) to wear with a square heel, ankle strap sandal.

 

Going Bold

 

 

 

Being dramatic means you pick one aspect of the dress that draws attention for fashion sake; and it need not necessarily be body flattering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you pick a solid color it can be a big A-line cut, with a scalloped hem and sleeves.  Or a fitted dress with an extra neck or sleeve detail.

 

The Kimono

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tired of the standard shawl or shrug to slip over your shoulders on a chilly night or in the air conditioning?  Add a silk kimono for a new look that is right on trend. I love these!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Little Black Dress

Not much needs to be said for the little black dress… everyone needs one!

 

 

 

 

 

The Perfect Leg

Achieve a smooth sleek leg that is pantyhose free with Sally Hansen. The cream in the tube has a bit more coverage without the smell of a self-tanner. The spray has a little lighter coverage with a pretty shimmer. Bare legs with confidence.   https://www.sallyhansen.com/skin-body/airbrush-legs
