HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT DRESS

Generally speaking, any dress that defines your waist and doesn't cling to your stomach is going to flatter. For something non-restrictive, floaty dresses are perfect. But the most flattering styles are in-between, highlighting all the right places yet still comfortable to wear.

1.THE SHIRT DRESS

Along with wrap dresses, a shirt dress is flattering on most body shapes. The go-to silhouette for Katherine the Princess of Wales, it will fit and flatter your torso while skimming over your middle. If you're bust-conscious, collar and belt details have the pleasing effect of drawing the eye to where you'd rather pull focus.

2.THE TUNIC DRESS

Similar to an A-Line dress, a tunic shape is cut to be slightly fitted at the top and looser at the hem. It's the perfect slip-on-and-go style, complementing those with wider hips. Plus, it makes a great transitional layering piece – think over roll necks and jeans.

3.THE TAILORED DRESS

Soft drapery, placement panelling and seam detailing are all clever design touches with the primary purpose of creating a flattering outline and the appearance of a narrower waistline. They're not purely for decoration! The result is chic and streamlined.

4.THE RUCHED DRESS

In a similar fashion to a tailored dress, smoothing shirred bodices and gathered details can create a 'nipped-in' look, whether you opt for a knee-length or midi-length dress. Placed at the shoulders and cuffs, they'll also help to balance proportions.

Rather than relying on shapewear, reach for shape-holding dresses instead. Look for structured fabrics and knitted yarns with a touch of stretch – they're made to gently contour and smooth the lines of your body without feeling restrictive.
