THE 5 MOST FLATTERING
NEW DRESSES

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.

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.

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.

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.
