SPRING DRESS SILHOUETTES

Retire your bulky knits and chunky sweaters.  Fresh off the runway are this season's hottest silhouettes.  How will you wear these styles this season?  Drop waist, Asymmetric hem, and Peplum are all over.  I will be featuring two of these in today's blog.  Search my other blogs if interested in peplum.

Drop Waist- features a lower waist usually at the hip bone or lower abdomen area.  This look works for most body types including those ladies for have an abundant chest, are larger in the waist area, boy silhouettes.  Where the dress is dropped or gathered around the hips and the fit of the top determines how the dress will fit on you.

Asymmetric Hem-shorter in the front and longer in the back gives coverage yet shows some skin.  This look is very flattering leg line for most women.  This hemline can go from extreme to minimally done so try both looks or find the one that fits your style.  Sass & Bide, BCBG, ABS are designers known for this silhouette.
