SEXY SILHOUETTE...FIT & FLARE DRESSES

This style of dress, nipped in at the waist with a fuller skirt creates curves for a flattering silhouette.  The key is wear the waistline falls and the fullness of the skirt.  For those with athletic or stick straight silhouettes, this look gives you the curves and creates a waist.  For those with fuller tummy's, the waistline should sit above your belly button.  Adding a large belt also creates a waistline.  A voluptuous skirt hides the tummy and hip area.  But you don't have to look like you are wearing a tu-tu!  Streamlined fabrics work well for accentuating and hiding areas too.  Highlight your best features with a deep plunging neckline or go with a shorter skirt if showcasing your legs.  For the mature women, the hemline can go past your knees and pair with a cardigan.  This dress works for petites to plus-sizes at all price points!

Trends for Spring:  Prints and patterns will be big.  Colors such as tangerine, coral, chartreuse, and pink are hot.  Pair with white shoes/bag in summer or for spring go with a contrasting bold color (orange/blue, pink/blue, yellow/green, coral/purple as examples).




This Erin Fetherston dress is perfect for spring.  The color grabs you and can be dressed up with colored heels and jewelry, add a blazer for the office, or pair with with a leather cropped jacket for a night on the town.  Dress, $120.
