As soon as the weather warms up, dress season officially begins. After a long winter of wearing clothes to stay warm, we’re ready to shed those layers and rock the prettiest dresses. In addition to the overall style of the dress, we look for options that are extremely flattering and offer the right slimming design to boost confidence.
Tummy tucking dresses that can help you look slimmer don’t have to be tight and form-fitting. There are many design techniques, including ruffles, that can achieve this effect. Gathered fabric provides additional structure and, when done correctly, can help conceal any areas of your body that you want to look smoother.
Wrap dresses, empire waist dresses and swing dresses also have figure-flattering properties! It’s all about creating the right silhouette, and with that in mind, we’ve selected 21 dresses that will have you feeling fabulous all spring and summer long. Read on for more!
