Which style suits everyone best?
ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there’s a new style of clothing that suits all body shapes.
Low-cut silhouettes with a dropped waist have become hugely popular thanks to the 2000s fashion trend that took the catwalks, social media and of course the high street by storm.
First seen on the runways of luxury brands Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style is typically fitted around the hips and pelvic area rather than the waist.
Now that the sun is starting to shine, there are plenty of affordable dresses available that suit different body shapes.
Clemmie Fieldsend, fashion editor, said: “There’s something really stylish about these dresses and I love them.
“The simplicity of the top half combined with the full skirt resembles a tighter, more grown-up tutu.
“I have a short torso, so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but luckily the long skirt doesn’t make your legs look shorter.
“Plus, it means I can get in on the low-waist trend without having to go completely naked in low-rise jeans.
“I know I’ll be walking around in these shoes all summer long, paired with black sandals and sunglasses, but for now all I need is a blazer over them and some closed-toe shoes and I’m good to go.”
Meanwhile, fashion director Tracey Lea Sayer added: “I remember drop-waist dresses from the ’80s. I loved them then and I still love them now!
“Forty years after they first became popular, I’m not sure they’re still as flattering around my midsection. After two kids and middle age, my waistline is no longer visible.
“A dress like this allows me to hide my waist and still stay trendy this summer.”
“I LOVE this dress! It covers my mom’s belly which makes me so happy! You look gorgeous,” a third person commented.
“I trusted you with this dress…and…it’s absolutely gorgeous! Mine arrived today and I’ve already ordered a second color!” wrote another follower.
“I have this in two colors, [I] “I was extremely impressed,” said one TikTok user.
“This dress is gorgeous. I have it in blue and [I’m] about to get all the other colors. Hides the menopausal belly,” shared another viewer.
“I have this dress and it looks amazing. I have never felt so good about myself,” wrote one woman.
