Hey ladies! I had been thinking of doing this post
since quite some time now, but laziness was getting better of me. This post is
about something ladies like me (read curvy and broad shouldered) face every
day: coming across lovely western dresses online, but unsure about trying them
because we feel those dresses are only for women with “perfect”
figure. And if you hail from a small town like me, things get worse because any
girl above 16 wearing frocks or skirts which shows off their legs is seen with
disdain :-/ Also, more often than not, the options listed on Indian online shopping sites either seems too short, too flimsy or too sheer
for our comfort. This post will show the dress types which actually worked for
me and I could wear such types outside my residence without feeling
uncomfortable! Check and make your wishlist now :D
Without further ado, let’s start!
1. A solid dark coloured dress with
tiny prints: If you haven’t worn western dresses
ever outside your home after crossing 16, you might want to try them at home
first initially so that you don’t get fidgety when you wear them outside. For
this purpose, a breezy light dress like this will keep you comfortable
throughout the day. The dark colour and tiny prints will ensure you look slimmer;
the elasticised waist will help you ditch that belt (Who wants to wear a belt
for whole day! Duh), knee-length will make sure you are not uncomfortable about
too much leg-show and the comfortable cotton fabric will ensure a breezy fit
through the day :) I love wearing such dresses at home!

2. An Ankle-length printed flared
dress: Once you are comfortable enough wearing dresses at
home, try venturing out now with a dress like this. A solid colored torso will
ensure your bust looks in shape, flared and printed skirt area will take the
attention away from your upper body and the ankle length will ensure you don’t
have to bother about leg –show when you are busy with chores like shopping!

3. A
midi-length floral print dress: Now
that you have broken through your “I-cannot-wear-a-dress” lock, you can try a
floral and summery print dress like this for those girls’ day out or a brunch
with your friends! Pair this with wedges or bellies and an oversized watch and
you are sorted J Again, the midi length will ensure you
remain not too conscious about the legs.

4. Formal skirt dress:
Well, life is not always a party. To pay bills, we need to go to work as well
:-/ For work wear, I prefer these types of structured skirt dresses. The length
makes it modest enough and if you are conscious about wearing sleeveless to
work, throw on a summer blazer over this :D

5. A thick fabric bodycon dress:
The first thing which used to come in my mind when I heard “bodycon” dresses
were skimpy, skin hugging, flimsy material dresses which looks vulgar on most
figures. That was before I came across this kind of options online were thick
materials were used for these dresses so that they accentuate your curves
without being clingy! This shape has become my favourite now and if you avoid
flimsy materials in bodycon dresses, then nothing can be more classy! You can
easily wear a dress like this to a party. Just accessorize it with a thick
pearl bracelet, wear nude or black pumps, skip dark lipstick and choose an MLBB
shade, highlight your skin and you are ready to turn heads! ;)

6. A classic black dress:
Finally time for the evening with your “special one”. I personally prefer black
or reds for such occasions (Yes yes, those are hubby’s favourite colours on me
too!). This solid black dress will make you look trimmer and the lace details
add much feminine allure to the ensemble! The dress length can be just to the
knee level and so if you are conscious, you may wear a good pair of sheer stockings
underneath. A classic winged eyeliner, red lips (or smokey eyes and red lips. Read tutorial HERE) along with some
delicate gold tone accessories will complete this look. Black pumps will complete
your stunning attire.
