The FIT & FLARE dress

If you want to enhance your figure and emphasise your waist, the fit and flare dress is the perfect option for you. This flattering design cinches in the waistline to create the appearance of a smaller silhouette. With the hem sitting just below the knees, it’s the ideal length to take you into the colder months. Easily teamed with tights or bare legs and zipped at the back for ease. The vibrant blue shade is a perfect way to incorporate colour into your winter wardrobe! And who doesn’t love a 2-in-1 deal? This dress comes with a detachable half sleeved shrug to complete the look, perfect for those chilly spring days.

The TUNIC dress

This everyday jersey tunic dress is adorned with a stylish print. If you’re looking to create the illusion of shape but don’t want a figure-hugging fit, a tunic design is the option for you! This dress grazes the body without drawing attention to any specific areas, which makes it perfect for those who are stomach conscious. Complete with a half sleeve for comfort, this tunic style can be dressed up with accessories and heels for an evening dinner, or dressed down with a raincoat and flats for a casual and comfortable look. Flattering and versatile for any occasion!

The TEA Dress

Create curves in all the right places with our pretty floral print Tea Dress. Prefect for a lunch with the ladies, or a late afternoon tea, this easy-to-wear option creates a sophisticated look whilst flattering your shape. Often overlooked by shoppers when choosing clothing, a neck line can play an important part in flattering the figure; A V-Neck creates a slimming effect on the neck and shoulders, which can give the illusion of an all-round smaller physique. With intricate details that will complement the waistline such as a gathered waistline and a single drop-pleat, this dress is a figure flattering must-have.
