Dress Alternative

May 16, 2017

If you have a hard time shopping for dresses you are not alone. The difficulty stems from the fact that our top and bottom halves can drastically differ in size and shape. Thankfully there is a workaround – separates!
 
I can’t tell you the number of times that I’m wearing separates and yet someone compliments me on my dress! The easiest way to create the illusion of a dress is by choosing a bottom and top that are the same fabric, like I’ve done in today’s post. If the fabric is different then look for matching hardware. If the top and bottom both have a zipper in the middle of the back and they align when worn together, that is ideal!
 
Do you find shopping for dresses to be a frustrating experience? Have you ever worn separates as an alernative? Let me know in the comments below!
