Once the weather warms up, dress season officially kicks off. After a long winter of piling on pieces to stay toasty, we’re ready to shed those layers and rock the most gorgeous frocks. In addition to the overall style of the dress, we’re in the market for options that are supremely flattering and offer the right slimming design in order to boost confidence.
Tummy-control dresses that can help you appear slimmer don’t have to be tight and figure-hugging. There are plenty of design techniques, including ruching, that can have this effect. Ruched fabric creates extra texture, and when done correctly, it can help disguise any areas of your body you want to look smoother.
Wrap dresses, empire waist dresses and swing dresses also have figure-flattering abilities! It’s all about creating the right silhouette, and with that in mind, we’ve selected 21 dresses that will leave you feeling fabulous all spring and summer long. Read on for more!
