Styling Tips for Curve Dresses
When it comes to styling your curves, it's about embracing your body shape and finding the perfect fit. We've got some styling tips to help you rock those curves with confidence in dresses that will make you the envy of every room.

Consider Your Body Shape: Embrace What Mama Gave You!
Let's be real, we come in all shapes and sizes, and that's what makes us unique. Own your body shape, whether you're a sassy apple, a bodacious pear, a va-va-voom hourglass, a sleek rectangle, or a top of the world triangle. The key is to choose dresses that accentuate your assets and make you feel like a queen. Dive into our guide on "How to Dress For Your Shape" for a dose of body-loving inspiration!

Consider Colours: Paint the Town Fabulous!
When it comes to colours, you've got the whole palette to play with! Here's the scoop:

  • Block Colours: Play with solid colours. Keeping tonal will always create a seamless silhouette and classic black is always a winner, but don't be afraid to unleash your inner rainbow with vibrant hues that reflect your personality and style. Considering placement is key, remember dark colours minimise, light colours accentuate. 
  • Florals: Blossom like the fierce flower you are! Floral prints can be a curvy girl's best friend. Look for dresses with floral patterns that are strategically placed to enhance your curves and draw attention to your best assets. If you are blessed with luscious curves then opt for curve dresses like curve wrap dresses.
  • Neutrals: Be a neutral goddess! Soft nude and blush tones create an elegant and versatile canvas. They're the perfect backdrop for adding a splash of pizzazz with a statement belt and vibrant pops of colour.

Make it easier on yourself and shop our dresses for lots of options to inspire you.

Consider Occasion
While it's essential to choose a dress that compliments your figure, it's equally important to consider the occasion. Here are some quick tips to ensure you're always dressed to slay:

  • Formal: When it's time to bring the glam, reach for dresses with exquisite cuts and luxurious fabrics. Our collection of formal dresses offers a range of sophisticated curve dress options to suit your style.

Wrap dresses are the ultimate curve enhancers! The cross over at the waist delicately enhances and or creates one and the drape beautifully skims your curves falling to a flattering skirt giving balance to any body shape. Embrace the allure of the Lacey Wrap Dress in Cream Floral and get ready to wow with this captivating style when you peruse our wrap dress collection.

Off the Shoulder

Shoulders are sexy! Off-the-shoulder dresses add a touch of allure while still embracing those curves. The Scarlet Dress in Black Spot Chiffon will have you dancing like no one’s watching. This style is particularly stunning for pear shapes as it will balance curvy bottoms by extending the top of the dress out to the furthest spot on your shoulders.

Maxi Dresses

Let's go to the max! Maxi dresses can be a curvy girl's best friend. They elongate your silhouette and offer a stunning, flowing look.
