‘Have you lost weight?’ ‘You look amazing in that dress!’ these compliments are music to your ears. We all know how hard it is to drop those extra pounds and let’s be honest: that is okay. It’s all about body positivity and accepting your body the way it is. You are beautiful just the way you are! Still, you want to make the most of your body and look slimmer if possible. That’s why we’ve listed 6 dresses that will make you look slimmer and thinner.
#1 Look slimmer in an A-line dress
A-line dresses are perfect for making you look slimmer. An A-line dress fits your waist and then flares out gradually to the hem. The dress can literally be recognised by the shape of the letter A. The beauty of the A-line dress is that its shape minimizes the midsection, hips and thighs, but draws attention to the chest and shoulders. Team your A-line dress with cool boots in the winter or with some gorgeous strappy sandals on warm summer days.
#2 Emphasise your waist with a wrap dress
A wrap dress creates a stunning hourglass figure, even if you don’t have one naturally. The tie waist cinches on the slimmest portion of your torso, which gives an ultra-slimming effect. Paired with a v-neckline, a wrap dress enhances your chest and slims down your hips. It is a great dress for those looking to add curves or for those with a pair shaped body. A wrap dress is the ultimate example of how you don’t have to walk around in slouchy clothes when you are a beautiful plus-size lady. Wrap dresses make you look slimmer, taller and they are super sexy as well!
#3 Hide your tummy in a shirt dress
A classic shirt dress is a staple if you want to look slimmer. A shirt dress has a straight fit that allows you to hide your curves and belly. The button closure makes you look taller, which automatically makes your look slimmer. Are you one of the narrow-waisted lucky ones? Emphasise your tiny midsection by adding a gorgeous belt. It’s best to opt for a simple shirt dress; ruffles and other fuss are counterproductive and will make you look bigger than you are.
#4 Stripes make you look taller
Whether it’s just one stripe or many, many stripes, all vertical stripes make you look taller. And the taller you look, the slimmer people think you are. We often see dresses with vertical stripes in the summer, i.e. the classic white and navy blue combo. Please don’t get vertical and horizontal stripes mixed up; the latter usually adds a couple of pounds to your looks.
#5 Show off your curves in a pencil dress
Curvy women often prefer to wear loose-fitted dresses, but they possess the beautiful curves all women dream off. Be proud of your curves and show them! A pencil dress shows off your feminine curves and makes you look a lot slimmer than a loose, shapeless dress. We bet you’ll turn heads in your new pencil dress!
#6 Create length with a maxi dress
Adding length equals a slimmer look and a summery maxi dress is your go-to. Long dresses come in many varieties: choose an animal print to hide your belly or a plain maxi dress that makes you look even taller. A maxi dress is great to wear on warm summer days, but they are also perfect to team with a jumper and cool boots in the winter. That way, you can wear your favourite maxi dress all year round!
