A fabulous dress is a necessity, whether you’re going out for a hot date, off to an important meeting or have a luncheon, wedding, etc. How to find a dress to flatter your figure can be challenging though. I picked out some versatile dresses that can be dressed up with heels and statement jewelry or dressed down with boots. Whatever the occasion, you will look tres chic!

Marc New York by Andrew Marc Fit and Flare Dress. Fit and flare dresses (meaning the top is fitted and the skirt flares out) are a pear-shaped girl’s best friend. They skim the hips and balance the figure. They also work on boyish figures because they create a waist and a feminine shape, and on curvy shapes because they show off your curves. They hide a tummy and the open neck of this dress minimizes broad shoulders. Free shipping and free returns. $138

One of the most important ways to look fabulous in a dress is make your legs look like they go on for miles. I’ve talked about this before in some posts, but the two pictures below are the perfect way for me to show you. The model on the left  is wearing ankle booties. Look at how short her legs look compared to the model on the right wearing nude pumps. They are wearing similar dresses with similar lengths and standing in the same position. What an amazing difference, right? And remember that the woman on the left is a model, so her legs do go on for miles; they just don’t look like it in this photo!
