Animal Magic – Stylish Animal Print Dresses
September 5, 2010 by Ceri ·
Animal prints have for a long time had some slightly undesirable associations, including Bett Lynch of Coronation Street and Pat Butcher of Eastenders. Whilst animals prints can look a little harsh, tacky or over the top, they can also look really stylish. With animal print dresses, it is all about how you wear them. Picking out just the right animal print dress will ensure that you look stylish, sophisticated and on trend.
Zebra Print
The zebra print dress is one of the most on trend animal print dresses at the moment. The bold combination of black and white looks amazing when combined with accessories or shoes in bright primary colours. This beautiful and very wearable Zebra Cowl Dress by Project D by Dannii and Tabitha has an incredibly flattering cut that suits most body shapes. A really sophisticated way to wear animal prints.
Muted animal prints
By wearing a muted version of the animal print, it takes on a whole new look which is subtle and sophisticated. The softer colours look very different in comparison to the traditional bold animal prints. This is the perfect choice of animal print for a day dress and can even work for wearing to the office or into work. The neutral colours in this Lorna Animal print dress are a fresh alternative to the traditional yellow and black leopard print.
Dressed down animal print dresses
By adding a pair of hiking boots and a biker jacket to your animal dresses, you can make it more Rock and Roll than Pat Butcher avoid over accessorising instead think grunge instead of over glammed. The seasons wedge shoes are also a great choice for wearing with your animal prints, try looking for beige, sand and black. We love these zipper wedge ankle boots by Acne.
Mixing it up
Leena Animal and Lace Print Dress
Ruby Animal and Rose Print Dress
Keep your animal print dress looking fresh and up to date by combining the animal print with something else perhaps a pretty floral or lace design. This Ruby Animal and Rose Print dress by Boohoo combines roses over a leopard skin background for the perfect combinations of pretty and racy.
Small Areas of Animal Print
Some times less is definitely more and this can be true when it comes to animal print. Look for dresses with small areas of animal print for a subtle but stylish look. This Daphne dress by Motel Rocks has a great combination of black and leopard print which is sexy but not too much.
If all over animal prints are too much for you, you can still add a bit of animal magic with a LBD accessorised with some great animal print accessories.
This animal Jaquard scarf is a great accessory for the autumn or winter and for a subtle touch of animal print.
A pair of animal print pumps is the perfect footwear for a stylish daytime outfit. We love these animal print flower ballerina pumps.

Vintages dresses and styles of vintage clothes that are around today are those that have stood the test of time.

For some, they just struggle to find the right vintage clothing to fit. For all of these people, there is an answer and they can also partake in the trend for vintage style clothing by buying new clothes that are designed with some vintage inspiration.

How To Find The Perfect Women’s Dresses For Your Body Shape
June 28, 2010 by Ceri ·
Women’s dresses can be the answer to just about every style dilemma. There are dresses to suit just about every occasion, body shape and budget. Once you have worked out the best styles shapes of women’s dresses for your body shape not only will you make shopping so much easier but you will always look amazing where ever you are going. When it comes to looking good, it doesn’t really matter what shape or size you are. The important thing is that you pick the right style of dress to compliment and flatter your figure. Areas that you don’t like can be disguised or balanced out and the areas that you like can be highlighted so that they are the first thing that people notice. Clever choice of choice of your clothes whether they are plus sized dresses or petite dresses will make it look like you have your own personal stylist. So here are some top tips that stylists use to dress the four main body shapes.
Pear Shaped
A pear shape is the name used to describe ladies who tend to gain weight on their hips and thighs. They also tender to have smaller busts and waists. Flattering clothes for the pair shape will be those that skim over hips and thighs with nothing too tight fitting in this area but with a fitted top to highlight the relatively slim waist. They will also have dark colours on the bottom half and will concentrate detail and fuss to the top half. Wide or boat necks are great for balancing the hips as are wider hems and detail along the hem line. Probably the most flattering of all styles for a pear shaped lady is an a line dress. The hem should fall at about knee length (just above or below is fine).
With a black a line skirt and white top, this 2 in one dress by Ben De Lisi at Debenhams is a great work outfit for pear shaped ladies.
Apple Shaped
Apple shaped is the term used to describe ladies that tend to gain weight around their middle. They tend have slender arms and legs. Women’s dresses for the apple shape is all about finding styles that skim over the stomach area. Apple shaped ladies should avoid style that have lots of fuss, detail or belts around the torso but instead look for anything that creates a vertical or diagonal line down the torso, and dresses that show off the arms and legs. Empire lines dresses and draped dresses are both very flattering options for apple shaped ladies. The baby doll dress which is a mini version of the empire line dress will also look amazing.
This Cotton Floral Hitched Dress ticks all the right boxes for the apple shaped lady. It had a fitted top and the loose fitting body skims over the tummy area.
Hour Glass Shaped
Ladies with larger hips and bust and a comparatively small waist are described as hour glassed shape. This is a classic curvy and feminine figure that looks great with a variety of dress styles. The key thing to remember for this shape is that fitted dresses are great but they should always skim rather than cling. Hour glass shapes should always wear underwear that gives plenty of support and wear dresses fitted at the waist to highlight the slimmest part of their body. If a dress is not fitted at the waist, it can usually be cinched in with a pretty belt to give some definition.
This Hope Floral Rose Dress by Boohoo looks great on hour glass figures when the waist is highlighted with a belt in a contrasting colour.
Rectangular Shape
Ladies that have little waist definition and curves can be described as rectangular shape. They are very lucky as there is no area that they need to minimise and there are many styles of Women’s dresses that will look great on them. Dresses that help to create an illusion of curves with details like peplums or flared and puffball skirts will all look great on this body shape. Rectangle shaped ladies should avoid low waisted dresses as these can look boyish and straight up and down sheath dresses which can highlight a lack of curves. Instead they should wear bias cut dresses, full skirted dressed and shift dresses with some shape to them.
This Wispa Dress by Motel was made for ladies with a rectangular shape. The large polka dots add some interest and the slightly flaring skirt adds some shape.
