5 Amazing dresses to see you through season changes.

It’s a pretty tricky time for shopping! The stores are starting to fill with lovely summer clothes but for most of the world the weather is still chilly. (In Singapore it’s still 32 degrees..sorry!). This can make shopping a little challenging! Enter the transitional seasonal dress. These four lovelies from Monsoon are perfect. Wear them now with tights and boots but they’ll also be great when the sun comes out. www.monsoon.co.uk – prices £59 to £95.00. Monsoon delivers internationally :).

Transitional dresses like these are also great for those who do live in warmer climates but travel for work. These will roll up neatly in your case and if you are working somewhere chillier they’ll easily be warmed up with tights and knitwear.

Which dress is right for you?
Dress 1 is best for neat hourglass or lean columns. Wide shoulders and the gentle ruffles will add some shape on a straight up and down figure, but this will be best if you are slim with some curves

Dress 2 is great for a rectangle or apple to hide a tubby tum and show of great legs. Sheer sleeves also hide batwing arms. – BEWARE – you can’t really take this one up so if it’s not short enough on you it might look a bit frumpy. This dress is about showing the gorgeous legs.

Dress 3 is lovely on a full hourglass. It’s below the knee and has a lovely tapered hem. Pear shapes should be OK because of the wide shoulders and great neckline but this will look really amazing on a size 14-16 full hourglass.

Dress 4 – Will suit most shapes but particularly great for pear shapes with all that detail across the shoulders. 

Dress 5 – Luxury satin fabric makes this more of an evening dress.  Best for neat hourglass or rectangles. Pear Shaped and full hourglass, try it on, look out for it in the sale in a few months time and I would cut 3 inches off the bottom and wear it with wide leg trousers as a tunic.  You can make this one more casual with leggings too.
