I think dresses are more fashionable now than they have ever been; and for a girly girl like me, this is great news, as I absolutely love wearing dresses.

For anyone who thinks that dresses are not their thing, now, with so many looks to choose from, you can be sure to find one that will make you look and feel gorgeous.

I find dresses so easy to wear; a one-stop route to looking good – I just pull one on, add a pair of earrings or a belt, and I’m ready to go. However, some people see dresses as a bit of a frumpy choice, or a fashion ‘no-no’.

Dresses are a one-stop route to looking good. I just pull one on and I’m ready to go.

The way to prevent a fuddy-duddy look, though, is to just go for a style that doesn’t look too much like something your nan might wear. (But having said that, my nan always looks great.) No, what I mean is, be careful not to go for something that might make you look old before your time. Again, the best trick of all is picking clothes to suit your body shape. Once you’ve got that sorted, there’ll be no stopping your girly side taking over.

The thing I love most about wearing dresses is the fact that they always look so pretty and feminine; and that is exactly how I feel when I wear one. All the big designers create loads of lovely new dresses for their summer and winter collections these days and there’s always something for everyone and every occasion – from draped, Grecian styles to crisp, cotton shifts and show-stopping diva numbers.

So this chapter is about revealing some of the best dress looks of the moment – from day dresses to party dresses, including those classic shapes to suit any style. Here I’m going to help you discover which dresses might be best for you; some looks you might want to try, and some great little styling tips that I’ve picked up along the way.
