Wearing a mini dress is a fun and stylish trend that more and more women are choosing to indulge in. If you are petite or tall, full-figured or athletic, the mini dress offers a silhouette and style that flatters your build and sense of style. With the popularity of the mini dress and the glut of options available, there are certain things you should try to avoid when wearing mini dress.
1. Don’t Wear the Mini Dress Too Tight
While a tight dress is fine, it is always a good idea to not wear a dress too tight. A mini dress is already short and showing off a lot of leg which means that it is already sexy. If the dress shows off belly or it makes you feel unconfortable, the look is far from flattering. Usually, it is a great idea to purchase a dress based on personal measurements rather than size as many dresses are sized differently from shirts and bottoms. This means measuring hips, bust, and the smallest part of the waist before making a purchase and then buying a dress that is a bit larger than those measurements.
2. Don’t Show Too Much Skin
While it can be tempting to purchase a low-cut mini dress, the look is rarely flattering except for at clubs. Most women find that they are most flattered by not showing off cleavage with a mini dress. However, it is perfectly fine to show off shoulders and arms because these offer a lot of balance and can look very nice with a mini dress.
3.Don’t Forget Quality Undergarments
Women wearing mini dresses need to give special consideration to the undergarments they wear with the ensemble. The right support and coverage that quality undergarments provide can be one of the essential ingredients in the process. This Shapewear, especially, can imbue a woman with the confidence that wearing a mini dress demands. When it comes to briefs, there are a wide range of options available that do not ruin the appearance of a mini dress with unwanted lines and creases. Just as with paying special attention to her feet, a woman who makes an extra effort to get her undergarments right has a secret ingredient in her arsenal that adds to her ability to exude grace in a mini dress.
4. Don’t Overdo It
Last but not least, it is always a good idea to remember to not overdo it. If the event is very formal than overdoing it is perfectly fine of course, but for a party or casual wear, the idea is to keep it simple and let the dress do the talking. If the dress is simple, pair it with a statement necklace or belt, or elegant shoes. If the dress is glamorous, let it be the centre of attention and keep accessories to a minimum.
