On Day 7 of the Dresses with Sleeves Challenge I have chosen a dress which I think is fabulous for creating a waist.
The right dress really can help disguise a thicker middle – unfortunately a common issue for women over 50!
A fabulous fresh spring dress. I love the way that the placement of the blue poppy print draws the eye to the waist, creating a waist even if you don’t have one!
The short sleeves are long enough to cover the upper arms – hide those bingo wings!
The square neckline is flattering.
I would keep accessories to a minimum. A pair of kitten heels and a discreet clutch .This is an ultra feminine dress. Just need an occasion to wear it!
This dress from LK Bennett is available from John Lewis and costs £245
