Fashion Instead of a girl – barrel: 5 summer dresses that don’t even fit a slim figure

Of course, it would be convenient to divide all existing models of clothing according to body types: it is said that halter tops are for girls with “inverted triangles”, and dresses for dolls (dolls) are for high fashionistas. But in any case, there will be a dozen nuances that are important to take into account.

So, for example, the famous and versatile “boyfriend shirt” can fill out a petite girl, and fashionable parachute pants will “inflate” the waist if you choose the wrong cut. The same thing happens with the dresses in our selection: some are a clear anti-trend, and some should simply be treated with mild suspicion and definitely not bought without trying them on.

Let’s start with a loose cotton dress that you will see (I bet) in every store. Now, for example, shirt cut models and kimono variations – that is, wrap dresses – are relevant. However, if you are looking at a find without a shape, a waist line and a clear neckline, it is better to hang it up right away – shapeless models, more reminiscent of a bathrobe than a dress, do not paint anyone.

In general, a dress with a reduced waist can be very useful for girls with a tummy: a trapezoidal silhouette removes the accent from this zone and visually moves it lower. However, this trick works under two conditions: first, the shape of the trapezoid must remain clear – and in the image in the photo, the material lay unevenly on the figure. Secondly, due to an unsuccessful cut, the neck became wider, the hips became fuller, and the legs became shorter (length to the knees visually takes up centimeters of growth).

Yes, frills and frills are indeed considered a megatrend in summer 2023 – thanks to romantic mermaidcore. But take a closer look at those dresses worn by fashion bloggers and stars: the frills on their outfits gently flow down to form subtle vertical lines – this will make you slimmer.

And the sets right along the horizontal of the shoulders, as you can see in the photo, make the figure wider. In addition, this unpleasant effect is simply added by a dress with exposed shoulders, into which the neckline passes through a solid horizontal line. Add a small “triangle” instead of a straight line – it will be better!

Translucent textures are also an undeniable trend this season, as is the crochet technique. But this does not apply to large and coarse laces: clumsy patterns, reminiscent of old curtains or tablecloths, tend to give unnecessary volume. And in this case, the dress slightly increased the area of ​​the shoulders: the fault is the sleeve of inconspicuous length.

Another dangerous type of summer dress is knitted. In an ideal situation with a minimalist cut and in combination with thin sandals or clogs, they look “expensive” and relevant, but remember: tight-fitting styles will emphasize the stomach, hips and buttocks in any case. And this way they will look bigger even on the slimmest girls – so we believe in knitted dresses, but we definitely check the strength of the material and the cut!
