Summer has arrived at last and the sun is shining. It is time to unpack your summer cotton dresses or alternatively treat yourself to a new one.

 

I find that a wrap dress is one of the most flattering shapes. It suits most figures. As I am quite tall I can wear a full skirted style as in the photo. Midnight blue cotton wrap dress by Winserlondon.

 

 

If you are a little more petit you might be better to choose a knee length more slim line version.

When choosing a dress I usually wear flesh coloured tights and nude shoes. This helps to elongate my legs.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  • Extremely flattering and the colour really suits you. I agree; most people do suit wrap-over dresses.

  • Love the flattering fit of a wrap dress! I am going hat shopping...I have seen so many great hats on the blogs lately...and I love yours!

  • Oh, I am glad to see you wearing the blue version of this gorgeous dress, Josephine! The perfect dress for so many occasions, isn't it? Thank you so much for the mention.
    You are taller than me, therefore I had mine shortened. I love the 3/4 sleeves a lot.

    I do hope to see you again when I am in London next time!
