FOR THE LOVE OF A DRESS

Spring is a time of newness. You can smell the freshly thawed earth, see new leaf and flower buds, new baby animals, and see new Spring silhouettes in fashion. One of the new silhouettes I am most excited about is the fluid skirts, midi and tea length hemlines on dresses in 2023. If you have been shying away from pencil skirts and sheath dresses in the past, this is the style you have been waiting for.  The fuller skirts create an hourglass silhouette. They are a wonderful option if you are curvy. The nipped in waist highlights your natural waist. Worrying about gathers creating bulk around your middle? Choose a full skirt that has box pleats that are sewn flat against the upper hip and then open to allow ease of fit through the lower hip.

The midi length is three or four inches below the knee and is a true friend to the female figure. It ends at the thinnest part of a woman’s leg and is the most flattering silhouette. The midi allows a woman sit without revealing too much during a business meeting, church service or classroom setting.

The tea length hemline is not just for formal wear anymore. This length ends at the bottom of the calf of a woman’s leg. The fashion designers are unapologetically using gorgeous floral and lots of fluid fabrics. They embrace the fully feminine look of the tea length hemline. The tea length hemline allows fluid movement. To make it look current and updated, pair it with a crop top or collarless short jacket.

Just like nature breathing a sigh of relief as the sun warms the earth and brings back the warmer temperatures, I can hear a sigh of relief from many women as they embrace the “new” silhouette of dresses for 2023: a fluid skirt and midi and tea length hemlines.
