Welcome back!
Recently we discussed fit and flare dresses and looked at some suggestions. Today we are on the same topic, but with a twist, these are drop waist fit and flare dresses.
To shortly explain what these terms stand for, a fit and flare dress is one with an A-line cut and wide skirt. While the drop waist one means exactly that, a dress with a waist that is dropped, usually at the hips.
What’s great about them is that they usually have a wider cut than a typical fit and flare dress and the dropped skirt takes attention away from the hips. This makes them suitable and flattering for plus size women, too. Especially if you are chubbier on the upper body.
Plus, we need some spring and summer vibes in here to get us through the remaining days of winter.
We have included 8 options, as you will see, with the very last one being a tad special as compared to the rest. Let’s get right into it!
