I have a confession to make. You ready? It’s pretty serious. Here it is:
This two-toned dress is simple but the shine and weight of the fabric adds a level of lux. Also I like the empire waist to create an illusion of height. We short girls need to think of things like that!
The simplicity of this dress is brought up a notch by two things. The high-low hemline is modern and the bright kelly green is a fun alternative to black.
I love this dress! The flowy fabric is reminiscent of a princess’s ballgown, and the periwinkle color is so different! The off-the-shoulder neckline adds a level of sophistication without baring all.
So there you have it. I would be delighted with any of these dresses. Do you notice the similarities, a pattern? My body type looks best with a fit-and-flare dress style. I am not as comfortable in shift dresses or mermaid style (like the one in the background of the above picture.) It’s not that I dislike them; I just don’t look good in that dress style because I am so short waisted.
What is your favorite fancy-schmancy dress-up dress? Do you watch the various awards? What do you like about them? I really am curious and would love to hear!

I usually only watch the red carpet, and now the awards show itself. I love all of these dresses you picked. Fit and flare is such a pretty, flattering cut!
Thanks Lana! I hope you had fun watching the red carpet!
Love those dresses!!!! I’m the same…lots of coverage is what I find appealing.
There’s no replacing class…
I always lose my comments here! Not that they were that profound…tee hee hee. You have great taste in gowns. Love all of the dresses you featured above. My fav is the first one. Just beautiful.
I’m sorry Leslie! Thanks for taking the effort of doing it again! I appreciate hearing your comments 🙂
LOVE your picks!!!
Thanks Shaunacey for stopping by!
I’m finding as I get older, my idea of glamorous has changed. I know longer want the sexy look but more a classy more elegant look that passes the rest of time. I love the dresses you chose!
Yes, maturity has way of doing that. Elegance and class needs to be brought back!
