It’s the one dress you can count on to carry you through most occasions. One that can be dressed up, down and accessorised easily.

Want one?  Need one?

Here are my top 9 qualities to look for:

Semi-fitted: a dress that shows some shape.

Clean lines: a dress with lines that flow freely over your body from neck to hemline uninterrupted by too many seams, ruching, draping etc.

Tailored: in other words a dress that has some fitting.  A semi-fitted style will deliver you a form flattering shape while being appropriate to most occasions and lifestyles.

Sleeveless: certainly not obligatory but a sleeveless or cap sleeve dress does allow for all types of scarves and sweaters to be added.

Minimal to Unembellished: the more details on the dress such as collar, pockets, ruffles etc the fewer options you will have to dress it up and down with accessories.

Solid Colour (or close to it): as you’ll learn you can successfully accessorize a patterned dress but it takes a little more strategy.  Solid coloured dresses allow you unlimited scope to play and experiment with accessories.

Medium Depth Colour: a medium to medium-dark colour will take you from day to night as well as being figure flattering.

A Print that Incorporates a Neutral Colour: this allows the dress to be easily layered with a jacket.

Classic Neckline: scoop, V and square necklines allow for many styles and lengths of necklaces. Unusual necklines and collars are more limiting.

Above Cleavage Neckline: an appropriate, take you anywhere, flattering depth.

Midi Length: just above the knee to mid calf like a medium colour will be flattering and versatile.

Then add accessories to:

• Create different moods
• Dress up or down
• Add your personality
• Play-up your assets
• Direct attention
• Make Fashionable
• Have fun
