When the sun is shining, nothing beats the glow of a flowery summer dress.
Floral patterns are bright, attractive and colourful, and the patterns never seem to go out of fashion.
Styles change, however, so if you’re searching out the perfect floral outfit, shop smart – you can easily find dress shapes that will still be ‘in’ next year.
If you’re feeling bold, you could try going for a bright, block-colour dress with floral accessories, such as bracelets or brooches.
There’s an endless array of petal-powered women’s fashion items, and if you’re not planning to bare your legs this season, a long, flowing flowery skirt could be an ideal way to get into the summer spirit without going overboard.
And remember that adding some colourful sandals or tights will really set off your outfit.

When it’s your daughter’s special day, you want to look and feel special with her and stand out as proud mother of the bride. So, where do you start when it comes to ladies wedding clothing?
There are endless amounts of womens dresses available, but which one is the right style for the occasion?
As mother of the bride, a knee length or ankle length dress should be on the cards. You can even pair a skirt and top, but make sure that the length is appropriate and you feel comfortable.
For a winter wedding, you may be able to get hold of a matching jacket for your dress; this will look appropriate and keep you warm for outdoor photographs, and can be taken off indoors.
For women conscious of the top of their arms, you can cover up in winter or summer with a bolero or light weight shrug.
For a summer wedding, a sun dress would look great, if you are comfortable in bright colours you could dare to wear a bold coloured summer dress or floral print sun dress, which would be great for a garden wedding.
If you are looking for something to help sculpt your waist, a thick belt may be too harsh. Instead, try tying round some ribbon as a waist belt – you could even have it made in advance to match the colours of the wedding.
If you are looking for an ultra glamorous look, there are lots of glam maxi dresses out that are appropriate for special occasions. They also hide your legs and can also look great on plus-sized women.
Other things to bear in mind are the location and style of the wedding; if it is a church wedding, bear in mind how the bride wants the wedding to look, a low cut strapless dress may not be appropriate.

The little black dress is well known for being any ladies wardrobe essential item, but it is now being given a run for it’s money with the introduction of the little white dress. The LWD is fast becoming a firm favourite this season, and is versatile enough to wear from autumn through to summer. There are many varieties and ways to wear the LWD, to adapt to suit the occasion. This look is becoming more popular with celebrities, who have often been seen this season, adorning their white dresses for red carpet events. It can be difficult to get this look right, so careful consideration needs to be made when trying this trend.
The little white dress oozes innocence and purity, so wear suitable feminine accessories to make this look your own. A little known secret about the LWD is that it can have the same, if not more of a slimming effect than the little black dress. The key to wearing this look well, is to wear the correct style to suit your shape, and to suit the occasion.Â
If you have quite a petite frame, then you are better off with a short white dress, such as a baby doll or cocktail, which will sit above your knees. This, together with a pair of high heels, will make you appear taller and more slender. The LWD always looks better with a tan, so a nice spray tan before you get ready, will really make this look more flattering. Wearing a white dress with really pale skin, can make your appearance seem slightly washed out.
If you want to hide any extra tummy bulge you might have accumulated over the festive period, a looser dress, such as a maxi, will look better for you. A white crinkle cotton sleeveless summer dress (pictured above) is a great look for during the spring/summer seasons, which will hide any problem areas. An a-line strapless dress will also flatter any figures, and will draw attention to your bust. A belt is a good addition to your little white dress, as it will accentuate your waist and make you look slimmer. This can also be said for the wrap dress, which can be suitable for all shapes and sizes, as you can adjust the wrap to create a waist. If you add a necklace to your outfit, this will also draw attention away from problem areas, and towards the bust.
Ladies with a tall, slender frame will look fabulous in a tight fitted white dress. A slit up the side will show off your legs, if this is an area you are proud of.
During the winter months, you can add a cape or fur coat to your little white dress, to keep you warm during the cold weather, for a look ideal for nights out. A pair of heels is also an essential addition to your white dress, for during the party season. If you are looking for a casual look, then a pair of knee high black boots will go well with a little white dress.
