I love the retro-looking shift dresses that seem to be popping up all over the place these days. Not all of them are flattering on the curvy girl, but some, like this one I snagged for 60% off at ModCloth last month, can look sleek and classy even if you're not tall and thin. I think the key is to find one that is pretty form-fitting in the chest area. If it's too loose in the chest area, it can just hang and make your body look shapeless. I also recommend pairing these dresses, which tend to run on the short side, with some sky high neutral pumps if you're a shorty like me, to elongate your legs.
In addition to being a shift dress, I love how this ModCloth dress represents another of my favorite trends, which is pairing long sleeves with a short dress length. With its understated bronze chain detail and satiny fabric, this dress made me feel so classy and glamorous that I found myself ordering glasses of champagne all night instead of my normal cocktails. That's one of the things I love about fashion...the way it can transform how you feel!
