Mae West said it best, “I didn’t discover curves; I only uncovered them.”
Itโs always interesting to me when I think back about how I thought about my body back in high school. I was always feeling like I looked different because I was more of a pear shape instead of a tall glass of water. It wasnโt until college that I started realizing that women come in so many different amazing shapes and sizes, and all are appreciated. Curves have become mainstream and not only are super model bodies admired, but real women with pear, rectangle or hourglass shapes are also just as desirable.
Dressing to fit your shape is a whole other task in itself, however. Knowing the best place to accent the proper focal point, or just knowing the perfect style of jeans that compliment your rear end makes dressing an art form. A majority of the things I would love to wear donโt always flatter my body and thatโs certainly a hard pill to swallow, especially for someone who loves clothing probably more than food, and has sacrificed it for clothing on multiple occasions.
One clothing item that Iโve particularly have fallen in love with is the bandage dress. It flatters not only my curvy body style, but all the body styles that my close friends have as well. The bandage dress is an amazing dress style that is stretchy in material while it adheres to your shape to give you a tight and supportive shape. When I was approached by the The Kewl Shop I couldnโt help but try out this dress from their assortment of high quality dresses. Being a Herve Ledger connoisseur, I was extremely impressed with the quality of the darling beige dress that arrived. Itโs extremely wearable from day to night just simply by throwing on a blazer over top!
No matter what body shape you are, the bandage dress is a secret weapon every woman should have on hand!
