Babydoll Dresses

"Goddess" Beaded Tunic Mini-Dress

Monif C., Monifc.com

The babydoll trend may sound impossible for those of us with a curvier figure, but you can make this trend work with a little extra planning. Instead of a shift that barely covers the thighs, choose a figure-friendly jersey dress that will drape around your shape without obscuring it. Wear slim trousers underneath for a little more coverage or layer a shorter babydoll tunic over a knee-length slim skirt. Buy it Here

More Tips and Tricks

  • Wear a Belt: Wear your babydoll dress with a low-slung belt if you have an hourglass figure. It will help to define your waist and trim your torso.

  • Show Those Legs: Do you have great legs? Wearing this popular spring silhouette will make your entire body look as great as your pins. If you don't want to cover up, try this style from Monif C. here.

  • Stick to Empire: Babydoll dresses look good with a high empire waistline. If you aim to hide a rounded stomach but you have athletic shoulders, try a short-sleeved tunic.
