A common misconception about loose-fitting dresses is that they’re not as flattering as fitted styles. Yes, this may be true some of the time — but when you find frocks that are loose in the right places, they can be even more captivating! In fact, boxier dresses can look slimming if the design is executed properly — and they’re far more comfortable and easy to wear.
Looser dresses can also be a key summer piece. Simply throw one on, reach for a trusty pair of sandals and you’re ready to roll! We decided to look at some of our favorite places to shop for new clothes that suit almost every body type. The frock selection below will help you find the right dress for you.
