Paisley Print Short Sleeved Summer Dress

My favorite summer dress is a short sleeved dress with sort of a paisley pattern on it in purples, black, and white. The short sleeves are flowy and very feminine looking, and I think part of the reason I get compliments on the dress whenever I wear it. I have a small chest, but the patent leather belt that sits just under my bust really seems to flatter me and make me look like I have a bigger chest than I do. I bought the dress at JC Penney a few years ago for around $20. When I got it I thought it looked a little plain and it was a strange length so I added a black hem of fabric a few inches long so that now it comes to about my knees. It looks great with my addition.

Empire Style Spring-Summer Dress

I have a spring/summer dress that has spaghetti straps. It is in the empire style and it comes down right below the knees with a floral print of different shade of pink and maroon flowers on and ivory background that I love. It is made out of 100% cotton and washes and dries easily and leaves very little ironing. It can be for just a walk in the park or for a wedding depending on the shoes and other accessories that are worn with it. I purchased it a JC Penney’s two years ago and it is one of those dresses that doesn’t age with time. It’s the most comfortable dress that I’ve ever worn and if I could ever find another one like it I would buy it in a heartbeat.
