I was browsing through an online store for a feature article I'm writing when I stumbled upon this beauty:
It is am Iliana halter dress by Patagonia. Besides performance sportswear, they make some gorgeous and very wearable dresses as well. Dresses that show off the sporty figure beautifully.
I like the sunny color and the cheery, yet classic pattern of the dress. The pretty band that makes it a flattering empire waist, which matches the halter tie back ribbons make this a stand out.
This is a perfect summer dress for any girl or woman with a toned (or even average) body.
Going on a summer vacation? Pack in a dress or two. Silk dresses are out because they crumple. You would need to iron those anyway and carrying an iron with you when you travel can be rather cumbersome.
Instead, go for pretty dresses that travel well and look great.
Jersey is a great material for travel. It is easy to care for. Just roll it up and pack it in. Jersey dresses are flattering too. Look at the way they hug your figure flatteringly, showing off your curves beautifully. If you look great in blue, this jersey dress is for you: Billabong Junior's Palisades Jersey Dress
Great for cool skin tones.
Here's a very pretty jersey dress in peach. A warm, spring color V-neck jersey dress
Perfect for warm skin tones.
This jersey travel dress is a beauty. A two-in-one dress. When you travel, less is more. Try to get multipurpose stuff. Like a convertible jersey dress.
This dress can be worn both ways. One side is pink. Wear that one day. Wash it at night. Once it is dry, wear it the other way. You pack in one dress but get the mileage of two dresses. That makes this a fabulous travel dress.
Jersey aside, how about a soft 100% cotton sundress? This one is a tube sundress for girls who look great in black, with a shot of color.
My sister in law gave me a wrap dress the other day. An old favourite she no longer wears. When I wore it, my hubby loved it. He said that was the first time he's seen me in something so classy. A man of few words, he rarely ever compliments me.

For curvy woman, wrap dresses are a must. You tie it to cinch your waist and flatter your figure.
