How to Find the Perfect Dress Online

1. Dress for Your Body Type

Dressing for your body type first comes with understanding your body type. While no body is the same, there are many categories that help you to determine what dress style might be most flattering or best suited to you. The most common body types include:

Pear-Shaped: Embrace dresses with flared skirts that flow gracefully from your waist, creating a harmonious balance with your curves.

Apple-Shaped: Discover the charm of empire waist dresses, designed to highlight your bust while offering a relaxed fit around the waist.

Hourglass: Almost any style is your canvas, but belted dresses truly showcase the symphony of your proportions, accentuating your waist with elegance.

Rectangular: Infuse curves into your look with dresses that define the waistline or add a belt for a touch of structured finesse.

How to Wash Your Blue Bungalow Dress

Caring for your Blue Bungalow dress is simple and helps keep your favourite pieces looking fresh for many seasons to come. With the right approach, your dress will hold its shape, colour and beautiful feel wear after wear. Here are a few tips from our fabric care guides:

Washing: Use cool or lukewarm water on a delicate cycle with a gentle detergent to protect the fibres and maintain the much-loved softness of your Blue Bungalow dress. This is especially important for natural fabrics like linen, cotton and rayon.

Drying: Skip the dryer and let your dress air dry by laying it flat or hanging it in the shade. This helps prevent shrinkage and keeps the fabric looking its best.

Ironing: If your dress needs a quick refresh, adjust your iron to the appropriate heat level for the fabric and lightly dampen the material before pressing. Many dresses only need a gentle steam to smooth out creases.

Storage: Hang your dresses for easy everyday access or fold them neatly when storing them between seasons. Keeping them in a cool and dry place also helps to preserve both colour and shape.

Dresses FAQs

What types of dresses are most flattering?

The most flattering style of dress for you depends on your body shape and comfort preferences. Midi and maxi dresses are most popular and suit most women, while A-line, wrap and tiered dresses create a natural shape and balance for women with curves.

What is the difference between a midi and a maxi dress?

A midi dress typically falls between the knee and mid-calf, while a maxi dress sits at the ankle or full length. Midis are great for day-to-night wear, while maxis offer slightly more coverage and a flowy, elegant look for those special occasions.

What dress styles are best for summer?

Dresses themselves are the best choice for summer! Offering extra room for a breeze and air flow, they allow you keep cool whilst being easy to maintain and throw over day or night. Lightweight dress styles such as linen dresses, cotton dresses, sleeveless dresses and relaxed-fit summer dresses are the most popular options helping to keep you cool and comfortable in the warmer weather.

How do you style a dress in winter?

Absolutely. Layer your dress with tights, a knit or cardigan, boots and a warm jacket to create a cosy, stylish winter outfit.

How do I choose the right dress size?

Use the size guide on each product page and compare the garment measurements with a dress you already own. If you need help, our customer support team can guide you to the best fit.

What shoes should I wear with a maxi or midi dress?

Maxi dresses pair well with sandals, slides or wedges, while midi dresses work beautifully with sneakers, flats or ankle boots depending on the season.

What dresses are best for work?

Work dresses are known for their modest yet stylish fashion that elevates your professional look to give you confidence in the workplace. Midi dresses, shirt dresses and simple A-line dress styles are most popular in the workplace. You can experiment with your work style and opt for a range of solid colours or subtle prints based on your personality.
