How to Choose the Perfect Summer Dress for Your Body Type

Finding the perfect summer dress that flatters your body type is essential for feeling confident and comfortable. Here are some tips from our blog to help you select the ideal dress:

Pear-Shaped Figure:

You typically have narrower shoulders and a smaller bust, with fuller hips and thighs. For pear shaped body types, it’s all about balancing your proportions with summer dresses that have flared or A-line skirts. These styles often work to balance out the hips and thighs, drawing attention upward.

Apple-Shaped Figure:

Your bust and midsection are fuller, with slimmer legs and narrower hips. For those with an apple body type, dresses with an empire waist or gentle gathering under the bust are the perfect choice to help create shape and definition. Think flowy fabrics and v-neckline dresses that deliver a light and comfortable look.

Hourglass Figure:

Your bust and hips are balanced, with a well-defined waist. Accentuate your natural curves with a belted or fitted summer dress that works to highlight your waist in all the right places. Wrap dress styles, shirt dress, and midi dresses are always a timeless style for hourglass body types.

Rectangular Figure:

Your shoulders, waist, and hips are fairly even, with a straighter silhouette overall. Summer dresses are the perfect way to create the illusion of curves and define the waist for those with a rectangular body type. Look for dresses with a defined belt or wrap style to add a touch of softness and femininity to your look.

No matter your body type, you’ll find women’s summer dresses at Blue Bungalow that flatters your curves and makes you feel effortlessly confident. Find your perfect summer dress online at Blue Bungalow today!

How to Care for Your Summer Dress

To ensure your summer dress stays in great condition and lasts for many sunny seasons to come, it’s important to take a moment of care with your favourite new dress when washing and caring for the garment. Follow these care tips from our expert fabric care guides to keep your summer dress in its best shape through every season:

1. Wash with care: Always wash your summer dresses in cool or lukewarm water on a delicate cycle or by hand without twisting the fabric. Use a gentle detergent to protect the colour and softness of your fabric. Wash your dress with other delicate garments to prevent snags from zips or buttons.

2. Aim to airdry your dress naturally: Lay your summer dress flat or hang it to air-dry. Summer dresses, especially those made from linen, tend to dry quickly.

3. How to prevent shrinkage: To avoid shrinkage, follow care labels and avoid hot water and dryers.

4. Smoothing out wrinkles: To remove wrinkles, iron your summer dress on medium to high heat. Dampen the fabric using a water-filled spray bottle before ironing. For darker fabrics, iron inside out and over a cloth to prevent fading.

5. Storing your summer dress: During the summer, hang your summer dresses in your closet for easy access and minimal wrinkles. When storing them away for the next season, fold them neatly and keep them in a cool, dry place.
