Flatter Your Figure: Summer Dresses for Busty Girls


Summer poses several obstacles for busty girls, with the main obstacle being the bra issue. With all the strapless, spaghetti strap, and halter options out there, ladies with a large chest can find it frustrating to find a summer dress they love with a neckline that allows them to have the proper support. Let's face it -- strapless bras just aren't for everyone.

Never fear -- there are plenty of sweet, summery dresses out there that are completely flattering for you. We want to accentuate your curves, but we don't want the bust and the cleavage to be all anyone sees. Click through the gallery for some tips on what will work best for you!

Flatter Your Figure: Best summer dresses for pear shapes


One of the best things about summer is getting to wear all those summer dresses. Honestly, what's easier? You throw on a cute little dress, a hot pair of sandals, and you're out the door! However, in order to look your very best, you'll want a cute little dress that flatters your cute little (or not so little) figure.

If you're a pear shape, meaning that your excess weight tends to gather around your butt and thighs rather than your upper body, you're in luck come summer. You might not be excited about shorts, but after you try on a few of the right summer dresses, you might not want to bother with shorts ever again. Check out the gallery to see what you should be wearing, and, of course, what you should avoid.

Crazy cravings: wooden platform sandals


Ah, summer time. Cookouts. Weekend afternoon parties. Long, warm evenings in friends' backyards. It's the season for sundresses, bare legs and pretty pedicures.

This adds up to a deep need for new sandals.

A sensible woman would get something neutral and comfortable, a pair you can wear anywhere, with anything.

Yeah. Well, good for them.

We want these crazy 4" 4.25" high, green, wooden wedge heels with a hole in the middle of them. They look moderately uncomfortable and totally hard to walk in. L-o-v-e at first sight.

They live at Target, and will come home with us for $19.99. At least we won't need to use rent money to pay for them, unlike the $700 peach suede Prada sandals smirking at us over at Neiman Marcus.

Dress of the Day: Roxy Little Miss Printed Babydoll

roxy little miss printed dressSince we have Monday off, I'm assuming that you're going to a BBQ of some sort today, and will be hanging out on the backyard patio with a tall iced tea (whether it's spiked is your call) until sundown. You need a cute little sundress!

Now normally, I think of Roxy as a fairly young brand, and usually associate it with surfing teenage girls, but for this Memorial Day weekend, Roxy's Little Miss Printed Babydoll seems so perfect, especially in this gorgeous red and white floral print. The cotton dress has a thin band to create an empire waist, and falls to a flirty mid-thigh length. At just $49.50 at Nordstrom, you won't feel bad if you get a little spot of BBQ sauce on it.

The dress also comes in the same print, but in green.

Dress of the Day: Paul Frank Tessa Dress

paul frank tessa dressWas it just me or did everyone else want to go out and buy a pretty little dress this weekend? It was very clear that spring has finally sprung, and looking through my closet, I started to wonder what I was going to do with all the black, brown and charcoal gray sweaters, dresses, and heavy jeans I had in there. I need to make room for dresses and more dresses, especially this darling dress by Paul Frank.

The Tessa Dress comes in sky blue, and was a surprise for me because the only Paul Frank things I own have cartoon monkeys on them. The dress is just as whimsical (but minus the monkeys), with pink ribbon detailing at the gently scooped neck and on the skirt, as well as feminine eyelet at the hem.

The dress is available from LukaBlu for $86.

Wear a white sundress while you can

susana monaco white strapless dressHey, we're not saying you couldn't wear white into the fall and winter, but a white sundress might be a little iffy. Since it's all of, oh, about 100 degrees here in sunny southern California, it's the perfect time to snap a little white dress and wear it until you can't wear it no more. And there is certainly no need to spring for a super expensive fabric - cotton is the coolest fabric of them all. Bluefly has them all right here - summer dresses in white. My personal favorite? Why the strapless white eyelet minidress from Susana Monaco, called "Sarah." ($222)
