The Most Beautiful Dresses For a Teenage Girl

It can be hard to find a dress appropriate for your teenage girl. For instance, you would not want to get them an unflattering dress that makes them appear older than their age. Additionally, your teenage girl can also become the subject of ridicule amongst her peers. If you are a parent to a teenage girl, you have to be knowledgeable about suitable dresses for your girl. Here are four beautiful girls dresses that you can purchase today.

Sheath Dress

It is a kind of form-fitting dress that is nipped at the waistline. As a result, it emphasizes a girl’s curves. The dress is thus ideal for girls with an hourglass body type. Unfortunately, there are tight dresses that inconvenience a girl’s movement. Thankfully, this dress solves that problem by having slits.

With this dress, you are spoilt for choice. For example, you can have a sleeveless, short sleeve or a half sleeve one. Also, with the neckline, you can opt for a halter or V-shaped one.

To further enhance your look, you can wear a belt to emphasize your curves. An excellent belt to choose from is a colored one or a sash. The essence of such belts is to show where your waistline begins from.

Sun Dress

The dress is best for summer due to its light fabric. Most sundresses are either strapless or have a spaghetti strap. In addition, sundresses come in bright colors (yellow, green or blue) or floral print. 

Sundresses give off a minimalistic look since they have one color scheme. Most parents would agree that most multi-colored dresses are distracting. If you want an ordinary but pretty look for your teenager, then a sundress is one of the best girls dresses to get.

Empire Waist Dress

The bodice of this dress begins just below the bust and not the waistline like most dresses. This dress is ideal for teenage girls who are insecure about their bodies. For petite girls, it elongates their frame. As for plus-size women, the dress does not emphasize their waistline hence redirecting focus to their bust. 

The dress is ideal for girls attending proms, weddings or birthday parties. For formal and informal events, choose one with long and short drapes, respectively.

Bell-Sleeve Dress

It is a type of dress whose sleeves resemble bells. In addition, you can choose long or short bell-sleeves. Long bell-sleeves go until your wrist, while short bell-sleeves reach your elbow. This is yet another stylish dress ideal for teenage girls with varying body types.

For apple-shaped girls, they add volume to their arms to balance their broad shoulders. In the case of pear-shaped girls, they add volume to their arms to make them seem bigger. 

The dress is ideal for simple and bold teenage girls. If you want to for a simple look, you can get one with short bell-sleeves. For a bold look, you can get one with wide bell-sleeves.

Conclusion

Have you figured out a dress for your teenage girl? Your teenager can look stylish wearing a simple or bold dress based on the mentioned dresses. You only need to find out what kind of statement they like making with their outfits. After all, you do not want to impose a particular dress on your teenager.

1920s Flapper Dresses

The roaring 20s were an exciting time in U.S. history, and this was the decade when the Charleston was first introduced (1924). The rhythm quickly became the most popular dance of the 1920s. The Charleston craze exploded nationwide after it was performed on the Broadway stage. Fashionable young women who danced the Charleston were known as “Flappers.”

Women had won the right to vote, World War 1 had ended and prosperity was booming. Times and attitudes were changing, and female independence was on the rise. This gave way to sassy bobbed hairstyles, more streamlined dresses with shorter hemlines (to the knees), bold makeup and a tiny bit of a naughty attitude.

1920s Flapper dresses were quite the head-turning frocks of the moment, and several key accessories pulled the look altogether. Designer Coco Chanel influenced the Flapper fashion phenomena with her miles of pearls and dresses made in neutral shades like cream, beige, sand, navy and black.

My favorite part of going back to school was always back-to-school shopping. Who doesn’t want a yearly excuse for a whole new wardrobe?

Unfortunately, it’s tough for those of us who’ve left our school days to accurately predict what our middle schoolers will look trendy in and what will get them booted from the cool kids’ table at lunch. Do we really have to spend a fortune on clothes they’ll grow out of (or ruin) by Winter Formal?

The answer: no way! Stylish options are abundant—and affordable—at Sears. If you haven’t been in recently, stop by the retailer and check out their fab new options in Juniors.

#OOTD: On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink. #GoCommando

If you watched the Oscars and saw any of the afterparty fashion, you noticed a trend. Our gals were, uh, naked. And good for them, because they can pull it off better than I can – but the cutout sheer panels that took over the red carpet left little to the imagination and zero room for undies. And that’s an even scarier thought for many of us than showing our bodies.

Still, I’ve experimented with a little commando-ness here lately (mostly for utility purposes – underwear is not optimal post-spray tan), and it’s very freeing. I wondered: could I take this idea to a real outfit? Like one you wear outside, at night?

Oh yes I could. On Wednesdays, we wear pink. Continue reading #OOTD: On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink. #GoCommando
