Boy, do I love a fit-and-flare dress! I always feel good in a fit and flare shape. It hugs you in the right places (but hides bloating or a big lunch). When I am not sure what to wear, this tends to be what I reach for. Something simple and polished (though the strawberry print of this Ref dress is just kooky enough for me) that I know I’ll feel great in. Today, I’m rounding up a bunch of my favorite fit & flare dresses.
My Favorite Fit & Flare Dresses
This Reformation dress is a winner. I often size up in Ref, but I didn’t with this style. The other one I’ve been reaching for constantly is this one from Hill House. I really like that they’ve been using brighter colors (I sized down to a small in this style). This pretty Tuckernuck just came in the mail (it’s gorgeous; I love the seersucker), and next, I am eyeing this square-neck midi from La Ligne (such a great cut!).
Lastly, don’t sleep on Abercrombie. They have so many cute, very affordable styles. I love this tie-front mini.

thank you so much for this post!! So many of today’s flowy / caftan styles are not flattering for my body shape at all. These are GREAT!
I am so glad! Thanks for telling me 🙂 xx
Thanks for the round-up. Do you have suggestions for dresses with short or cap sleeves that are not smocked? Many of us are looking for them but they are hard to find.
I don’t really do a cap sleeve, so that is tricky. But if I see something that fits the bill, I’ll circle back and comment here!
