Several of my friends tell me that they love wearing dresses in the spring, but they’re really not into the super-sunny color options. It might be difficult to find springtime dresses that aren’t highlighted with vivid shades, but it’s certainly not impossible. This Black Bandanna Dress, for example, offers spring-ready fashion without blindingly bright colors.

Intricate details show off the alluring qualities of this dress. A surplice crossover V-neckline flirtatiously flaunts your skin. Inverted empire seaming subtly shapes your breasts, gently accentuating your contours. An established waistline creates separation and helps produce a trimmer looking midsection. The skirt portion of the dress flares out favorably and has plenty of room. Since the fabric is slightly gathered at the waistline it should drape pleasingly over your hips and legs.

Instead of using bright colors, the designers chose to use a black background with woven white accents. Mimicking common bandanna patterns, the curvaceous floral and paisley design directs attention toward key locations. Straight woven lines create edges that anchor the pattern nicely.

For pear-shaped women this dress will help draw attention upward toward your chest and shoulders. However, this outfit may not look as favorable on top-heavy women. Women who are sensitive about their arms being uncovered could pair this dress with a bolero style jacket or some other matching cardigan.
