A line dresses are very flattering on most every body type. This selection of three A line dresses give you just enough “pinch and poof” in all the right places. Accentuating the appearance of a tiny waist contrasted with a nice poofy skirt will give you the oh so sexy hourglass shape, and with the shorter length give you enough air circulation no matter what dress material you choose.

Another detail we absolutely love is the open back dress (see all of the above). Not only is this perfect for weddings in the warmer months, it is very sexy without making you feel overly exposed. You don’t have to worry about your dress falling off as you do with a strapless number and you can accessorize with a pretty shawl in the evening when the temperature cools down. We especially love the lace straps and overlays in these two stunning summer dresses.

If a strapless dress is on your “must have” list, then consider this dress. Delicate and breathable lace accentuates the top of the dress with a flowing full-length skirt below. The high waist is nice and can camouflage a bit of a tummy or shapely hips. The soft, light fabric of the skirt is also very feminine and pretty, with a lot of movement that is quite stunning in photos, video, and dance.

If you are very comfortable with your body and want to accentuate features such as shapely hips or long legs then this dress style might be for you. Beautiful lace embroidery overlay and a shorter length add interesting texture, patterns, and sex appeal. If you got it, flaunt it!

How and When to Announce Your Engagement

Now that he’s planned all the romantic details of how to propose and has successfully swept you off your feet, your fiancé can breathe a sigh of relief. . . or can he???!? If your parents have never met your future spouse, this can be an extreme source of anxiety. As parents, siblings, and close family are usually the first to hear the news of your engagement, it would be helpful to introduce him into conversations, prompting questions and opportunities to share more about him before bringing him over for a visit. Once you are all familiar, then you can feel reassured of you happy news being received more warmly, instead of it being a complete shock.
