Not everyone is fortunate enough to have the perfect size 6 silhouette. In fact very few of us are. Short, tall, slim or plus sized we aren’t cookie cutter bodies. Thank the fashion gods that retailers are finally getting the memo on the broader markets.

If you are a plus sized woman you aren’t forced to shop that dreaded section that I dubbed “Mother of the Bride” aisle. Most women sections are filled with unflattering and un-hip looks. You are not doomed to a collared shirt with sailboat appliqué. For a sleek and trendy dress that you can wear to various occasions. The Rachel Pally White Label Short Caftan Dress is figure forgiving and provides a youthful, but classy look.

Perhaps your problem is the opposite end of the fit. Petite women face similar situations that typically find an easier, albeit more expensive, alternative solution. Having a good seamstress to alter your clothing can be wardrobe savior. A great fun and light spring dress by Curtsey features a spring green paisley printed dress that is comfortable and available in petite.

For those of you who are expecting this spring there is an option for you too. I haven’t forgotten moms-to-be. A great comfortable spring dress is the Olian Halter Maternity. It is forgiving around the belly area, but sleek enough to wear to your baby shower. It is a longer dress which could be dressed up enough for a wedding, but trendy enough for a pool party.
