1. Ruffle dress with three-quarter sleeves

This form-fitting dress will complement your curves, as it hugs you in all the right places, while the ruffles keep it from being too revealing. 

R279, Zando

2. Drawstring mididress

Keep it cool with an easy-to-wear midi dress. Pull the drawstring to cinch in your waist.

3. A-line linen dress 

Linen dresses are the perfect choice for summer, and this one, with its loose-fitting cut, won’t cling in all the wrong places.

R399 to R439, Miladys

4. Longer-length printed maxi dress

A longer-length maxi dress can make you look taller and slimmer, and this button-down one is a good bet if you prefer to keep your arms and legs covered. 

R699, Mango

5. Asymmetrical wrap dress 

A wrap dress is a sure winner for day-to-night dressing. Pair this dress with statement sandals during the day, or stilettos at night. 

R399, Foschini

6. Mid-tie shirtdress

This dress will show off but not cling to your curves, and is perfect if you are shy to show your arms. Wear it with your favourite white sneakers for a day of shopping, or with platform heels for a night out.
