The first dress style we will look at is the shirt dress. This dress type is so named because it is similar to a man's shirt, and include a collar, cuffed sleeves, and a button front. These dresses are usually made out of cotton or some other crisp fabric and have a loose fit. A belt usually used to give definition to the waist area. These dresses will fit most figures well.

Baby doll dresses are also popular right now, partially thanks to Paris Hilton. This dress type is similar to nightwear or negligees on women. It is sometimes described as an empire waist as well, but is slightly different. These dresses normally have a high waist and are shorter in length.

A wrap dress is a dress that wraps around your body and then fastens with a tie, button, snap, or other fastening method. This dress type can be clingy, so it is better for lean figures. For those of us who carry a little extra weight, this dress style may not suit you.

A micro mini dress is one of the latest fashions, but these dresses only look great on those with perfect legs and bodies. These dresses are designed very short to show a maximum of leg. The down side is that sometimes areas higher than the leg, like panties, show as well when sitting down.

No matter which dress style you choose, there are many different print and screening options available to give a dress it's own unique look. Find a dress that flatters your figure and then pick the print and fabric that is right for you. With a huge variety of fashionable dresses, finding the perfect fashion dress should be a snap.
