Show off your body in a tight dress. If worn properly you can wear a tight dress to more conservative arenas (work, church, job interview).

Please note that this article will refer to tight dresses, but this doesn't mean side splitting cellulite flaunting apparel. A tight dress can be worn tastefully and can be very fashion forward. The trick is making sure the dress fits like a glove, enhances your silhouette, and is appropriate for the occasion.

To Work

If you want to accent your hips, wear bold stripes across this portion of your body. Wear this dress with full length tights and patent leather flats for a demure, yet stylish office look.

Tips

The more flashy your tight dress, the less accessories you need. Glam up basic and less accented dresses with belts, glammed up lips, funky hand bags, and bossy heels.

Opt for tailoring. If the stomach area of your dress looks like you have a pouch, or the dress's straps are too loose, consider getting the dress altered for the perfect fit.

Choose boots. Over the knee and thigh high boots are a recycled trend. A sleek form fitting short dress worn thigh high boots is sexy and trendy.

Look for little things that can be a major accent. A dress with a rear zipper says business in the front, and party in the back. Leave people impressed as you walk forward and as you walk away.
