There’s always a look of the season, sometimes it’s as simple as a colour, sometimes it’s an accessory, and other times it might be a pairing or combination.. an aesthetic. I know I’m not the only one that has noticed this Spring/Summer dress of the season. But just in case you haven’t, let me bring it to you as (Wura and) I see.
This time around it’s a dress. More often than not, it’s in the form of a maxi but I’ve seen variations – midis and on the rare occasion, minis. Heck, I’ve seen skirts too so it really isn’t just dresses. But they all largely have the same/common features:
- A cinched waist that draws the eye in and is set up to be the focal point and key attraction of this dress. It is almost always cut as a “V” from high on the hips to the inner thigh.
- A rather bulky bust area, often times it’s ruched with a round neckline because anything else would be distracting. Too much.
- An even more excessive bottom half. You know… to give the illusion of that coke bottle body (do people still say this or have I officially aged?).
I’m not sure you could tell from my description, but this dress is definitely not one of my favourites and it most definitely would not have a home in my wardrobe, but even at that, I can’t deny what it does for the female body… feminine and modest… romanticized, if sized correctly, I’d even call it elegant but at this point, I’m using the word loosely. Whatever I might think of this dress, the fact remains that it’s having a moment and if nothing else, should be appreciated for that. I’m sure it would look great on the fashion girlies!

Have you noticed this trend or am I losing it? Is it even having a moment or am I making this up? Do you like or are you on the same table as me and skipping? I’d love to know your thoughts….

PPs: I found reformer pilates in Abuja, but at 20k a class, I’m learning to be careful what I wish for, at the very least, I need to be more specific in my requests.
