This gorgeous sheath has a flattering fit and the prettiest puff sleeves to give it an extra feminine touch.

Suppose you want an Easter dress you know you will wear repeatedly in other settings; get a wrap dress. I don’t know of any other dress that is so feminine and versatile. Yellow and white says Easter to me. This dress would also be fabulous in the middle of summer. It looks so cool and breezy.

Shirtdress styles are another great choice for Easter, and with so many feminine versions of this classic menswear in stores right now, you are sure to find one you love.

This dress reminds me of the green grass of spring. I love this striking green shade, the pretty ruched style, and the flirty bell sleeves. Plus, it’s super stretchy and soft, too. It’s a great dress for Easter or to wear all year round!
Happy Easter (coming up soon), and I hope the Easter Bunny is Good to You!
Hey Deborah, great advice. Question…what is a rule of thumb when wearing florals over 50? Is it more oversized florals more appropriate or smaller? Thanks?
Hi Sandra, Tiny florals are aging and are not really in style. The size of the florals should be in scale with your proportions. For example, a petite woman will drown in large florals-so she should choose small to medium. A medium-size woman can wear small to large prints. A full-figured woman looks best in medium-sized photos. Small and large florals will exaggerate a large frame.
I love the dresses – but I would NEVER spend over $100 on a dress. Ever. Except for my wedding.
Me to. I used coupons code for clothing, and it’s the perfect way to save big. Last week I bought some outfits for summer and got 60% off using a coupon code.
Thank you for this infusion of all things spring. Pretty dresses with sleeves, blush accessories, yes, yes! I’m craving florals and the lightness of spring.
