How to choose your long winter dress?
Here are some guidelines to help you select your ideal room:
Your long dress according to your body shape
Every silhouette deserves to be enhanced:
A-shaped figures will need volume on top to balance their proportions. The Réglisse dress from Petite Mendigote, a safari-style shirt dress with flap chest pockets, is perfectly suited.
Conversely, a V-shaped figure will prefer mid-length winter dresses that flare out at the bottom.
An X-shaped silhouette, on the other hand, will be revealed in a straight or fitted cut.
An H-shaped profile will gain in style with a fluid and belted version.
Winter's color palette and prints
Autumnal colors and deep tones like burgundy, navy blue, bottle green, and shades of brown warm up the atmosphere. Tartan, check, jacquard, or leopard prints, meanwhile, create chic, graphic touches that energize the entire outfit. We also love our Rubis bohemian winter maxi dress with its pretty floral pattern.
Details and finishes
We slip into a long-sleeved winter dress as a refuge from the cold, but we don't forget the details and finishes: patch pockets, delicate buttons, a carefully crafted neckline... So many thoughtful touches that warm the body and the heart, giving each silhouette a graceful and timeless look.
