How to wear a ruffle dress?

• Ruffles play with your size and shape. They add volume and fullness to the part where they are added. Hence it is extremely important to understand your body type before picking up a ruffle dress. Ruffle top is a good choice if you are small busted as it adds fullness. But avoid the ruffle top if you are heavy busted. If you still prefer to wear ruffle blouse, place the ruffles vertically on a straight line dividing your top into two halves. This style provides narrow and leaner look.
  
  
• Same goes with ruffled bottom too. If you are heavily built at the bottom, ruffle skirt will only make you appear more bulky. But those with narrow hips and long legs can choose a skirt with many frills. Heavily ruffled bottom goes well with simple top.
  
  
• Ruffles surely add a dash of drama, but when overdone, you may end up looking over the top. Ruffled top or bottom, streamline the other half by wearing straight cut and well fitted clothes. When you choose a dress that has ruffles all over, stick to knee length rather than the full length.
  
  
• While wearing a ruffle dress, keep your accessories to minimum. Let the ruffles steal the show.
