Slip dresses have become an integral part of our wardrobes. However, straight-cut dresses have one disadvantage: they hide our beautiful curves. Until now! An ingenious styling hack conjures up a completely new silhouette in seconds.
The slip dress, which is based on the slip dress from the lingerie department and is usually made of a shimmering satin fabric, is so popular because it is incredibly versatile. And that doesn’t necessarily just mean its structure, length or cut, but rather it offers numerous styling possibilities. It is simple but can also be styled glamorously at the same time. From rocking to sexy to conservative – with the right trend pieces, the slip dress always works.
Styling hack makes slip dresses even more wearable
Hardly any other dress has been worn as much in the last summer seasons and of course in winter as slip dresses. The numerous styling combinations are tempting. However, the straight cut of the smock dress can sometimes become a problem. Especially women who want to emphasize their curves have to use a belt again and again – until now! Blogger Sheryl Luke has a simple yet ingenious styling hack that gives slip dresses a little more contour.
The styling trick is that simple
Sheryl shows up in her reel on Instagram wearing a silver slip dress with long sleeves. The fabric falls a little too far on the stomach – a bracelet and a hair tie should help. That’s how it works:
- First, the ring is placed on the outside of the waist.
- With the other hand, the dress is gathered up at the side and placed over the ring.
- Finally, use the hair tie to stretch the dress over the ring and then lower the rest of the dress down again.
More styling alternatives for the slip dress
If you don’t have a ring available, you can also help yourself with an XL shirt, maybe stolen from your boyfriend or partner. To do this, pull the shirt over the dress and turn the bottom hem in at the side so that it gets tighter and shorter. Either you fix the T-shirt with a small knot and then hide it under the fabric, or you use a hair tie to fix it again. Although this variant is not quite as elegant as the one with the ring, it is still effective and conjures up a slim waist in seconds.
