Q. I need a dress to wear to several events this summer, like my cousin's wedding and my parents' anniversary party. What style of dresses (nothing fancy) would look best on me? I have an athletic, straight body type and would love to look girly for a day.

A. Dresses with a defined waist are so much more flattering on your body type than shapeless dresses with no defined waistline. Look for empire-waist dresses; they're your new must-have dress style! Empire waists define and highlight your waistline, while creating curves for a natural feminine shape. Add some adorable accessories and dewy-fresh makeup to the total look, and you're ready to show the world your girly side.
