The Sweater Dress


Introducing the sweater dress. Classy and cute. Festive for the Christmas season and all winter long. It comes in all colors, knits, designs, patterns, long-sleeved, short-sleeved, ¾ length, scoop neck, cowl neck, turtleneck…how do you know which one to choose?

The first step in choosing is to go with your gut. Which one do YOU like? Try them all on. Which color and neckline looks best on you? You can ask for advice from friends you trust, but in the end, your opinion is the only one that matters, because you’re going to be the one wearing it.

If it’s short-sleeved, wear a plain long-sleeved tee and leggings underneath. This will give it that stylish layered look that’s in for the season, plus you won’t be freezing your arms and legs off in the icy wind. Sweater dresses can be form fitting, so when buying one, think about buying a size (or two) bigger and fasten a fun, colorful belt around your waist for the curved feminine look instead (you can match the belt with your long-sleeved tee).

For a trendy, sophisticated look, pair your sweater dress with a pair of slouchy boots like these:


And all this is only some of the possibilities. Be creative. Be you. Have fun and have a Merry CHRISTmas!

  2. I'm curious: I see you have ELIZA magazine on your "blogs we love" thing...I just got there "modest" magazine...I have to say...I was NOT impressed. They had some VERY border line stuff (more specifically the ripped tights!) in the magazine, a woman in a sheer dress, with the sunlight streaming through. What is your opinion on this? Have you seen the magazine? Just curious! Don't mean to cause trouble!

  3. Hey, Natasha. Thanks for stopping by! And thanks for the heads up. I removed them from our list. I hadn't looked at the magazine, but I'd been noticing a lot of the things on the blog were a little "iffy". I originally had the blog on our list because we were "partners" in the MFB Network, along with many other modest fashion bloggers. I added your blog to our list. :)
