I read to hand-baste the hem down, but I didnt find that necessary

Opt for a jumper dress, or cheat it slightly and buy a jumper so oversized that its mini dress length, add your chunky flat boots and youre good to go

Midi or knee-length dresses often work well for most body types, offering a balanced look

(Call it an educated guess with a 60/40 success rate.) I also avoid maxis (an ankle-length midi is that for me anyway), and wear minis sparingly since those too can be hit or miss

Avoid overly stiff or heavy fabrics like satin, which tend to look more formal and may be difficult to move in

Pair it with your favorite sandals or dress it up with heels and statement jewelry for a look thats sure to turn heads
