My first request is from a close friend with a love for Skater Dresses & wanting to find one to compliment her fuller figure. Challenge accepted! :)

To start with, the Skater dress has been around since the 80s, and has been considered a re-trend for the last few years. Think fitted bodice with a circle line skirt, simple yes? Correct. They come in a huge variety of patterns, shapes and structures which allows all shapes and sizes of women to enjoy them.
A lot of women with fuller figures assume they can't wear things models are. That's simply not true. Most trends come with variety, so whatever part of your body you hate, you'll definitely find some gorgeous clothes that hide those areas.
You just have to look in the right places.
A few sites now have an extra feature for curvaceous ladies making finding the right clothes for you so simple! The best I've come across is Asos. They have an incredible range of 'curvy' clothes, including skater dresses, for sizes 14-26.
With all skater dresses the length varies with the mini (mid-thigh) being the most prominent although if you aren't ready for that yet there are midi lengths available.
The great thing about the skater dress is that it defines the waist and covers up all thewobbly bits you don't want to be seen around your bum and thighs.
Although they are traditionally high necked, strapless skater dresses (pic no.3 & no.12 below) work extra wonders for pear shapes, taking the attention away from the bum and thighs, onto the waist and bust.

 |
| £55 - Urban Outfitters Ox-blood is a great colour this season and the floral pattern is subtle but very pretty. |
 |
| £45 - Asos Checkered patterns are very on trend but the rough qualities of the pattern separate it from the rest. |
 |
| £18 - Fashion Counts The ombre effect reminds me of winter but also of summer. It will look good all year round. |
 |
| £60 - Littlewoods I love the tiger print on the bodice, very striking. |
 |
| £32 - River Island/Asos Lace is very on trend right now. 2 birds with one stone much? |
 |
| £28 - Asos 3D flower designs are very fashionable right now and look gorgeous! |
 |
| £35 - River Island/Asos The floral pattern and the monochrome gives this dress the edge. |
 |
| £28 - Asos One of my favourite lace dresses. Lovely colour, casual yet still so pretty! |
 |
| £29.99 - Missguided The ombre of this dress caught my eye straight away. I love the crochet effect of the bodice too. |
 |
| £20 - Boohoo Bold tropical prints are so striking and this one is exactly that. |
 |
| £18 - Boohoo Plain, but so classy and very elegant. |
 |
| £12 - Boohoo Strapless with a gorgeous pattern for £12 is simply a bargain! |
 |
| £18.99 - Missguided Velvet has made a huge comeback this year and I'm loving it. |
 |
| £22.99 - Missguided The contrast of the skirt and bodice is great, however the back of this dress is very different, and adds elegance. |
