Vocab: Shift Dress

Welcome to the weekly installment of fashion vocabulary!
One of the easiest silhouettes to wear, the shift dress (Also known as a chemise) is cut straight from the shoulders down (sometimes slightly flowing away from the hip area). This cut prevents the shift dress from looking oversized and frumpy. Not to mention that its loose shape is perfect for those fat days. Probably not the best silhouette for ladies with wider hips or woman interested in showing off those curvy assets! But if you're looking for an easy to wear look this style of dress is great for you. (Dress from Wet Seal for $24.50)
Belt is up to add definition to your waist.
Sophisiticated silk shift dress from Nordstrom, $150
