Asos TFNC Fit and Flare dress

We’ve all been there–date night starts in a couple of hours, and you’re standing in front of your closet with no clue what to put on. What if your go-to little black dress is too fancy for a movie date? And that cute swing dress you just know Zooey Deschanel would wear would be perfect…if you were going mini-golfing instead of to a wine bar. Lucky for you, we’ve rounded up a variety of dresses that will wow your date, no matter what your occasion or style!

    All these dresses are for women with no bust! I’m a size 4 who wears a C-cup. None of these would look at all flattering. How about some dresses for people without boxy frames?

      I think the Topshop one might look good on someone with a bust. Just depends on where that horizontal mesh strip falls. I really only liked the Topshop and club monaco dress. The Zara one was not flattering on the model at all.

      It’s just the demographic they’re trying to hit. fuckers.

      You might be surprised what can look good when you put it on–I’m also a 4 w/ a C cup and some boxy/shift style dresses work. It’s a matter of the fabric and how well it drapes as much as it is the cut!

    Especially loving that purple number! Nothing better than getting dressed up for Date Night :) .

    Nice dresses – particularly liked the 1st, 2nd last and last. However, most of these I would not feel comfortable wearing as a short curvy girl – most of these cuts would be unflattering on anyone shaped like me (esp the drop-waist and lace peplum right around the butt?? Nuh-uh). Love your site, but I think you should consider a larger variety of body types for these kinds of posts! Just a thought :)

    I wouldn’t wear any of these on date night. Bad choices, ladies.

    How about something for those of us that aren’t eight foot tall and 100 pounds? Not meaning to be snarky but maybe a wider range of figures should be considered when rounding up ideas for what to wear on date night (or any night)…

    Is this a joke? Most of these things are fugly

    So standing in front of the closet with 2 hours to go we have to buy all 9 dresses most of which would not suit anyone who isn’t amazingly tall and skin and bones. I just don’t like that you have to buy these particular dresses. Wouldn’t it be better to say oh the peplum one is good on casual dates etc.
