Wanna look slimmer? Get one of these optical illusion dresses!

What is an optical illusion dress? It is a dress that has lines (curved or straight) with few blocks of colours, used to enhance the body shape. They tend to make the eyes travel vertically due to the introduction of a line. Therefore gives this illusion of a slimmer look!

The ones I am posting below are perfect if you seek to enhance your breast, thinning your waist, and make yourself curvy at the right places! It fits mostly to the Hourglass, Pear and Straight shapes. NO GO for the Apple shape as it makes their shoulders look even wider!

The optical illusion dress has been seen a lot in the Spring/Summer 2012 and this trend is continuing now in the Fall/Winter 2012-13.

Many celebrities have been using these dresses to accentuate their curves and femininity. The latest was the twilight star Kristen Stewart who was spotted few days ago wearing one of those magical dresses.

If you like this dress you have several options available now in the shops:

1- Stella McCartney dress: is high budget, perfect for the Pear body shape as it eases at the waist and gives a slimmer look to the lower part of the body due to its wide hem. It also help shoulders look bigger and define the asset (the waist). It would also work for the hourglass and straight shapes. This dress has a smart casual look. Could be dressed mornings and evenings.

2- Zara dress: is low-medium budget, would work for the Pear, Straight and Hourglass body shapes. What I love about this dress is its leather sleeves. Combining leather with other fabrics in one garment is very trendy this season.

3- Victoria Beckham dress: is high budget, perfect for straight and hourglass shapes (preferably not for the extreme Pear shape due to its taped pencil hem). This one is a great cocktail dress.
