While I’ve always loved the drop-waist look on models and celebrities, I was nervous that the silhouette would pronounce my lower stomach and harshly cut into the widest part of my body: my hips. But to my surprise, Abercrombie & Fitch’s top-rated Giselle dress (shown here in two colorways) proved me wrong.
The bodice has boning and fits like a corset, which made me feel secure and gave my body definition. And unlike a traditional straight low waist, this waist is curved, landing above my belly button and slightly curving down to the sides of my hips, which I found very comfortable. The pleated skirt is also flowy and skimmed off my hips, rather than tightly hugging them, which created a nice soft line to the look.
While the black-and-white polka-dot style channels Old Hollywood and would be perfect for a black-tie wedding, the green print would add a nice pop of colour at a destination wedding.
