The Short Leggy Look with High Waistlines For Spring/Summer

Hemlines for Spring/Summer are flirtatious and indecisive. Spring is about the dress. For those youthful enough in body and mind the mini-dress with the sky high hemline is the must-have dress.
A fashion trendsetter should think high-waisted empire dresses that reveal lots of thigh or at least graze the knee. The high waistline has developed as a noticeable trend in all types of clothing, including skirts, pants and jackets. Deep corset belts can easily make any dress high waisted.
Short cute dresses and micro-minis are one of the key pieces for fashion conscious women this spring. Wear them as dresses or as tunic tops over leggings, jeans or pants.
Butterfly by Matthew Williamson retro print smock dress £45 and hexagon detail bag £60. Right - Debut ivory, black & pink shanghai scoop neck empire line dress £80.

Other key pieces for Spring/Summer are also dress inspired and include the smock, the parka dress and in complete contrast, the maxi dress.
Look out for endless dress styles from the regular shift, shirt waist and empire dress to the 1920s drop waist dresses. Expect to find in a shop near you, bra dresses, lace dresses over slips, bustier and bandeau dresses, jersey Grecian asymmetric and halter neck dresses.
But the dress that surprises most is the parka worn as a dress. The dress that comforts most is the soft relaxed Jersey dress in easy shift styles that suits many situations.

This mink multi silk sleeved print tunic with beads £60/€99 is from Wallis Spring/Summer
ladies fashion range. It makes that fashionable nod to a jewelled neckline.
