Dresses with full circle skirts

Dresses that are fitted at the waist then flare out over the legs have worn since the ‘50s and have become symbolic of feminine elegance. Whether the skirt is long, short or knee-length, the effect is still the same: the skirt swings open, twirls in a circle and is reminiscent of a bell shape. Models range from long-sleeved, crew neck or shirt neckline dresses to sleeveless dresses with a bandeau bodice or a wide variety of necklines. For fans of a “wasp waist” a maxi belt will further accentuate the silhouette.
