  • Mermaid-style dresses flare at the knees and typically include tulle at the bottom.
  • Some fit and flare dresses flare out at the hips and waist.

Fabrics

  • Fabrics like silk and satin provide a soft look.
  • Tulle is the fun fabric that gives the dresses body and makes them go poof!
  • Cotton and linen are the more “natural” materials that are used for more boho dress styles.

Sequins & Beading

  • This adds a different touch to a dress, as embroidery and beading can be both boho and glam.
  • Beading adds that sparkle to a dress to make it have more of a kick.
  • Sequins are a glamorous look that shines.

Off Shoulder

  • This is a look that shows skin without showing “too much.”
  • It is a way that girls can make their dresses more breathable.

Flowing Dresses
