Tunic Dress

A tunic dress is a loose-fitting garment with either long or short sleeves. It might be unbelievable but these dresses were initially worn by men and not women. Tunic dresses were worn by men of the Roman civilization. This is a great addition to any wardrobe.

It is a simple pullover garment that is easy to wear, versatile and flattering to any figure. These garments have been around for a very long time and they are here to stay. Women, most especially adore them. It is a must-have in a woman’s wardrobe, along with the shirtdress, the white shirt and the plaid shirts.

The cloth’s length extends to the knees or up to the middle of the thighs and ankles. They have an opening for the head. It is very easy to wear, stylish and comfortable. The word tunic is derived from the Latin word “Tunica”, which means earlier Greek garment. Tunics are available in a number of lengths and styles.

Examples are smocks and beautiful frills. These clothes look stylish when worn over slim boots, leggings, or skinny jeans. Flaws can be easily covered by these fashion statements. Flabby things and large tummies can be easily concealed.

Short Dress

These end above the hips and look simply divine on skinny women. These also give the illusion of larger breasts, which is very good news for women who are not that gifted in that area. Women who have large or round hips or waists should steer clear of this design. The material clings to the body when blown by the wind so it is not very good when it comes to hiding a large stomach.

Long Dress & Mini Dress

This style is ideal for women who are tall and lean. A long, tunic dress can hide a woman’s large hips, bottom and thighs. Choose a long tunic dress made of thick material so that it won’t cling to the body when blown by the wind. A long black tunic dress makes a very great statement.

· Mini Tunic. These look very great for nights out with girlfriends or with that special man. These are also perfect for summer. These can be paired with flat sandals or knee-high boots. For these types it is essential to pick body hugging types with necklines and sleeves which suite the wearer. This is great for skinny women but large women should avoid it.

Short Sleeved Dress & Long Sleeved Dress

· Short Sleeved/Long Sleeved Dress. A dress of this kind with short sleeves reveals the top half of a woman’s arm, as well as the rest of the arm. This is not ideal for women who have flabby arms. For those who are not that gifted in the arm area should just go for tunics with long sleeves.

· Dress Tops. These are trendy and popular fashion apparels. They are perfect for summer of the stretchy, light and comfortable fabric. Tunic tops are pullovers that can be extended just below the waistline. There are a few tops, though, that are longer than the standard length.
