The Look For 2014: Cut Out Dresses‏

A cut out dress can be any style of dress. This dress can be in the short variety, up to floor length. This dress has a very special attribute, in that certain parts of the dress are actually removed. The result is that what are considered the best areas of your body are on display. For example, if you would like to showcase your toned shoulders the back seam of the dress could be altered to show more skin. A toned stomach could be displayed with the side seam altered. This style can make quite a strong statement, so pairing with more conservative or feminine pieces of fashion will help find balance. Occasions for wearing can be either formal or semi-formal, therefore perfect for the celebrity culture. Many of these dresses are of the bodycon style, which the women who wear these have their own set of guidelines to follow.

A bodycon cut out dress work best to enhance a woman with more of an hourglass shape. Bust and hip would be roughly the same size and a narrow waist. Bodycon dresses may not be the right look for a woman with small hips and a small bust because the dress will essentially not enhance anything. A bodycon dress worn on a woman with larger hips and smaller bust (pear shape) will not work either. A corset dress can form your body into this hourglass shape. A bandage dress is a more forgiving bodycon dress. This is because of the forgiving nature of the layered horizontal fabric has the ability to disguise any imperfections underneath.
Many women out there have some hesitation with a cut out design. There is a misconception that cut out dresses are a bit trashy, but this is not true. With angular designs and well placed cuts this style of dress can show inner confidence and strength. The idea is balancing sexy with sophistication.

In terms of popularity, the heart cut out dress is the most often searched cut out design. This design is named because a heart design is removed from the front or back of the dress. The effect of this style is showing a bit more cleavage or a smooth back. A side cut out dress is also popular, and is designed to display an athletic waist or a pierced belly button. The most popular colors for this style are the black, white and red.
