Sweater Dress

The sweater dress is surging to popularity this season! With sleek lines, a body-hugging fit, and a variety of styles, wools, necklines, hemlines, and colors, there is sure to be a sweater dress for every woman of any size and any age!

Sweater dresses first came into mainstream fashion in the 1970's, when women began wearing them in both professional and leisure capacities, often with a pair of knee-high boots. Now, the sweater dress is back in the limelight, most fashionable with a pair of opaque tights and boots or Mary Jane pumps.

The sweater dress can be knit in a variety of fabrics. A wool sweater dress is a chunkier knit, which may provide added warmth and comfort (as far as a dress can provide!). A cashmere sweater dress is the epitome of class and luxury. A lightweight sweater dress can be worn in the winter with some cozy undergarments and a heavy overcoat, but the lightweight sweater dress can also be the perfect pick for a cool summer evening, or a brisk autumn afternoon.

Because the sweater dress is often form fitting, it is important to stress that the appropriate undergarments be chosen. The more conforming the dress, the more flaws it will highlight, so seek the advice of hosiery/undergarment expert to find the perfect accompaniments to your beautiful new sweater dress!
