After: A Well-Placed Print

The neck ruffle and cap sleeves of this breezy dress (Victor by Victor Alfaro, $144) enhance the upper body so it balances a larger bottom half. A slimming brown background makes the colorful pattern pop in the center. Bangles, House of Lavande and Gerard Yosca. Shoes, Casadei.

Tip: Splashy florals clustered vertically on the dress make the body look narrower.
