New Love: Shift Dresses

Dress types have been given yet more sub headings and Shift dresses are those dresses that are slightly longer and prettier than tunics. 
Earlier I learnt today that apparently Hubert de Givenchy originally designed what we know today as the shift dress. He designed the black shift dress Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, in 1961 and the dress (along with the film) went on to become iconic. 

Flattering, flexible for all occasions and able to be dressed up or down; the shift dress has become a wardrobe staple for modern girls. The shift dress has been updated, and paisley (floral) and geometric (sharp shape) patterns are hot right now for A/W 14. Block colours are also very versatile and you can let your accessories and shoes do the work. Go forth and get one of these in your life!
