Ruffles Four Ways
Violet Ruffle Dress Luna by Josandra

Pictured above: Small ruffles adorn the bodice of the Violet Ruffle Dress Luna by Josandra ($260)

Feminine, romantic ruffles are a staple of summer fashion. Whether you love over-the-top trimmings or subtle frills, there are different variations to the ruffle trend. These four mini-dresses are perfect for summer, each sporting ruffles in thier own way.

Ella Moss Eliza Dress Rebecca Taylor Everlasting Dress
Ruffled Chambray Dress Coincidence & Chance Ruffle-Bottom Shirtdress

Pictured above:

1) Flutter Sleeves: The Ella Moss Eliza Dress ($158) has flutter sleeves and a keyhole back. A bright pink belt compliments the deep blue hue.

2) Cascading Ruffles: Rebecca Taylor's Everlasting Dress ($295) has cascading ruffles at it's v-neck for a sweet look. Washed silk and a drawstring waist keep things casual. Love the versatility of being able to wear the sleeves long or short. Everything pops in a gorgeous periwinkle shade.

3) Tiered Ruffles: For those who want their ruffles to less in-your-face, the Coincidence & Chance Shirtdress ($59) has two tiers of ruffles at the bottom of a sleeveless button down dress.

4) One-Shoulder: Channel your inner flamenco dancer with Nasty Gal's Ruffled Chambray Dress ($48). A one-shoulder style is super sexy, while the chambray fabric brings things down to earth.

I like ruffles, as long as they're not too obtrusive. I am older, and very tall, so I don't want to look ridiculous!!

mamavalveeta03 - agreed - do not like ruffles to be too over the top!
