oh i love these. i'd wear just dresses all spring and summer i think if i didn't feel a we bit overdressed for school. any ideas how to style them for class?

i would say wear it with flip flops.. (pretty ones not the plastics..) or with other types of flat sandals and wear a casual belt over it.. just loose enough to rest in your hips.... or maybe a tshirt underneat? well that's how i've been thinking to wear a dress i have...

Or you could wear it with a pair of short shorts under.

But I think that the most important thing that won't make you look overdressed in a minidress (or any other clothing) is to skip a lot of accessories that stand out a lot, and think about the fabric the dress is made of. And ofcourse don't wear highheels if your looking for a casual look. do a natural make-up too, not too much eyeshadow etc. also go for the natural hair.

The basic tips basically

I wear mine with tights and biker boots and a woolen jumper or cardigan in winter to class. If its summer I just wear rubber thongs or flats and no makeup

Ah, I love minidresses! It's one of my top 4 clothing items. And it's SO comfy to wear with stockings or leggings. It's even better than pj's!

The best minidresses are those which are so short that they're not really minidresses, but some long tank tops. The shorter the better.

Oh, minidresses are !

I love this style! I cannot wait for summer to start wearing my dresses, I might even start wearing some now with brightly coloured leggings or tights.

In the hospital I used their very big tank tops as minidresses I forgot to take one home with me.

 

[kickassgood]

any ideas for dressing them up or which styles are dressy like for a night formal party?

The Ida: how cool! When I was in hospital(s), I only got those big shirts, and they weren't even long enough to wear as mini-mini-dresses (like I often do with shirts...).

Aww, that's too bad. I've changed hospital, and I'm not sure if they have the same clothes..I think I'll bring something home anyway I'm gonna buy a tank top in size XXL or something and wear it as a minidress. Hospital-nostalgia.
