How to Style the Thea Dress in Black & White Prince of Wales Check by Body Type
- Rectangle: Define your waist with a belt, a wrap silhouette, and bias cuts to introduce shape. The Thea Dress in Black & White Prince of Wales Check in Grey works well layered over a fitted base for added structure.
- Hourglass: Fitted bodices, wrap closures, and waist-defining details flatter natural curves, let the 53% acetate and 47% viscose, lined in 100% polyester skim rather than cling.
- Tall: Maxi lengths, column silhouettes, and tiered hems elongate beautifully. Vertical seaming here enhances height without overpowering proportion.
- Petite: Look for high-waisted cuts, midi lengths, and refined shoulder lines. The structured proportions of the Thea Dress in Black & White Prince of Wales Check help balance shorter frames.
