MacDuggal's Trapeze dress is a feminine, playful style you can have fun wearing to summer and garden parties. It's comfortable, flowy, dressy, and easy to zigzag around in while mingling with everyone at the gathering.The frock's pleats and ruffles at the bottom are ultra-flattering. Loose and lovely draping complements most body types.
Personally, I like a dress a tad longer than this MacDuggal one, the skirt to hang 1 - 2 inches above the knee. An extreme mini-dress is also more casual and less versatile.
Right before the pandemic, I saw a famous award-winning actress (who stands 9 1/2 inches tall) inside William-Somona at Columbus Circle in Manhattan. She wore a designer mini-mini dress that was the wrong proportion for her very long legs despite her well-toned attractive body. Unless your petite frame has short legs, a mini-mini dress makes you look out of balance, like you are all legs. A human daddy-long-legs isn't as chic as one would think! IMHO ruffles at the bottom of this trapeze dress are enough of a good thing. The halter with pleats and bottle ruffles (pictured above in pink and blue) is much cuter than the green dress with no pleats and additional ruffles on sleeves. Perhaps because more ruffles are too much of a good thing?
Then again, what else would you wear in a breeze? What do you think? Are the ruffles on the cape too much of a good thing? Is it the short length that throws everything else (including having a cape) off?
Overall, the trapeze style is an adorable dress for the summer.
