Heading to a wedding, christening, birthday bash or family dinner? Celebrate in style with Damart women’s dresses. Explore the different types of dresses we offer and learn how to find the right fit for your body type, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident.
Types of dresses
With many types of dresses available, choosing the right one to suit your body type can be tricky. Discover some of the most popular styles available at Damart, including different types of dress necklines, lengths and sleeves. Once you’ve found your perfect fit, explore our occasion dresses and filter by fabric, colour and print.
Midi
Midi dresses are a timeless choice for any occasion and come in several designs. This length is flattering on all body types, whether you opt for shift, pencil, A-line or tiered dresses. Choose bright colours or eye-catching prints to make a statement.
Maxi
For a dramatic look, wear a maxi dress to your next occasion. These floor-skimming styles offer more coverage than midi dresses and pair well with heels or flat sandals. Choose floral maxi dresses in lightweight, breathable fabrics for summer events, including garden parties and weddings.
Sleeveless and short-sleeve
Sleeveless and short-sleeve dresses are perfect for spring and summer, keeping you cool on hot days and balmy evenings. Available in lightweight linen and cotton, sleeveless dresses are a must-have for warm-weather occasions, including dinners, garden parties and christenings.
Long-sleeve
Long-sleeve dresses keep you warm during autumn and winter and offer extra coverage. Our thermal dresses are perfect for cold evenings, helping you stay stylish and snug. Pair them with thermal tights for an extra layer.
Wrap-front
Wrap-front dresses are flattering on all body types and come in various designs. A popular choice for larger busts, they tie at the side to cinch in your waist. Wear wrap dresses year-round for any occasion, from christenings to weddings, graduations and parties.
A-line
A-line, pencil and bodycon dresses are the most fitted designs in our range, offering a figure-hugging silhouette. Invest in shapewear for a smooth and comfortable fit under any occasionwear dress, whether briefs, bras, camis or bodysuits.
How to dress for your body type
Although there are various guidelines to help you dress for your body type, it’s more important to learn which cuts, fabrics, colours and prints you prefer. For example, figure-hugging dresses made from stretchy fabrics can have a slimming effect when worn with shapewear. However, loose-fitting styles in lightweight fabrics may be more comfortable and breathable. Confidence is key when dressing for your body type, so if it makes you feel great – wear it!
