Pros
- Fun tiered end for a twist
- Flattering v neck
Cons
- Not strikingly similar to Kate's original dress
What type of dress is best for mature women?
Any dress is best for mature women, there is no type of dress that you should or shouldn't wear. If you're looking for a dress that flatters you though, opt for a long sleeve midi dress or long-sleeve maxi dress. You'll find that the majority of Kate Garraway's dresses are this length.
But what makes a long-sleeved dress so flattering? They make your arms look longer and in turn make them appear slimmer, which is perfect if that's a look you're trying to achieve.
What colour dress looks best for all occasions?
A blue will almost certainly work for any occasion you can think of, and is a perfect transitional shade for any month or season of the year. Red works too, but maybe don't choose a red for formal occasions such as a wedding. Though Kate Garraway's dresses look as though they are picked for certain occasions, the majority of them could be pulled off throughout the year.
