Unlike the strapless dress, I am putting no restrictions on who can wear a bodycon dress. If you’re worried about how you look in a tight dress, fuck it, you only live once, and this dress is too cute to pass up because of bloating.

12. Tulip Skirt
A tulip skirt is very similar to the tea-length dress, just with one minor adjustment. The skirt is cut like the petals of a tulip, there isn’t a slit that shows skin, but there are layers and usually sheer. Still fun and can add a bit of flair to the tea-length dress.

Speaking of bringing styles back, why not go even further back and wear a flapper dress. Oh come on, we all wish we were a rich person during the roaring 20s. Since time travel hasn’t been invented yet, we’ll have to settle for wearing a flapper inspired dress in 2019 instead.
