flower long dress Petal and Pup Women's Lillee Tiered Maxi with its cascading ruffles bring texture and movement to the design Duntery Double Straps Flowers Floor-Length

These ones below are one of my own favorite styles and they come in a range of colors

For those of you that just tuned in, From Grandma with Love is a twice-monthly series that is one of my faves

Best Shirts, Tops, and Knits for the Apple Body Shape Loose Peplum (look for elastic at the waist or soft woven fabric, not constricting) Loose tee (ideally with an apple body suggested neckline) Soft-shaped fabric shirt (open cuffs are ideal) Swing/trapeze top Tunic Soft wrap top ( keep the ties gently to the side) Babydoll or empire waist (with a hem that flares out) Ruffle top ( this doesnt work for everyone) A-line silhouettes Relaxed, boyfriend button-ups Waterfall cardigan Open cardigan Open knits Avoid: Overly structured shirts, corset elements, shirts that taper in at the hem, crop tops, contrast color belt tops, or anything overly bodycon, and patterned knits Jackets for the Apple Body Shape The right jacket can look beautiful on an apple body shape, the V-shape lapel and visual neckline it creates highlights you bust nicely and visually draws the line down towards the ground (instead of horizontally)

When is the prom you are making this dress for

A rich brown shoe can soften an all black outfit, while black pants help ground lighter brown shoes

Or perhaps a dash of smoked paprika for an extra layer of smokiness
