Summer dresses for women over 50 from Afibel

As you know I am a big summer dress fan, I love nothing more than the ease of a dress when the weather is milder.  And I love that we no longer have to stress about the right footwear or wear heels with a dress, a white trainer, a ballet pump or a wedge heel are so much more practical and look bang on trend.  Add a statement bag or a fun beach bag and some pretty summer jewellery and you are good to go.

The styles from Afibel are designed to suit EVERY body, they are feminine, offer a fabulous fit and they know how to flatter your shape.  I wear a size 10 and I have been impressed with how every style I put on works on my figure.

Maybe my favourite dress from my selection is the EDIFICE a longer length floral dress with crossover neckline and tie waist.  This dress is uber flattering, the fabric is soft, has a pretty sheen and drapes over my curves.  I think the length is spot on (I am 5'2") and the pink and green pattern also has hints of blue and gold.  I picked out the gold with my accessories, adding gold jewellery, gold platform sandals and a gold clutch bag.  Really lovely for a summer event!

This navy short dress is so easy to wear, and a perfect alternative to shorts!

I thought the EXTRA a short button dress in navy was a fantastic easy to wear alternative to shorts for warm summer days and holidays. I love the v-neckline and the rope tie belt and the fact it is easy to pack, no creasing!  I'm wearing it with my Adidas Stan Smith trainers, my white sunhat from Creative DeZigns and I love the pop of colour from my beach bag.

The ESTELLE is a mid-length crossover dress in shades of green and purple, it has a dropped waist and a tie belt than can be removed easily as there are no belt loops.  The wrap is generous with no risk of gaping and it has pretty short sleeves.  The midi length is great with my gold wedge sandals.

The ESTELLE dress from Afibel is such a pretty floral print

Dreaming of warmer days and dress season!

Another navy dress, but I just think navy is such a classic and a softer summer alternative to black, it looks very striking paired with tan and I love the maxi length of this one, the EPERNAY is a long lose plain dress but is anything but plain (it also comes in fuschia) but the button details, the wider kimono sleeves, tie waist and v-neck add enough detail to make this dress really stand out.  Another easy to pack style, and perfect for the more changeable British weather!

Navy and tan always looks stylish together

My fedora sunhat is from a selection at Creative DeZigns that have UPF50+ sun protection

The ELIXIR is a short flared dress in fuschia and pink and with a leafy motif print, it has lovely gold edging on the neckline and is an easy to wear shape, a lovely length for holidays and would work well over swimwear with flip flops.  I am wearing it here with my Pia Rossini beach bag and gold sandals from Air & Grace.

The ELIXIR dress from Afibel would be perfect to wear over swimwear

It was so cold when I tried on these dresses to take photos, I am sure we say every year that spring feels late and we are fed up with the cold but really, it does feel much later this year, or is that just me forgetting?  I'm desperate to get my summer wardrobe out properly and can't wait to start wearing my dresses again.
