Bodycon dresses are not for every occasion and they’re not trying to be. They are for when you want to look brilliant and you know it and you’re not apologising for that. The key is finding ones where the fabric has enough stretch to move with you but enough structure to hold its shape. We’ve looked at a lot of bodycon dresses and there’s a significant range in quality and cut. These are the ones that actually flatter rather than just cling. The difference matters more than you’d think.
