At 56, I found dresses that skim my tummy instead of hugging it.
Soft, draped midi dresses that float over the middle and quietly forgive what most of us would rather not think about. Three sisters here in Naples are clearing them out.
I’m 56, and for years the mirror and I had a standing disagreement about my middle. Most dresses grabbed me right where I least wanted them to.
A friend kept turning up in soft, draped dresses that skimmed straight past the tummy, and told me three sisters in Naples make them on purpose that way. Here’s what they got stubborn about.
1A drape that skims the tummy, never clings
Cut to fall away from the middle instead of gripping it, so it glides over the tummy and hips and gives you a soft, flattering line.
2Soft, breathable fabric
A light, breathable fabric that moves with you and stays cool — no sticking, no stiffness, no sweating through it in the heat.
3Prints placed to flatter
Soft florals and gentle stripes, placed so the eye travels down and out — elegant, never busy, and quietly slimming.
4Cut generous, true to size
Roomy through the middle on purpose, in a real range of sizes. Between two? Take the larger one.
5Comfortable from morning to night
Easy to sit, bend and move in, from the market to a lunch to dinner — no adjusting, no tugging.
6A flattering dress — without the price
These were $199.95. Because the sisters are retiring, they’re a fraction of that right now, while the last ones last.

I spent too many years fighting with the mirror over my middle. These are the first dresses that just let me forget about it. If that sounds like you, get your size before it clears.
