Spring has sprung! We're shedding the faux fur coats and are now turning our attention towards our (slightly) warmer weather wardrobes. Lately, I've been fine-tuning my style and passing tons of pieces to charity that I've now fallen out of love with, or that simply don't make me feel gorgeous anymore. But enough of the doom and gloom, it's all about what's new to our wardrobes, right?! A new discovery of mine has been cut out dresses. Sure, I've known about them, but for years they were a no-go purely due to the concern of bending the wrong way and revealing a less than flattering silhouette. But as I've mentioned ten million times before, life is just too short to be worry about that. So, it's time to don the best cut out styles of the season, show some skin and embrace the strange tan lines!
Okay, so this cobalt blue beauty is from Karen Millen and also comes in black (currently half price!). If you watch my IG Stories, you'll have caught the template I filled in the other day declaring Karen Millen as one of my fave places to shop. No word of a lie, I'm obsessed and have been for years. If I was going to add a cut out dress to my wardrobe, it was going to be a perfectly fitting one from the brand; complete with bodycon fit and peplum flared hem. But what about the other dreamy options around right now? I've shared some of the best of the best new cut out designs below; shoulders, waist and everywhere else. Evening wear, casual, summer days - something for everything. Enjoy!
Phew! I'm buried in thoughts of cut out dresses now after having linked to all of the above! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below about cut out dresses. Love them, hate them? In the meantime... Happy Shopping!
omg, what a gorgeous dress! It looks amazing on you. I love cobalt blue. It's one of my fav shades of blue. I used it a lot in my art. I love the heels you paired it with. Nothing beats statement heels! I'm really loving this trend of decorated heels & stilettos and you're rocking it with this combo. You do look divine in this dress.
I changed up my makeup, but haven't put a thought into changing my wardrobe yet. #priorities I need to get my trench coat cleaned though. Cut Out pieces? Not so much for me. The blue dress though... gorgeous!
Wow!!! So sexy dress Gabrielle....you are amazing in this shooting!!!! Don't miss my latest post, now on my blog! Kisses from Italy and thank you for your visit, Eni
Holy Molly, you look stunning! If I would look like this, I would wear cut out dresses everyday :) I really like this type of dresses but it does not fit for my body shape so I don't really own one just yet. but you styled it amazing with the shoes and found the perfect dress as example. Have a great Sunday, beauty :) https://mihabalan.com/2018/04/08/the-ultimate-backpack-for-everyday-travel-and-everything-in-between/
I've never ventured to try cut-out dresses, although when they have the right cut detail they can look gorgeous - and really sexy too! This dress is beautiful, I love the blue shade, although I'd go for black myself. I've said before that this shade of blue really suits you!
It suits you really well, and the colour is super flattering! They're not really something I lean towards but I do think they can look really good if the cut and material is right x
You look so chic and stylish in these pictures, I love your dress so much and I bet it would look equally gorgeous in black, I've only ever tried a cut out dress once before and it was a poor fit and put me off but I'd love to find one that fit as well as this one fits you.
This dress is absoloutely made for you Gabrielle! I've noticed a lot of cut out fashion as of late and I'm very tempted to get on board but need to be mindful of my rather prominent hips! ;-)
I'm so in love with that dress!! That cobalt blue looks amazing on you Gabrielle!! I really need a cut out dress right now because all of them look so stylish!
Oh my gosh you are a total BABE. I love love LOVE this dress on you. It's so stunning from the shape, to the cutouts, to the beautiful color. Absolute perfection <3
Oh my god you look amazing! But in this British weather were you not absolutely freezing? Karen Millen releases some of the best clothes, and I absolutely adore this dress. I definitely need to start investing in more body-hugging dresses for this Summer - I plan on living in Madrid for a couple months haha.
Absolutely stunning in this dress. One sexy dress for shizzle! The colour compliments your skin so beautifully. This is one of my favourite Gabrielle. Love it!!
Okay, I've had the EXACT same thoughts about cut out dresses (or pieces in general). I think they're so cute but I haven't had the guts to rock one myself. My mom and I are going on a girls trip to Vegas this weekend and the shopping there is insane so... I WILL TRY ONE! Thanks for giving me the push ;). I'll let you know if I take the leap and actually buy it!
This is such a beautiful dress, I fell in love with your dress. The cobalt color and the cut of this dress is amazing. But looks more gorgeous with your killer figure.Great way to try a style without showing much. This look would never be completed without those gorgeous pair of heels. I love them. You are totally rocking girl. Have a happy Monday :) Kisses <3 http://www.rakhshanda-chamberofbeauty.com/
Wow, that dress looks incredible on you! I'm in love with your shoes too, what a beautiful colour and style! Have a lovely day :) Rosanna x Rose's Rooftop
