Now, I'm going to talk about how to choose a bohemian dress. Bohemian dresses, you've got a variety of shops where you can go. You can go to a vintage shop, you can go to a charity shop or in high street.

They're all very popular. They also come in two sizes, two lengths, should I say. We've got the maxi length and we've got the shorter lengths.

So, you can either show your legs off or you can have the more flattering and concealing maxi dress. You notice that they all are patterned, and that's more bohemian, lots of patterns. So when choosing your bohemian dress, consider the pattern.

You have to relate it to your own body scale. So, this is a larger pattern. It's got wider spaces, so it suits a larger body scale or body frame.

This one is tighter and a bit smaller, so it would suit the smaller frame. Also, how defining the pattern is should relate to your features, your facial features. If you've got quite sharp defined features, then go for something that, a pattern that is quite defined, like this one.

If your facial features are softer, then go for a pattern that the outline is not as intense or defined. It's got a more blended look and that will harmonize your look. Also, bohemian dresses either come with empire lines or they fall straight from the top.

Empire lines are good to make your legs look longer, because they actually, it tricks away the eye into thinking that the waist starts here. Falling straight from the top is good for the boyish figure and those with a larger tummy. For the boyish figure, you could actually put a belt down below to give you some curves.

But for the tummy, the large tummy, just leave it flowing down there. And that's how you choose a bohemian dress. .
