He has finally proposed and wants you to meet his parents, but you need an outfit that is decent, flattering and trendy. Maybe you are dead set against wearing the ‘safe’ boubou. Have no fear if you are willing to stick with the tried and true. This is an outfit for you.

The outfit:
An A line dress worn with a light jacket creates a comfortable, trendy and safe solution.

The jacket covers the shoulders which is important and the dress although not floor length still remains in the realm of decency. If you might remove the jacket ensure that your dress has sleeves.

Tip:
Diagonal prints across the bust work either way. They can enhance a small bust and also minimise a fuller bust.

Fabric requirements:
Soft and fluid fabrics like chiffon, georgette, linen, bazaar, silk and satin are ideal for this outfit. (Satin and silk will make this it dressy.)

Jacket: 1 ½ -2m of double width fabric. The black fabric should be the greater quantity.

Dress: 2-2 ½ metres of double width fabric. (The taller and fuller the figure, the more the fabric required)
