9 Fashionable Yet Work-Appropriate Ruched Dresses for Women

Last year I introduced a new vocabulary here on the blog — ruching. Have you seen that post? Today let´s take a look at how and where to wear ruched dresses.

In my blog post, ruched top, I talked about how my love for gathered sections of fabric on a cloth started way back when I didn´t even know what it´s called. I just knew that it offers a sophisticated way of hiding unwanted party of the body.

So if you have small breasts or a big tummy, ruching is a great way to hide it. But more than the strategic way to hide unflattering parts, this feature is simply sophisticated and flattering to any body type.
