Modern leather dresses have gone far ahead. You can not only choose a suitable dress, but also sew it. A genuine leather store offers a wide selection, and a good tailor will select the style and fit the dream dress. You can even highlight several styles of leather dresses:

– Remember that shiny skin is slightly plump as opposed to matte. And also white and light skin can visually add a couple of centimeters to you. Therefore, if you have something to hide, it is better to give preference to dark shades, combined dresses with inserts, or more hoodie than tight-fitting styles.
– For girls with curvaceous, full figure, it is better to choose dresses made of thick leather, it will emphasize the advantages and hide your flaws. Slim can choose products from thin leather.
– And, of course, the golden rule is not to dress in skin from head to toe. Let it be just a dress that will successfully complement gloves, a handbag, shoes made of another material, such as felt or suede.
