I did not like the cut out trend when I first saw it. There I said it. I grew up in a house where I couldn’t wear spaghetti straps or shorts that didn’t cover at least half of my thigh. When I went out on my own I decided to slowly start trying things I hadn’t tried before. I found that a year after the cut out trend really took off I finally liked it on myself. I learned that for women with hips it’s important to find a cut that doesn’t sit right on the hips. Why? Uh….you know that roll you feel between your waist and hips sometimes? Cutouts are like a frame for that. No one wants a frame for their fat.

I agree, the cutouts are daring but the floral print is just so darling. It balances out!

Scandalous! Here you go again changing my mind about something. I've been pretty opposed to the cutout trend, but this dress is gorgeous and stays on the appropriate side of classy!

Love love this dress on you!! Just the right amount of skin showing. The cut out and crop looks can be so cute when done right (and SO bad when done wrong!) You look fabulous!! Have a great long weekend!

That dress is adorable!
I have a cut out dress where there's a little patch of my lower back showing. My boyfriend told me to get it but I have yet to get the courage to wear it.

I think this is really cute on you – I love the color and I think you are brave to wear the cutout dress!
It is a tough look to pull off and you definitely need the confidence.

I just tried a romper with a cutout just like that! And surprisingly, I liked it. It took some mental pep talks for me to wear it though!
Have a great day!
