A vertical stripe A-line dress combines the lengthening effect of the vertical lines with the flattering silhouette of an A-line cut. The A-line means the dress has volume in the skirt which is balanced by the vertical stripes that draw the eye up and down rather than across. Vertical stripes in an A-line work in cotton and cotton blends because the weight supports the silhouette while the stripes create the optical effect. The stripes are most visible in a solid color background which amplifies the lengthening effect. Vertical stripe A-line dresses work in both casual and slightly more dressed contexts depending on the stripe width and color choice. The vertical stripe effect works on all body types because it’s a visual effect not a fit trick. These are the vertical stripe A-line dresses that lengthen while creating flattering shape.
