A little bit of resourcefulness can go a long way, as demonstrated by the lovely English actress, Kelly Brook, who donned two different floral skirts in one shooting day for her upcoming movie ‘Taking Stock’. What’s so resourceful about that, you ask? The actress was actually wearing dresses underneath the “Do South” tee (which we assume is a fictitious name for a coffee shop or restaurant that she is working for in the film), passing off the bottom parts quite marvelously as separate skirt pieces (not to mention, she successfully gave us a difficult time identifying her wardrobe).
Kelly had just started shooting her upcoming movie in various London places less than a week ago. On the 30th of June, she tweeted: “Start our first day of Filming tomorrow I hope the Sun shines like today so beautiful #TakingStocktheMovie”. The actress has also been busy promoting her collaboration with New Look, wherein she designed some hit bikinis for more curvaceous body types.

To use floral dresses as skirts, make sure the bodice is adequately fitting so that layering over it won’t make your top look bulky and awkward. Choose fabrics that cling to the body. For skater or flowy dresses, the hemline of the layered top should sit right on the waist of the dress. Bodycon dresses, however, are more forgiving in terms of choosing tops to layer it with.
