The 60s A-line Shift Dress Fashion Trend - Spring Summer 2009

For summer 2009 the dress fashion trend most likely to win over every age group is the 60s A-line shift dress, such as the orange brocade dress above left or these easy A-line dresses left.

Both embroidery and beads are also used to embellish these summer dresses, especially at centre fronts and necklines. This transferred trend really stems from the influence of kaftans in fashion. Centre Left - Coral Pip Dress £65 / €110 - Fusion Monsoon Spring/Summer 2009.

Even empire line dresses, like this bold bright magenta dress from Boden and the floral dress below right, are moving toward A-line silhouettes. Right - Boden Spring Summer 2009 - Magenta outfit of A-line empire dress and cashmere cropped cardigan, rose covered handbag and sling back shoes.
