Whoops! Someone's forgotten the golden rule. I know I said style recipes aren't like food recipes, therefore rules aren't hard and fast. but this one seems to be a stickler and is ALWAYS right.

What is it?

Don't show leg, if you're flashing cleavage, and vice versa. Basically, make sure that one part of your dress has more fabric on it than the other. It's not a tricky rule, it's not difficult to remember. But some women get carried away when they look in the mirror and see their body looking amazing but forget they're not swinging on a vine in the jungle somewhere. Either that or they're channeling J-Lo circa 1998 and THAT Versace dress. But J-Lo had long sleeves and a no-split maxi. The difference? HUGE. Huge.
