Choose the best zebra print dress according to your body type, the zebra fabric used to make the dress, the dress’ care instructions and the dress that appeals most to your personal sense of style. Wearing animal print clothing often feels like a bold choice, so be sure to select zebra clothes and dresses that you feel comfortable wearing. Also, think about the environment that you are most likely to wear the dress in or the special event that you plan to wear a zebra print dress to. Ultimately, choose the dress that is the most flattering to your figure and that makes the exact fashion statement you hope to convey.

Certain dress styles look better on certain figures than they do on others. This is true whether the dress in question is a solid color or a zebra print dress. With this in mind, try on several different dresses until you find the one that is the most flattering to your individual figure.

When shopping for a zebra print dress, pay close attention to the fabric that is used to make the dress and avoid those that are uncomfortable to wear. As important as comfort is the fabric’s care instructions. Select a dress made from a fabric that is easy to care for and that will not cause the print to fade or run together.

A zebra print dress is likely to make you stand out even in a crowd of other well-dressed women. For this reason, it is important that you feel comfortable and confident while wearing your dress since it will likely attract additional attention to you. The easiest way to accomplish this is to purchase a dress that blends nicely with your personal sense of style. While a zebra print is not an everyday fashion choice, the dress’ cut should coincide with the type of clothing you would normally wear when you are dressing up. Also, pay attention to the size of the print, as some will feel more comfortable with a large print and others more comfortable with a small one.

Choose the zebra print dress that is the most appropriate for the climate that you plan to wear the dress in. Also, think about where you intend to wear the dress and select the one that is most appropriate for the environment that you will be socializing in when you debut the dress. Give consideration to the accessories you plan to wear with the dress, as well as whether or not you will need to purchase additional accessories to go with it. Choose the zebra print dress that you believe to be the most appropriate and that you feel you can accessorize in a fashionable way.
