The dress rises in popularity
The wedding dress in probably the most important dress

Dresses have made a come back on the fashion scene with sales soaring by 20 per cent

The dress has been an iconic clothing item for fashionable women throughout history, after making or breaking reputations on the red carpet and most recently, it has been the focal point of the impending Royal marriage.

Now, with rapidly increasing sales, dresses are fast becoming an item of choice for young women.

Tamara Sender, senior fashion analyst at Mintel, said, ‘This growth has been driven by an increasing fashion for dresses, with 2010 seeing a boom in styles such as maxi dresses, which this generation would not already own and therefore would need to add to their wardrobe.’

However, as the dress increases in popularity, the skirt has fallen, with sales found to have dropped as much as 8 per cent.
