Knitwear has charmed its way into the closets and wardrobes of women all over the world for decades, the soft texture of the fabric and the easiness in which it falls contouring the female figure exalting its attributes such as the bust line has made it a preferred fabric for most tops and sweaters.

But this is not the only use for this type of fabric. Dresses have been made with high success on the consuming market, especially women who are in their prime working years, a fit body or even a slightly overweighed one. In both these cases, the difference between looking mildly acceptable and looking fantastic lies on the color of the garment as well as the texture and materials in which it was knitted.

For the women that are not sure the right color palette that will go adequately with their skin and hair tones, there is always the choice of mix wear; using two different textures, fabrics or even colors in the top and bottom garments (for example, skirts) of their wardrobe will give them the opportunity to mix colors.

However, a big built woman should be aware that a skirt made of this type of fabric will cling tighter to a bulky bottom.
