First, we love that it comes in merlot and black \u2014 two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/best-swimsuit-skin-color\/\">colors that look great on all skin tones<\/a>. We also love that the dress comes with a small belt, that accentuates the waist. The sexy lace pattern on the skirt adds interest and soft pleats make it look far more expensive than $40. To top it off, &nbsp;the gentle flare of the skirt flatters all body types. And, since it doesn&#8217;t hug the body too tightly, you&#8217;ll be comfortable wearing it all night long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bold green jumpsuit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"544\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/jumpsuit.jpeg\" alt=\"Green jumpsuit with tie at the waist\" class=\"wp-image-113853\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/jumpsuit.jpeg 544w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/jumpsuit-239x300.jpeg 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><figcaption>Lorraine Kelly Jumpsuit, $44.99, JDWilliams<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to wear a dress to a formal event!
