Halter dresses can have a very retro feel to them. Take this retro looking dress from Modcloth, for example.

If you’ve got the confidence, try a fitted halter dress on for size. Wear it for a night out on the town and accessorise with statement jewels and killer heels. Your typical Hervé Léger bandage dress will set you back hundreds of dollars but you should be able to find more affordable options from French Connection.
