Recreate Seo Ye-ji's illusion dress from 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay'

If like us, you were amazed by Seo Ye-ji's waistline after watching the latest episode of K-drama It's Okay to Not Be Okay, then for sure you're thinking of ways on how to achieve the same illusion without having to starve yourself off to death.

According to reports, the candy pink ensemble is a masterpiece by fashion designer Minju Kim, a South Korean fashion designer whose works of art adorned personalities like Alexa Chung and Tan France from Netflix's Queer Eye.

The illusion from Minju Kim's ensemble can also be referenced back to Chanel's Haute Couture Spring 2014 collection which turned heads in the runway and appeared on a number of A-list celebrities like Rihanna, Blake Lively, and Kiera Knightley.

Thanks to the boxy top and the A-line skirt, any wearer would instantly give off a cinched figure exaggerating the smallest point of the body -- the waist.

If you're tempted by the waist slimming powers of this combo but don't have the bank balance of these A-list celebrities, then let us draw your attention to the formula below:

Try looking for a sixties-inspired ensemble, either in fabrics in tweed or linen, that has a detached bodice and nipped-in waist to create the illusion of a slimmer midriff.

For that instant Seo Ye-ji look, try going for pastel colors that are totally on-trend for summer and pair it with either your favorite sneakers or heels -- whatever floats your boat.
