“Horizontal stripes” is one of those scary fashion phrases that brings to mind bulky torsos and ample rears.

But, as you’re no doubt well aware, the fault-finding pattern is again dominating spring’s maritime look.

Do not fear the sideways stripe. Minnie Rose’s sweater dresses can alleviate all your wide-load worries. The adorable striped numbers are so cozy and nonthreatening that you’ll actually feel compelled to do the unthinkable: try one on.

The figure-flattering dresses are cut to lengthen all body types. Soft, luxe, loose, and ultra-light, the sailor-inspired collection is made of silk and cashmere knit and is available with a v-neckline or as a tunic hoodie.

Furthermore, for just $158 the dress can service fall, winter, and spring temps — so it’s no wonder the girls are buying in bulk.

Without any actual bulk.

Available at Miele, 159 1/2 Ludlow Street, between Stanton and Rivington Streets (212-475-9240).
