Tips For Chooing Fittest Formal Dresses

Looking for a perfect plus size formal dresses that meet the standards and budget? You might have spent quite a bit time shopping for the right gown, and you want to know which among the abundant options are ideal for your body shape. 

10 formal dress shopping tips

1. Check if you need to make an appointment. Even though it was a quiet weekday, the first store we visited turned us away; shopping is by appointment only. In many ways, this makes sense: it allows for a more personalised consultation, and the time to try a number of gowns on.

2. Make sure the formal attendee-to-be wears minimal or no makeup, so there is little risk of staining the expensive garments.

3. Girls should dress appropriately, in a simple dress and shoes that are easy to take on and off. Don’t worry about taking high heels – many stores have a spare pair you can try on, or a small box for you to stand on, to get the full effect of the dress.

4. Wear a strapless bra. Many gowns are strapless.

5. Do not wear jewellery – rings, bracelets, etc – and make sure nails are neatly filed, so that nothing will “catch” on the delicate fabrics. In fact, at some stores you will be asked to don a pair of white gloves, to again protect the delicate fabrics.

6. Many stores do not permit photos. Although as a doting mother I was disappointed – I would have loved a photo of my daughter looking like a princess in her favourite gown, and to show her father – I can understand that it’s a good idea to keep it a secret until the big day. Also, I’m sure in the past people have taken photos and then had the dress made elsewhere, cheating the store of a sale.

7. Write down the dress details. Once you’ve found a dress you like, ask the staff to write the details – name, colour, price – on one of their business cards for you.

8. Find out if your store has a “dress registry”. This means that no other girl from your school will be sold the dress you have bought – not even in a different colour. We thought this was a great idea – there would be nothing worse than turning up to your formal, only to find somebody else wearing your outfit!

9. Do your research online first. You can save a lot of time by narrowing down the stores or designers you’d like to visit before hitting the streets.

10. It really is a case of you “just know” when you find the right dress. For my daughter, it just happened to be the first dress she tried on. For my niece, it was only at the last store, when she decided to try something a little bit different, that she found a style that was “just right”. You’ll know it’s the right dress when you try on other gowns, and realise that nothing else looks as good.

How To Pick Up the Suitable Bride Dresses

 Wedding ceremony is one of the most important event in woman’s life. So deciding a wedding dress is also essential.

When ever the name of the wedding comes in mind the fashion is the first thing that has to be thought. In wedding the dress and make up is thought to be necessary as it is an event of so much pomp and show. And for the bride this is the only event that makes her so much excited. At weddings usually full fashion is done. And dress collection for the weddings are too much in the market and become so much difficult to choose any one of these dresses as every dress is so much precious and attractive that the choice diverts again and again. Here are some of the bridal dresses 2013 which are used by the bride on the event of wedding for different sub events of the wedding. Usually yellow color is preferred for the ceremony of mehndi. This dress really made truly for the same event and gives its full show on the event.

 

When deciding on a color, choose one that looks good with your skin tone and complements the overall wedding colors. While some dictate that the mother of the bride should stay away from white dresses, ivory or cream ones are perfectly suitable. Black used to be considered off limits, but it is now a popular choice (and slimming as well!). Try to avoid colors that clash with the bride’s gown or that of the bridal party. For instance, if the bridesmaids are wearing pastels, you should not wear jewel tones – or black for that matter. You want to be different, but not garishly so. Ivory would be a better choice in this instance. You don’t want to look out of place in the wedding photos. Again, the guiding principle is to avoid matching or clashing. It is also a good idea to follow the wedding party as far as the length of the dress. If the bridesmaids are wearing knee length dresses, then avoid wearing a mother of the bride dress that is floor length. Something that falls just below the knees would be perfect in this situation. On the other hand, if everyone in the wedding party will be dressed in floor-length dresses, then the mother of the bride’s dress should be as well. As far as style goes, a wedding is not the time to choose something daring or too flashy. A fully-sequined dress or one that is ornately beaded is probably not the best choice. The mother of the bride should look good, but it’s important to remember that the focus should be on the bride. A good choice might be an elegant straight dress in a soft fabric with a matching jacket. For a little extra sparkle, look for something that is lined or trimmed with small rhinestones or beads. As in all fashion, remember to wear what you love, what feels comfortable, and what looks best on you. The last thing you want is to feel self-conscious in your dress. Above all else, allow yourself the time to carefully select something that both flatters you and fits in seamlessly with the rest of the wedding party.

 

 

2013 Spring Dress Matching Recommendation

Spring is everywhere! What to wear to show the world your perfect body line? How to attract the passers-by’s eye at the first sight they see you? We have some recommendation for you in terms of dressing and clothing matching.

 

With graphic stripes, punk, and modern grunge cemented as major trends this season, it’s easy to forget that spring was once dominated by floral prints, pastels, and flowy silhouettes. With the upcoming Easter weekend in mind, we decided to go back to basics and suggest ten feminine and delicate looks to wear now.

From Riiviva’s pro-grade DIY microdermabrasion device—which takes on everything from stretch marks to the tiny goosefleshy bumps, known as keratosis pilaris, along the backs of the arms and thighs—to Skinceuticals’s new hyaluronic acid–spiked Retexturizing Body Treatment and Elemental Herbology’s antioxidant-rich self-tanner, we’ve sought out the best among them. Here, our guide to getting slipdress-ready—and fast.
There are plenty of reasons to consider baring a little (or a lot of) skin this spring:

Balenciaga’s slit-to-the-thigh ruffled skirts, Rochas’s crop tops, and Alexander Wang’s perforated laser-cut dresses, to name a few. Still, after a winter’s worth of whipping winds, dry indoor heat, and general neglect, you may need a head start on exfoliating, smoothing, and hydrating your way into the season’s best body-conscious pieces.
On the professional front, microdermabrasion is probably your wisest jumping-off point. At her Institute of Skinovation in New York City, Dangene and her staff will buff everything from the neck down with a whirring diamond tip. “We do the elbows, the hands, the fingers, the toes, the heels, the knees, the stomach, the back. Every single part of the body, all in one day,” she says. There’s no downtime involved; you’ll look gorgeous, Dangene says, walking out the door.For the truly time-pressed, there’s also a promising range of next-generation at-home power tools and targeted treatments to consider.

Mild scrubs and peels serve a similar function by gently dissolving rough patches on contact. Olga Lorencin-Northrup of Los Angeles’s Kinara Skin Care Clinic & Spa suggests stopping in for a seasonal pro treatment, like her 50-minute Body Peel—a local pre-Oscars favorite that exfoliates with rice flour and glycolic and lactic acids to slough off dull skin (perfect for backless dresses, she says).

 

2013 Spring/summer Trend in Different Styles

What to wear in 2013 Spring and summer? We here provide you some hints in terms of different occasions and styles.

trouser suit

One of the slickest trends to take the office by storm this season is the trouser suit.

So, as well as ticking the comfort card, trainers are versatile too. See what fresh combinations you can concoct.

Emma’s style

 

It’s packed full of perfectly polished editors decked out in head-to-toe designer pieces, accessoried with bags and shoes that cost a small fortune. Isn’t it? Well yes and no. Of course the front row is a showcase for the hottest high-end fashion, but even the most important editors tend to mix high end with high street these days. Not least because we Brits are lucky enough to have a high street offering that’s second to none. With that in mind I am going to be wearing solely pieces from Topshop, M&S, Oasis et al as I race around the shows over the coming days. The biggest challenge? Narrowing down my options to just five outfits…

2013 Spring Etro Dresses For Fashionable Ladies

Dresses are heading on the stage of fashion as spring is approaching and sweaters are finding their position out of wardrobe. Then girls and ladies, keep in mind that dress is the necessity in your shopping list when you are planning to buy something chic and special for yourself.

Etro creates an outfit that cleverly combines two distinct looks: a one-shouldered dress features one long sleeve that appears to be “draped over” a flowered panel. Something about this ensemble seems to reflect the modern changes in China— a society moving forward without losing touch with its traditional past and modern interpretations of a Japanese bomber jacket. These satiny coats display old-school tigers in gold or red-threaded embroidery perched high up on the chest. The collection features a slew of floral prints with the occasional interspersion of geometric color-blocks here and there. Cuts are kept relatively simple with long flowing or fitted floor-length dresses and scarf tops. This entire line is cohesive as a nod to Romanticism with its prints and delicate shapes. Even if a visit to Asia is not in your near future, these garments will automatically transport you there with their beautiful and surprisingly comfortable looks.

With designers making reference to Asian fashion in their collections for this upcoming season, we want to spotlight some of our favorite takes on the trend. We thoroughly enjoy how these designers reinterpret the emblematic motifs of the East for the modern, global customer. 2013 is the Year of the Snake, which could bode well for the fashion world, as those born under this sign are supposedly clever and mysterious with superior taste.

For office ladies and women in fashion, a high-heeled shoes is necessary accessory. Many people develop high-heeled worship. Here we present you some trendy styles.

High-heeled Shoes

There is something truly decadent about wearing delicately detailed artisan craftsmanship on your feet. And this season designers became fascinated with heels.

High-heeled Shoes

On the autumn/winter 2012-13 catwalks they came in every which way and were highly worked: Filigree cages wrapped stiletto heels at Ralph Lauren; Seventies wood vinyl prints came into play at Rochas; layers of coloured sand filled hollow Perspex heels at Rodate; while models were teetering around on icy stalagmites at Chanel.  In contrast to the bright tweed of Erdem’s boots, Nicholas Kirkwood incarnated his in Constructivist style for the designer – bolting on Perspex blocks with screws deliberately left on show.

Elsewhere, Missoni took the signature house zig-zag and embroidered it onto Toblerone-shaped heels and then overlaid them with triangular-shaped studs. Yves Saint Laurent crafted shards of metallic green, gold and silver plastic into conical mirrored shards, while Consuelo Castiglioni played on contrast at Marni, lacquering heels in scarlet or gold to contrast with her shoes.

 

The fascination with decorative heels travelled off the catwalk too – with designers including Rupert Sanderson, Pierre Hardy, Stuart Weitzman, Aperlai and new-comer Joanne Stoker all getting intricate. The latter was inspired by the towering columns and stain glass windows of ancient temples spotted on her travels and created a gold-leaf- effect resin that she inlaid into heels for her velvet platforms.

As they say, the devil is in the detail – what a fabulous way to uplift a pair of scruffy jeans or a simple outfit.

In a word, hurry and pick the right style for your high-heeled shoe to make a change of outfit.
