Evening Dresses for Every Single Body Style

Filed under: evening dresses, formal, other — Tags: , , , , , , — Joyce @ 9:16 pm

Have you ever purchased a dress, or pair of pants, that you just knew was going to look smoking hot on you; you get home and try it on only to see that this same style that flattered the mannequin so freaking well isn’t exactly showing your best features off in the same way? No need to freak. This happens, but it isn’t because we’re lop-sided or off-kilter, we are all created differently and we all have a design of our own. With this type of individualized body how do we fit anything right then? We all have a flattering side we just have to find the look that flatters our uniqueness; by finding that oh-so-perfect fit we can all make the most out of our shape and our style-dollar.
Each body size and type has its own style-solution. This solution will be the end of your guessing-days. Whatever you do: Stop imitating the mannequin. They are inflated clothes hangers, not mirrored images of Real-Women! The first body type is the Top-Heavy body type. This involves a larger top and smaller base; big breasts, medium-width shoulders, a short waist with skinny yet long legs. Or a square shaped, heavy top with large breasts, a big tummy and a broader back with still-slender legs. If this is you: wear dresses that have shape to them, but no skin-tight anything! No tight clothing, no high-waist anything, no tight shirts, you want dresses that draws attention to your bottom half. No ruffles, spaghetti straps, or extravagant necklines. Wear flared skirts and dresses that draw attention to the waist. Bell-bottom flares are great for slender legs. And go for dress-jackets with shape and one to two buttons just under the breasts.
If You Want More Curves: Look a bit more voluptuous in a dress that’s either a fitted sheath style, or A-Line Evening Dresses that gives the appearance of curves, but also help to accentuate your slender figure. Skip dresses that are strapless which tends to make the shoulder and neck areas appear even thinner.
If You Want to Downplay Your Hips: Choose ball gowns or full-skirted dresses that make the waist appear thinner and also hide larger hips. Avoid any style that’s form-fitting or that features V-Neck Evening Dresses, which causes the eyes to look downward making the hip area appear wider.
If You Want to Minimize the Bust: Again, strictly avoid dresses with V-necklines and look for those that feature Sweetheart Evening Dresses that will help to accentuate the shoulders and minimize larger bust lines. Also steer clear of dresses covered in embellishments or busy styles that tend to make the chest appear bigger, as well as “fussier” fabrics such as velvets, taffeta, organza or organdy.
If You Want to Hide a Large Backside: Avoid anything in clingy material or Sheath Evening Dresses, and choose from full-skirted gowns and dresses that will help to hide both your bottom and hips, if needed. Dresses with form-fitting bodices are also perfect for creating that enviable hourglass figure.
If You Want to Minimize a Pear-Shaped Body: Ball gowns with fitted bodices are great for concealing a heavier bottom and accentuating a shapely waist and bust line.
If You Want to Camouflage Your Arms: Choose dresses with sweetheart necklines, which help draw the eye to the bust and away from the arms. You’ll obviously want to stay away from Strapless Evening Dresses or those with thin spaghetti straps and instead opt for those with short to medium length sleeves or those with lacey or silky see-through sleeves. If you really must have a strapless gown, choose one that comes with an accompanying scarf or wrap, or buy one that matches or enhances your dress.
If You Want to Flatten the Tummy: Choose either Empire Waist Evening Dresses – definitely the way to go if you want to hide the stomach area and make it appear flatter – or one that features a corset-style bodice to make the waist seem smaller and the bust larger.
If You Want to Look Taller: Stay away from elaborate ball gown style dresses or those that flare out all way to the floor. Instead, opt for an A-line, sheath, or silhouette style dress that helps to draw the eye downward and elongate the figure. Remember, when you’re on the petite side, less is always more as a dress that’s too busy will be overwhelming and make you appear even shorter.
These tricks are great for women with wider proportions on the upper and lower halves. The tricks of the trade can add definition and depth where it is needed and take away unflattering combinations.

Get It Right When Shopping for a Homecoming Dress

Filed under: evening dresses, other — Tags: , , , , — Kelvin @ 7:21 am

Although homecoming is mostly about rooting for the home team at the big game, school spirit, and having a great time with friends and classmates, we girls know that the most important part of the whole entire night is our dress and what exactly we’ll be wearing for this monumental event. The homecoming dance is the perfect excuse to get all dolled up, feel like a princess and make memories that will last a lifetime – but how do you decide what kind of dress to wear, modest prom dresses or sexy prom dresses?
Even before taking your figure and your own personal tastes or style into consideration, find out what the overall theme or formality level of the dance will be. While prom is almost always a formal affair, homecoming dances can range from the casual to dressy casual and from formal to semi-formal. If this is your first homecoming at the school, ask around to get an idea of what other girls are planning to wear. If you’re starting to look for your dress earlier than everyone else, ask a teacher or guidance counselor what to expect in terms of formality. Once you know that, you’re ready to begin your quest for the perfect homecoming dress.
Here are four popular styles of dresses often worn to special occasions like the homecoming dance and the figures they’re best suited for:
1. Empire Waist: The classic empire waist prom dresses are great for almost every figure and it never seems to go out of style. Empire waist dresses may be sleeveless or have capped sleeves, spaghetti straps or halter-necks, and the hemlines will vary from floor-length gowns to dresses that fall around the knees.
2. Halter-Necks: Halter-neck dresses are perfect for showing off your shoulders and emphasizing the upper body. Halter-necks are available in all lengths and colors. Some feature embellishments like sequins or jewels, while others are plain but just as beautiful. Wear your hair either up or down with the halter prom dresses and don’t forget the necklace and earrings.
3. Sheaths: Sheaths are clingy, figure-hugging dresses that show every single curve – and every single flaw as well – so if you’re choosing the sheath prom dresses, make sure you have the figure to pull it off. You won’t need many accessories with this style of dress as they tend to make a statement all of their own. Wearing an elegant, but understated necklace and some dangly earrings to match are enough to do the trick.
4. Shifts: Inspired by the 1960s, the shift dress has once again made a comeback and is great for homecoming as they can either be ultra glamorous or a bit on the plain side. While short prom dresses are great for showing off your legs, they’re also good for hiding a few figure flaws and can work well with either simple flats or with spiky stilettos. Play up the dress with glitzy accessories, or stay casual yet chic, depending on your own personal style.
Whatever style of homecoming dress you choose, remember to keep an open mind and try on a few different styles before making your ultimate decision. Do your research and you’ll be sure to find the right dress that looks great on you, helping to make your homecoming night as special as possible.

Elegant Formal Dresses for All Shapes and Sizes

Filed under: formal — Tags: , , — Neverland @ 3:35 am

Looking for the perfect formal dresses is meant to be exciting. From the expensive to the cheap, elegant prom dresses are fun to try on, and the search for the perfect dress is just as much a part of the experience as the big night itself. Constantly worrying about your lanky limbs, big hips or bust size, however, can really take the shine off the experience. Choosing an elegant formal dress that is just right for your body type, however, isn’t difficult. It’s just a case of remembering a few of the golden rules of fashion for different body types, and knowing how to accentuate your assets.

Elegant Formal Dresses for the Apple-Shaped Figure

The key to looking good if you have an apple-shaped body is to divert attention away from your stomach area. The best way to do this is to choose a dress that isn’t too tight, and which draws attention to the bust. Wearing a colored dress, as opposed to black Formal Dresses, is also a good idea, as the emphasis will be on the color rather than just the detail of the dress.

Dresses for the Pear-Shaped Figure

The key to choosing an elegant formal dress if you have a pear-shaped figure is to flatter the torso as much as possible and make it look longer and more balanced than it is. One way to do this is to wear empire waist Evening Dresses or Empire Waist Prom Dresses, where the waistline of the dresses sit above your natural waist. Another option is to opt for a straight-cut style, which creates a balanced look.

Dresses for the Hour-Glass Figure

People with this body type are very fortunate, as they can wear almost any elegant formal dress and still look gorgeous! If you’re lucky enough to be a true hour-glass, however, your best features are your curves and  your waist. A dress with a tapered or ruched waist, or which hugs you in all the right places, is likely to look stunning.

Dresses for the Slender or Straight Figure

If you are slender without too many curves, elegant A-line evening dresses can be very flattering and give the illusion of curves. Another option would be to choose a dress that flares at the bottom, to draw attention towards this detail. Also try to avoid wearing a dress that hugs too much.

Dresses for the Top-Heavy Figure

Elegant Halter prom dresses are often a good idea, for three reasons – they provide adequate support, they are flattering to your top half and make your body look as though it’s in proportion. If you don’t want to emphasize your bust too much and you’ve got great legs, show them off! Whether you choose a long dress with a slit, or a slightly shorter number, an elegant prom dress that flatters your legs can do wonders for your bottom half as well as your top half!

No matter what the size and shape of your body is, there are plenty of ways you can flatter your figure. Combine the right style with a color that you love and you’re sure to look stunning on the night.

The Evergreen Classic Evening Dresses

Filed under: evening dresses — Tags: , , — Neverland @ 8:50 pm

When it comes to evening dresses, I think the classic styles are your best bet, because these styles never go out of fashion.

Also in terms of colors, it’s always smart to pick up the classic colors dresses like blue, black, silver or white evening dresses, because for one you will never go wrong with such colors and two the dress won’t go obsolete after the evening night.

Here are short descriptions of the different classic evening dress styles, just to help you choose the one that will go best with your body type.

A-Line Evening Dresses

This style of evening dress hugs you snugly down to the waist, and from there it flows out as a full skirt. From top to bottom, the whole appearance is similar to the English capital alphabet ‘A’, and that’s the reason it’s known as A-line. A-Line Evening Dresses can be worn on almost any figure, except when you are overly bulky at the top.

Ball Gown Evening Dresses

This is the classic style, reminiscent of the Victorian era. It usually has deep necklines, puffed short sleeves, a clenched waist and a widespread balloon skirt which flows from the waistline till the floor. Choose this style only if you are above average in height, because small frames may look fatter in this type of evening dress.

The Empire Waist Evening Dresses

The unique feature of empire waist evening dresses is its high waistline, which is right below the bust. The skirt begins just under the bust and flows down up to the ground. This is best suited for the pear shaped women, as also for those with thicker waists. However, if you are above average, in height, you’d better not try this style.

The Sheath Evening Dresses

It is a very slim prom dress style, and the unique feature is the detailed beading and sparkle work. This style hugs your body tightly, and thus it looks good only on well toned slim bodies. And if you are tall as well, then nothing can be better.

Tea Length Evening Dress

This one is a little bit more casual in style, and the length of the dress is usually shorter as compared to most other evening dress styles. The length runs just a little below the knees, and so you must dare to wear it only if you have toned and slender legs.
