Dresses for Women
Whether you are buying a formal dress, a casual style, or a semi-formal for a special occasion, these 3 simple tips can help you find the perfect fit.
Occasion
Where you will be wearing the dress is perhaps one of the most important things about it. Does the occasion call for something simple, a frilly dress with lace and ruffles, or formal attire? Look for shops or boutiques that carry the particular style of dress you need.
Style
Dresses come in all shapes and styles. You should think about what style of dress is best for your body shape. We may as well face the fact that the majority of us have figure flaws. What is great about dresses is that all of the different styles available offer us ways to cover those flaws. For example, if you feel that your hips are unflattering, perhaps a dress with a full bodice, flared skirt and natural waistline will be just what you need to draw attention away from the hips and focus on your neck and waist instead. Explore which styles and forms of dresses are most appropriate for your body type before buying a dress. Other things to consider when shopping for a dress tailored to your particular body shape are skirt length, neckline and sleeve length. Also, give some thought to what colors best compliment your skin tone.
Fit
Last but certainly not least; you should be certain that the dress fits. Try the dress on. A dress that flatters your figure should fit tightly enough to show off your features, but not so tightly that it looks cheap or cuts off your circulation. If it is too large in areas, remember that you can have it tailored to fit properly. However, if you don’t intend to have it tailored, don’t buy it if it is even slightly too big. You may end up regretting your purchase later.
