Selecting the Women’s Evening Dress

Women’s evening dress or dresses are found in plenty of clothing stores and these are available for various occasions. Special occasions require special dresses and in this regard women’s evening dress should be worn on such occasions. The dresses should compliment the wearer and make her look beautiful and astonishing. The prêt-e-porter clothing range available in stores and online catalogs offer sizes for small as well as full figured women.

Materials used for making the dresses

Women’s evening dress is available in a variety of materials, but the most preferred material for making the dresses is taffeta, silk, satin and polyester. The most favoured colours for the women’s evening dress are black, wine shade, turquoise, red and gold. The necklines are usually elegant and they can be both strapless and halter necks. Usually the cups are inbuilt for added support to the bust. Matching shawls are optional. The women’s evening dress is made to flatter the bust line and the waist of the wearer and to hide the back and the flabby legs.

Women’s evening dress made from satin or silk will usually have 100% polyester lining. This prevents it from tearing in the normal course of wear. Zippers are added at the back or on the side for a tight fitting look. The back can also be left bare. In this case, the wearer is given a corset fitting to ensure that the women’s evening dress does not sag and fits properly. Adjustable straps for shoulder can also be given.

The LBD (little black dress)

The LBD or the little black dress is one of the most favoured women’s evening dresses. It can be a strapless number or can be worn in a halter style. If you are uncomfortable about leaving your shoulders bare, then cover it with a matching stole. Women’s evening dress can also be found in chiffon, but chiffon requires a high degree of maintenance.

Embellishment

Women’s evening dress comes with a number of embellishments. They can come with embellishment such as embroidery, rhinestones, laces, precious stones and other fittings. The bust line may be adorned with skinny belts.

Accessorizing the dresses to compliment the looks

Stoles, boleros and ponchos are also worn along with the women’s evening dress for added effect. Lacy cardigans and jackets can also be added. Jewelry is, of course, a great accessory. Use small pendants or earrings. Diamonds and pearls are the best. Wear bracelets and long earrings.

Spring-clean Your Wardrobe

It's time for spring to clean your wardrobe, that is instead of throwing out the old, work with what you have and update your look with bargain buys.

Playing “wardrobe multiple choice” is the best way to beat the budget blues this spring, and the rules are easy to follow.

Step one:Open wardrobe, remove garments from coat hangers then try them all on. Start to experiment with different style combinations and at last go shopping to fill the gaps.

Style mixing is the new spring clean, which means hanging on to the old but adding the new. It's about revitalising what you have with a few savvy purchases.

Updating your spring wardrobe doesn't have to be a bank breaker.

Neutrals are this season's biggest buzz, though it's really a hiss because it's all about python. If you can only afford to update your wardrobe with one thing, choose a snakeskin belt, scarf or handbag. It will go with everything, including black and white, nude and bright colours, and it's classical, so you'll have it forever.

Accessorise with giant dangly earrings and wear hair short or swept up to show them off; hang a bangle on the wrist. Complete the look with nude or beige-coloured shoes, this season's must-have. They go with every outfit and are flattering, too, creating the illusion of longer legs. But don't be afraid to wear the same colours.

Worthy investment items this spring/summer include a tailored jacket and matching pencil skirt, which can be worn together or apart. The tailored jacket, nipped in at the waist, is your new best friend, suitable for office wear but also the perfect partner for a cocktail frock or maxi. The same look can also transform into rock-chick glam with the addition of studded accessories (handbag or leather cuff) and foxy footwear.
