Consider the Occasion: Matching the Dress Code

 

Black-Tie Events

Opt for floor-length frocks in velvet, satin, or silk. Dresses such as mermaid, A-line, and sheath are classic pieces for this kind of event.
Choose black or jewel tones (emerald green, navy blue, or burgundy) for classic style.

Formal Weddings

Evening gowns for formal weddings can be softer shades such as blush, champagne,e or pastel for spring or summer weddings. Don’t wear white or ivory, out of love for the bride.

Red-Carpet or Gala Events

Be daring in statement pieces — train and intricate embroidery or a high slit or one shoulder. You need metallics such as gold, silver, or rose gold to stand out.

Seasonal Considerations

Heavy material such as velvet looks amazing for the winter and chiffon or silk, lightweight, is great for summer parties.

Identify Your Body Type: Flattering Silhouettes

 

Hourglass Body Type

Highlight your curves with princess-fit mermaid or trumpet dresses that form to the waist and flare in the hem. The waistbands and V-necklines work great too.

Apple Body Type

Dress in A-line or empire-waist styles that do not extend around the belly but instead are well-balanced. V-necklines stretch the body for a streamlined look.

Pear Body Type

Fill out your figures with A-line gowns or dresses with embellished shoulders that float up. Off-the-shoulder necklines and halter necklines are both wonderful.

Rectangle Body Type

Create a shape with evening gowns that have structured bodices, belted waists, or peplums. Fit-and-flare, wrap, or chiffon styles will do.

Petite Body Type

Gowns with no draping, deep sli, ts, or vertical slits make your frame look larger. Don’t wear too many designs or overly gathered skirts.

Tall Body Type

Most silhouettes are doable! Try bold hemlines, high slits, or train dresses for added flair.
