New Year Eve Dresses For Your Body Shape!

The first and the foremost thing to do is determining your body shape, howsoever embarrassing it might be.

Apple Shape: if you have upper body larger than your lower body and weight gain tends to happen around the waistline, emphasize lesser on waist and broad shoulders. Go for dresses that are shaped but not tight. V-neck will give you more elongated look. Cinched waists or wrap tops and belted or nipped waist jackets will give illusion of a smaller waist. Empire style dresses with raised waist can camouflage the tummy. Skirts, fitted at the top and flaring at the hemline will balance the top and the bottom. Don't wear boxy blazers that make waist and rest of the body appear bigger. Instead, wear single-breasted fitted blazer after ensuring that it defines the waist but is loose enough in the chest to make you comfortable.

Pear Shape: if you have a smaller upper body and weighty hips, thighs, and legs, bring attention to the upper half of your body. Go for wider necklines like bateau, squared, or cowl necks. Jackets that fall just above the hip are better than longer ones. Vertical patterns on the lower half will give slim appearance. Wear dark colors, that don't shine, on the bottom half and lighter colors on top. A full skirt with defined waist or a full, pleated knee-length skirt will conceal a wide hip and if paired with strapless cut dress, it will highlight your smaller upper half. A funnel shaped coat with buttons on the top half or with a belt will bring attention to the waist.

Don't wear clingy skirts that highlight hips, or empire waist dresses which hides the waistline. Instead go for A-line skirt or wrap dress that will accentuate your upper half.

Hourglass Shape: if you have a defined waist and curvy upper and lower body, try to draw attention to your narrow waist, or de-emphasize breasts and hips to give impression of a longer, leaner look. Waist-defining belted garments or wrap dresses, apparels with cinched waists, high raised pants and skirts, fitted skirts and dresses, all will bring out your curves. For elongated look, go for v-necks, monochromatic colors, thin & lightweight fabrics, single buttoned jackets, or empire-waist dresses.

Don't wear tight, wide-cut pants that make the bottom appear wider. Instead wear wide legged trouser which is full but not flared.

Rectangle Shape: if you have fewer defined curves and your waist, hips & breast measurements are similar to each other, try to create illusion of curves. Scoop or v-neck tops, jackets having defined waists or flaring out from the waist, tops and blouses having details around the chest area for giving shape, draping dresses having patterns on them, halter tops, gathering and pleating on sleeves and waist, Skinny jeans hugging the hips, all will help you in creating curves. Trims such as lace, beads and waist-defining belts over shirts, cardigans, coats, etc. will also help you in your task.

Don't wear bright metallic tops to avoid attention on large chest. Don't go for white belt, instead wear dark brown one and avoid horizontal stripes that tend to make anything look wider. Try monochromatic tops and bottoms that give taller and leaner look.

How to Find The Perfect Wedding Dress

You want the perfect wedding dress, so you have made it a major focus of your pre wedding planning. There are some things you need to find from the bridal shop, before you even look at your first gown. Do you need to make an appointment to visit the shop? Does the store carry dresses you can afford Can you browse the whole collection, or do you only get to see the dresses the sales person chooses for you? If this shop doesn't carry the dress you love, can it be ordered?

Once these questions have been answered and you find a dress or two that you like, there are still more questions you need to ask. Can a particular dress be ordered with different sleeves, or neckline? What alterations can be done and what will that cost? Can you get a written estimate on the alterations? If we order the bridesmaids dresses here, can we get a discount or free alterations? Do you have headpieces and or veils that will go with my dress? How much is the deposit and when is the balance due? What are the cancellation and refund policies? Can we get a Rush on this dress if necessary? These are the most important questions to ask, but you will probably have some of your own. Beware of any shop that won't give you straight answers or written estimates. When you think you have found just the right dress, ask if they can hold it for a day or two, then go home wait at least 34 hours and go back for another look. If you still love it, then go right ahead and buy it.

On the other hand, if your mother, maid of honor, sales clerk or friend thinks a dress is perfect and you are not sure, use the same strategy. Wait a day; go back for a second look before you reject it. If a dress just doesn't feel right or you just don't like it do not yield to pressure from the store staff, friends or even Mom. It is your dress, your day, you decide.

After you have chosen your wedding dress, the clerk or the shop's seamstress will take measurements of your bust, waist and hips, and determine if the dress needs to be taken up. Just about every wedding dress needs some alterations. You will also need to go in for fittings, usually at least three times. Make sure, if your alterations are not free, that you get a written estimate. Find out if you will be able to "borrow" your dress for a portrait sitting, and return it for pressing afterwards. Pay with a credit card so that if anything goes wrong, you can dispute the payment.

You have another big decision to make. What about your headpiece and veil? The sales staff should be able to assist you in choosing a headpiece that goes with your dress. Veils come in several lengths and styles, and again the staff can help you decide which is best for you.

The veil you choose for your wedding depends on the dress you have chosen. If you are wearing a street length casual style dress you wouldn't choose a cathedral or chapel veil, both of which trail the floor. By the same token you wouldn't wear a flyaway veil, which barely brushes the shoulders, with a formal dress with a train.

Don't forget you need to get the right lingerie, shoes and jewelry, to go with your beautiful wedding dress.

Before we leave the bridal salon, there is one more detail to attend to, your bridesmaids dresses. When choosing these dresses, you need to take into consideration the ages, complexions, and body types of your attendants. Fortunately today's bridesmaid's gowns are no longer the cookie cutter dresses all in the same color, that nobody would ever wear again.

Some options for bridesmaid's dresses are to choose a color and fabric suitable for all of the women and let each of them pick a style that she is comfortable with. Or you can choose a simple a-line or empire waist dress that flatters all figures, and let the girls choose the from a color family, say purple, the options could be lilac, lavender, plum, mauve and orchid. If you do choose to have all attendants wear the same dress, they can personalize the look with small beaded purses, scarves, jewelry or shawls.

Also, be aware that the colors and your bridesmaid's wear have to complement
The color scheme of your reception, you don't want a red plan for your reception in red if your maids are wearing green, unless you are going for a Christmas look.

The wedding is over, now you have to decide what to do with that beautiful, expensive dress. You can put it on a hangar in the back of your closet, where any stains will set and be very difficult to remove at a later time. You need to ask your bridal shop or wedding consultant in advance for the name of a gown preservationist. Many dry cleaners claim to clean wedding gowns, but most are not experts in preservation.

There are two cleaning methods used by preservationists. Some use the wet cleaning method, this entails washing the dress by hand with a mild cleanser, that removes visible and invisible stains (champagne and sugar) Other companies use the dry cleaning method, where stains are pre-treated and then put in a dry cleaning machine. Once the dress is cleaned, it is wrapped in white acid free tissue paper or unbleached muslin. Ordinary tissue paper has acids that can stain and eventually eat holes in your dress. Then the wrapped dress is in is placed in an acid free or paperboard box. Sometimes the box has a viewing window of acetate. Store the box in out of direct light to keep the dress from becoming yellow.

Having your gown cleaned and packaged by a reputable preservationist can cost between $200- $400 depending on where you live. Before sending your dress off to be done, ask if the work is done on site. Also find out if you have to sign a disclaimer and sometimes say that the company is not responsible for damage done during the preservation processes, You should seek out a preservationist who will guarantee her or his work.

To help preserve your dress never wrap it in plastic, don't hang it on an ordinary wood or wire hangar, because the dress could stretch and distort from its own weight. Don't try to clean stains, this could cause them to set.

If you are all tapped out after the wedding you can do things to prolong the life of the dress. Wrap the dress in unbleached muslin, or a white sheet, and store in a sturdy box under your bed. Then as soon as you possibly can take the gown to a professional preservationist. Some day your daughter may want to wear it on her wedding day.

How to Wear Bridesmaid Dresses Again (Really!)

If there is one part of being in a wedding that is most dreaded, it is shelling out big bucks for a bridesmaid dress that you will never wear again. Yet nearly every bride assures her attendants that she has found a great dress at a great price and "you can wear it again". Fat chance, you think! Ah, but with a bit of tweaking, the bridesmaid dress can in fact have a second life. So pull all those dresses from weddings past from the back of your closet, and learn how to wear bridesmaid dresses again.

One of the keys to re-purposing a bridesmaid dress is to accessorize it in a way that does not scream "wedding". For instance, let's say that you wore a cranberry silk dupioni floor length dress in your cousin's wedding. With a matching wrap, custom bridesmaid jewelry in the wedding colors, and possibly even matching shoes, it is definitely a very traditional look for a member of the bridal party. However, taking that same dress as the base, wear your hair down and wavy, add a black fur wrap (real or faux), pop on same black crystal chandelier earrings, and wear a hot pair of black silk heels, and you will be ready to make a splash at a formal holiday party. Ta-da! It is a second life for that old bridesmaid dress!

For many women, long dresses are simply too formal to wear outside of a wedding processional. So another way to breathe new life into a dress from a past wedding is to have it shortened to knee length. That Grecian goddess chiffon dress you wore in a beach wedding last summer can become the most fabulous frock in your closet. In a shorter length, the altered dress will be much more versatile. Wear it to a cocktail party with a pair of strappy silk kitten heel shoes. Slip on a pair of beaded flats and a cropped cardigan for a first date. You could even wear it as a guest to another summer marriage.

Tailored styles have the potential to be worn for daytime, especially if the colors are fairly classic. A navy or black faille strapless dress to the knee can be worn with a little jacket and a pair of slingbacks to an office with a fairly traditional dress code. If your workplace is more relaxed, the same dress would look super cute and chic with a brightly colored cashmere cardigan and a pair of ballet flats with a print on them. Gold or silver jewelry will enhance the daytime look, especially chunkier pieces like silver or gold charm bracelets. Hoop earrings are also a great way to transition the former bridesmaid dress to a more everyday style, as opposed to the more formal crystal or pearl bridesmaid jewelry you wore the first time around.

If you are really lucky, you may even be able to talk a bride into choosing convertible wrap dresses for her bridesmaids. This is a great new trend: dresses which can be wrapped in numerous ways to create entirely different looks. Usually made in a versatile fabric like matte jersey, this is the ultimate in a bridesmaid dress that can be worn again. Tie it as a halter to go out to dinner while on a beach vacation. Wear it as a chic one shoulder style to a gallery opening. With wide straps over the shoulders and a pretty hat, it would be darling for a bridal shower in a garden. Whoever thought of this dress design is a genius!

Then there are those bridesmaid dresses which are beyond hope. They are the ones in hideous colors, cheap shiny fabrics, or dreadfully outdated cuts. There is, however, one way to find a new use for the worst examples of wedding fashion: costume party. Just be sure that the bride who picked the dog of a dress will not be attending the same party!

Maternity Dresses for the Mother-to-be

It has been a long time since expectant ladies chose to hide their blossoming bodies under flowing caftans and muumuus. Nowadays, there are as many stylish garments made for the "lady-in-waiting" as there are for her slender peers. There has been a true revolution in maternity wear in recent years. For any stage of a pregnancy there are appealing, even alluring, dresses available to wear to the office, to dinner parties, or to those big formal events.

Empire-waist dresses are a very flattering option for the plus size woman who is expecting. The waistline on this dress is high, above the natural waistline. Some fashion designers place the waistline immediately under the breast area. The empire-waist dress, also known as the high-waisted dress, is long, loose and flowing on the bottom portion so that it doesn't fight tightly against the body.

The empire line helps to elongate the body and does a very good job of disguising a growing abdomen as well as a bottom-heavy body including wide hips or a waist that is thick. This type of dress is very comfortable to wear and looks best on plus size women who are petite or who are on the shortish size of the height scale. This dress has been around for a long time and took the name 'empire' from the period of history that related to the First French Empire.

The ultimate dress to flatter any woman's figure including the plus size pregnant woman is the wrap dress. Regardless of whether you are tall or short, apple shaped or pear shaped, this is the dress for you. The wrap dress makes every woman look feminine and sexy. It serves to draw the eye to the curves of a woman's body by flowing over the hips and cinching the waist, not to mention making the bust look the way a woman wants it to.

The wrap dress can be adjusted to fit the pregnant woman comfortably. It does not have to be tight-fitting or overly clingy. The wrap dress is a popular choice with moms-to-be, and can be found in many maternity clothing wardrobes. The wrap dress can be worn for both casual and more stylish social events.

If you're looking for a great investment for your wardrobe, look into the jersey-knit maternity wrap dress! This dress is great for people that plan on having more than one baby. It can be easily worn from beginning of the pregnancy until the third trimester. Once the tummy is expanded, the dress is as comfortable as it was before you started to show. The tie is below the bust. Plus, the material of the dress is stretchy (but no clinging), so it'll make your rounded front look very stylish and you'll still remain most comfortable!

Sexy Holiday Maternity Dresses

October is already underway and Holiday Season is fast approaching with Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner. For many of us who are expecting, the holidays means finding a holiday dress for a number of social occasions. In addition to family and friend get togethers, many of us also have holiday office parties to attend which may require a more formal dress. So, whether your maternity dress needs are casual, slightly upscale or formal, now is the time to start looking before it is too late! Here are few suggestions in your quest for the perfect maternity dress for the holidays:

Unless you are shopping for a full out formal affair, it is easy to find a maternity dress that is super versatile for not only Thanksgiving and Christmas parties for other outings as well. The wrap maternity dress style is the perfect bridge from a nice dinner out to holiday party. Solids are a good choice in shopping for a maternity dress you plan to wear more than once as it is not quite as memorable as a print - especially if you might run into the same people on more than one occasion. Burgundy is a popular color out this holiday season and definitely suits the occasion from Thanksgiving to Christmas to even a classic office dress or nice day-wear outfit. Wrap dresses are one of the best body styles on the market for expecting women as they are so easy to wear, flattering to many body types and adjustable to your changing shape. Both Japanese Weekend and Maternal America (check out their Front Tie Keyhole Maternity Dress) have some super wrap and sash tie dresses out this season in burgundy, ruby and black.

If patterns are more your style, look for a print that does not say "holiday" all over it but can be worn throughout the season for a variety of venues. The Maternal America Beaded Safari Dress is based upon their bestselling style from last Fall/Winter which was a hit during the holidays. This year's style is a one of a kind earth print with a beautiful blend of safari earthy colors brought together in the front with attractive ruching with a centerpiece of chunky beading in earth colors. This dress can be worn for a formal occasion or a dinner out with friends. The colors are great for Fall, Winter, and even Spring with ? sleeves and light stretchy fabric. The Safari dress stretchy front ruching style plays up your curves and shows off all the best about your ever changing maternity shape.

If you have a truly dressy occasion to attend then your best option is maternity formal wear. Black is always a great choice and of course slimming and sexy for all body types and skin tones. There are a variety of styles that work very well in maternity formal dresses. Showing a little skin up top in either the sleeveless bodice or tube dress is always flattering. If you feel more comfortable with straps you can opt for a sleeveless or strappy dress to show a little shoulder or a deep V neck variety with short sleeves to show off your enhanced cleavage!

This season the full length formal dresses are very much in style on the red carpet and always a flattering and easy to fit style for expecting women. Particularly if you are further along in your pregnancy, a full length maternity gown gives some balance to a large blooming belly so the eye sees you in your entire dress from head to toe and your belly is not the sole target focus of everyone's attention. Olian Maternity has a number of beautiful and classic full length formal styles in formal dresses including the Kora Maternity Evening Dress, which is a pretty black sleeveless style, and an elegant Black Sash Evening Dress in Black with a contrasting cream Sash and neckline accent.

If you opt to show off a little leg, then a black cocktail maternity dress style is always a great bet for the Holidays and any formal or dressy occasion. Olian Maternity has a number of great styles for choose from in sexy black cocktail dresses including the Beaded Neck Cocktail Dress with a high circle neck style in beautiful beading and elegant draping pleats which hits above the knee. Olian also has a tighter fitting Silk Bodice Dress that is fitted across the bust in a silk satin finish and bra friendly. Both of these cocktail maternity dresses are sexy, classic and stunning, particularly if you can still safely pull off a black heel to complete the look!

Some great choices for other sleeveless varieties in the burgundy-maroon color family for above the knee dresses include Maternal America's Tulle Dress. This was another style which was a bestseller last holiday season in an espresso color and has returned this year in a stunning maroon color as well as a black variety. This dress has a pleated Grecian feel with a V neck leather empire waist accent that hits above the belly. The design and cut work well for all stages of your pregnancy and there is plenty of room in the belly and bust with no tenting or excess fabric. For a super buy, check out Theality's Party Dress which is a simple tube style with bra friendly straps and fitted across the bust. This easy to wear and versatile cocktail party dress is available in both burgundy and black solid.

So whether you are looking for full out formal or versatile knee length maternity dresses for the Holidays, your best bet is to shop as early as possible. To get the most wear out of your holiday maternity dress, look for styles with enough belly room and stretch to last you a number of months and colors or prints that can also be worn for other occasions. If it's chilly, just add a wrap and you are good to go!

Women's Dresses - 7 Fashion Dresses Guaranteed to Make You Look Hot

There are many sassy styles of women's dresses on the market but there are  7 types that will truly sexify your look. Whether you want to impress a guy, hook up with guys, feel confident and sexy, these  fashion dresses will definitely heat up your style without looking like you're trying too hard:

Little Red Dress

Did you know that the color red has been scientifically proven to elevate your confidence and intensify a guy's first impression of you? The right way to wear a red dress is to keep the accessories on the low because the color is already a showstopper. It's a powerful color that no one should misuse!

One Shoulder Dress

This dress style proves that you don't have to show off your cleavage to look sexy! The beauty with baring one of your shoulders is that it makes it look you've just started to undress yourself but stops and leaves it there. A seductive look, not to mention a perfect opportunity to show off a nicely toned shoulder. If your arms are on the fuller side then pick a style with longer and flowy looking sleeve to disguise them - they cover more but they're still sexy!

Bustier Dress

The heart-shaped neckline provides modest coverage for the bust yet it still draws attention to the figure. It accentuates both small and large breasts in a sophisticated yet sexy way. Perfect for those wants to bring their breasts in the spotlight or those who want more curves on top.

Wrap Dress

A tasteful and timeless choice for the slightly modest woman.  It's versatile and can be worn to both formal and casual occasions. Wrap dresses flatter most body shapes by doing 3 things - trims the waist, enhances the breasts as well as minimizing the hips. If you want more curves then pick a wrap dress with an A-line hem that flares outwards for an illusion of having an hourglass figure.

Bandage/Body Con Dress

This figure-hugging dress can really accentuate your curves which is a good thing because guys tend to go ga-ga over bootyliscious celebs such as Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian. If you have narrow hips then a bandage dress will not look forgiving on you because it'll highlight them even more, so I would say that it flatters curvy women best. Max Azria's Herve Leger body con dress is a popular choice among A-list fashionistas because it works like a Miraclesuit, sucking in on the body fat. However you don't have to splurge over a thousand dollars on a designer dress when you can wear a seamless body trimming shapewear beneath it and achieve the same effect.

Lace Dress

This sharp, feminine and antique-looking dress creates a sophisticated vampy look that is sure to turn heads. Choose between the lace trim or full body lace style. Lace trimmings are classy and serve those who like to keep it simple. Full body lace is best worn with a seamless tank top. Avoid killing the look with fussy accessories. Keep the shoes sleek and jewelry basic.

Leopard Print Dress

A classic print that works for any season. Make the leopard print the focal point of your outfit. Choose shoes and accessories that won't compete with your dress, such as plain black pumps, hoop earrings and bangle bracelets. If you want to soften the edgy print you can pair it with a classy pearl necklace.

The trick to looking steamy is to avoid looking over-the-top tacky, so pick womens dresses that flaunt one part of your body that you like the most or feel is the sexiest about yourself. Because if you bare it all you won't leave anything to the guy's imagination.

Tips for Choosing a Flattering Plus Size Dress

For every plus size woman, there is a plus size dress that will make her look great and sexy. You only need to know what kind of fabric, color and design would look good on you and what can accentuate your curves and downplay problem areas. You have to pick a plus size dress that will look seemingly tailor-made. This is important to make you look slimmer and still feel comfortable.

Colors and Prints

Note that black can make you look thinner, and so can monotone-colored dresses that are proportionate to the body. As for prints, it would all depend on your height. Ideally, a taller person can wear dresses with a large print while a petite woman should wear an outfit that has a small print so as not to make her look even shorter.

Not Too Tight, Not Too Loose

A plus size woman you should also go for clothes that are not too tight or too loose. If you wears a dress that is too tight on her, bulges might show. On the other hand, dresses that are too loose lack shape and will make her look even bigger. To get the right dress with the right measurement, it is better to ask for help regarding plus size dress. Shops, whether online or local, typically have detailed sizing charts for their customers.

Avoid Puffy Sleeves

Being overweight does not mean the inability to be fashionable. There are so many plus size clothes that will make a woman so attractive and sexy. One thing you should remember is not to buy dresses that have puffy sleeves if yours arms are big as this may further highlight the size of the arm. You should choose dresses with sleeves that look tailor-made on the arms or you could also wear off-shoulder style dresses as this will fit you well and are not too tight. A dress with such style is also elegant and formal.

Consider Wrap Dresses

Another outfit that is ideal and flattering for the plus size woman is the wrap dress. This style of dress will take care of disguising wide hips and will highlight the curves instead. A wrap dress is also classic, sensual, comfy and elegantly stylish. When it flows over the body, it looks elegant and covers problem areas. As a plus size woman you should also wear belts when your blouse is long and loose. This will help define your waist and give you a shapely silhouette

Fabrics and Accessories

Other things to remember are: plus size women should also wear clothing made of light fabrics during summer time. Cotton fabric is ideal as this also absorbs moisture from the body. Lighter clothes will also give a lighter and comfortable feeling. Accessories can also make a plain-looking dress look spectacular but they should not be overdone. One accessory to consider for example, is a multi-beaded necklace over a plain one-colored blouse

There are many accessories that will make an ordinary plus size dress look elegant. This can be a scarf, jewelry, purse, shoes, veils, hats or hair accessories. The secret is to be creative without overdoing it. The most important thing is that it fits the body proportionately and it makes the one wearing it comfortable. One good accessory of any dress is comfort because it makes one confident and relaxed.

A-line Dress Style is Universal For All Figures

'Universal' means that is accepted world wide and remains constant forever. Like earth is oval shaped, this is known to everyone and cannot be changed ever. Similarly fashion world also comprises such fashion facts. There are few dress styles that are in vogue since earlier times and will always remain so. Little black dress, A-line dress, wrap dress etc are few of them. In this article we will exclusively talk about A-line dress only.

Silhouette of A-line dress style is represented as a tapered top flaring towards the bottom and just looks like capital alphabet 'A'. Generally this style sits high on the waist so as to flare out over the thighs. It is a very appealing style and fit appropriately with each season. Since the time of its inception it has created great stir in the minds of women. This style dress flatters all figures. Its various styles help in befitting it to all. It include halter, strapless dress, thin strap dress, wrap style dress, high low hem, off the shoulder dress, beaded dress, one shoulder dress, empire waist dress, handkerchief hem dress, layered dress etc. Amongst such a great variety it's sure that everyone will get one piece of own choice. If still don't get any go for designer A-line dress. Certainly all these styles befit one or the other figure for sure.

But every silhouette is created keeping any one particular figure in mind. Same is the case with A-line dress also. It is especially made for women having bottom heavy figure. Flare of A-line dresses nicely fall over the thick hips and thighs and smooth out the lines of bottom part by disguising them. Also the fitted top gathers attention upward, away from the bottom part. This style is perfectly complementary to full figured women.

This type of dresses are not only universal with regards to body types but with fabrics also. That means almost any fabric can be used in the making of A-line dresses. If seen from comparison viewpoint then definitely lighter fabrics rock most as they nicely drape at the bottom while drape with heavy fabrics depends on their weight. Cotton, silk, and synthetics are lightweight, thus very floaty. For summers they work best. While somewhat heavier fabrics like velvet, taffeta etc are appropriate for more formal occasions. While these dresses made of heavy wool, satin are apt for cooler weather.

These dresses range from simple to ornamented ones and can be adorned with various accents. Embroidery, rhinestones, ribbons, laces, sashes, buttons, prints etc are commonly seen on this dresses. Adorned dresses look very beguiling. Though whether A-line dress is simple or embellished, this feminine style is all time hit.

The A-line dress can be worn on formal and informal occasions both. In formal events like weddings and dances it looks very nice. Its casual versions are also available. For the most part they are made for casual wear. Thus A-line style outfit is the hub of many choices.

11 Popular Styles of Cute Spring Dresses

The majority of cute spring dresses have similar characteristics. Their fabric is light and wispy as opposed to heavy and clingy. Typically they range in length from above the knee to mid-calf. It is a rare occurrence to find an ankle length or floor length spring dress. A lot of spring dresses also have prints and many of them mimic nature's own spring wardrobe - florals, bright colors, or a pastel palette reminiscent of baby colors.

These are some popular styles of cute spring dresses:

1. The Tea Dress

The tea dress originated in the UK and has been popularized by popular stores like TopShop and Miss Selfridge. According to Suite101.com, the tea dress is: "A feminine, girly and floaty dress that would look at home for high tea at the Ritz Hotel, or at a garden party. The dress is so called due to its aptness for being worn to afternoon tea or ladies' lunches. Often brightly colored, it is a cute and feminine dress that can be worn to brunch, picnic, high tea, a summer fete or bridal shower. Its elegance lies in the vintage styling and delicate prints."

2. The Shirtdress

Take a women's button-down blouse and lengthen it to the knee, cinch the waist or add a tie or belt, and you've got a shirtdress! Sleeves vary in length from cap sleep, short sleeve to 3/4th sleeve. These dresses are beautiful in delicate florals or in a singular color like khaki.

3. The Polo Shirt Dress

Similar to the shirtdress, a polo shirt dress lengthens a fitted women's polo top to right above the knee or right at the knee. It looks great in horizontal stripes or bright colors.

4. The Wrap Dress

This type of dress can be tricky to wear with ease. Typically it has no zippers or buttons and is held together by "wrapping" it around and tying it at the waist. Perfect for cinching the waist.

5. The Kimono Style Dress

This type of dress is typically made with large geometric prints that are not always flattering for larger frames. Some dresses offer smaller floral prints that elongate the body. The kimono style dress has a figure flattering V-neckline, blowsy 3/4th sleeves, an A-line skirt bottom, and monochromatic paneling on the waist for the illusion of a smaller middle.

8. The Sundress

The name sundress can refer to a wide variety of styles. The only defining characteristic of a sundress is that it is worn in warm weather.

9. The Baby Doll Dress

10. The Tank Dress

The tank dress is a sleeveless version of the shirtdress. It is a tank top converted into a dress.

Five Flattering Styles of Bridesmaid Dresses

Although you may be concerned about finding the best wedding dress Ottawa has to offer, what about the bridesmaid's dresses? There are plenty of horror stories out there about horrible bridesmaid dresses. You have hideous dresses with pussy sleeves, giant "butt bows", or simply dresses which have been chosen without considering the figure of the person wearing the dress... there are simply many ways you can choose the wrong bridesmaid dresses in Ottawa. So make an effort and spare your wedding attendees the pain of having to look at hideous bridesmaid dresses by choosing one of the following flattering styles.

Halter dress. A halter neckline is flattering on almost anyone. It suits almost any type of woman... busty, flat, tall, short, stalky, and so on. These types of Ottawa bridesmaid dresses also come in a variety of fabrics, from satin to chiffon. Some halter necklines can actually work with convertible bras, which is great for woman who hate strapless bras. Extravagant earrings and stacked bracelets generally go the best with halter neck gowns as they don't always go the best with necklaces.

A-line skirt. There's almost no woman out there who doesn't look great in an A-line skirt. The cut of the skirt is very forgiving, and thus hides problematic areas which other skirts may show. An A-line does suit skinnier woman however by giving them a bit more shape, and it can help balance out a bustier woman's top half. It doesn't matter whether a bridesmaid is tall, short, stalky, or ultra thing, the A-line will suit anyone. Try to choose your bridesmaid dresses in Ottawa in a "crisp" fabric to ensure it holds its shape. Taffeta, organza, and satin are all good choices.

Gathered Chiffon. A single layer of chiffon can be very revealing, however "gathered" fabric with a thicker lining can be quite flattering. The fabric may softly touch one's body, however if it's gathered it doesn't cling. You may also want to consider a chiffon bodice, as it's a great fitted top dress, however it's not too revealing.

Separate dresses. All of your bridesmaids may very well all have different body types, and this makes it quite difficult to choose a single type of dress which suits everyone. This problem can easily be solved by letting all of your bridesmaids choose separates. Many wedding dress shops offering bridesmaid dresses in Ottawa actually have tops and bottoms in the same fabric which can be mixed and matched. In doing so, each bridesmaid can choose a look which suits her. If you want each bridesmaid to have some similarities to each other, you can have them all wear the same jewellery. With matching jewellery and colours, your bridesmaids will all look great together, but they'll all look their best individually as well.

Twist wrap dresses. These types of dresses are a bit of a new trend in Ottawa weddings. They're made of matte jersey, and allow the fabric to be wrapped in a variety of ways. Thus you can create a variety of dresses all stemming from one basic style... short sleeves, strapless, single shoulder, and so on. Perfect for when your bridesmaids can't all agree on a single neckline. Even better is the fact that a twist wrap dress can be worn differently each time, so your bridesmaid will have something different to wear multiple times after your Ottawa wedding.

5 Flattering Bridesmaid Dress Styles

One hears so many horror stories about hideous bridesmaid dresses! From the ones with the poufy sleeves, enormous butt bows, or those which are chosen without any consideration of the bridesmaids' figures, there are many ways to get a bridesmaid dress all wrong. Spare your attendants the agony of a dreadful dress by picking one of these five flattering bridesmaid dress styles.

Halter. The halter neckline is almost universally flattering. It suits busty women, flat chested women, tall women, and short women. Halters can come in many fabrics, from a wintery satin to a breezy chiffon. Some halter necklines will even accommodate a convertible bra, which can be a huge relief for bridesmaids who can't stand wearing a strapless one. Dramatic earrings and stacked bracelets are the best bridesmaid jewelry for a halter neck gown, since it does not always pair well with a necklace.

A-line. There is not woman in the world who does not look good in an A-line skirt. This forgiving cut hides a multitude of sins that a tighter skirt would reveal. The A-line also suits slim women who could use more shape, as well as busty gals who need a skirt that can balance out their top half. Tall or short, thin or heavy, it does not matter - every figure loves an A-line skirt. Choose a bridesmaid dress in a fabric which has a crisp enough hand to hold the A shape of the skirt. Good choices include taffeta, organza, satin, and faille.

Gathered Chiffon. While a single layer of chiffon (or even worse, a bias cut chiffon dress!) is very revealing, when the fabric is lightly gathered over a more substantial lining, it is very flattering. The fabric gently skims the body, but when it is gathered, does not cling. A wrapped chiffon bodice is also a great way to wear a fitted top that does not reveal every lump and bump. Floaty and feminine, a gathered chiffon dress will make your bridesmaids look like goddesses.

Separates. In many bridal parties, each bridesmaid has a different figure, which makes it very hard to pick one dress that suits everyone. A great solution to this age old dilemma is to allow your bridesmaids to select separates. Many bridesmaid dress designers now offer tops and bottoms which can be mixed and matched in the same fabric and color. This lets each attendant select the top and skirt in which she feels most comfortable. If you want to ensure a relatively unified look for the whole group, you can give them each the same set of bridesmaid jewelry. Between their coordinating accessories and wearing the same color and material, your bridesmaids will look harmonious, while allowing each woman to feel her prettiest.

Twist Wraps. A great new trend in bridesmaid attire are twist wrap dresses. Made of matte jersey, these convertible dresses are designed so that the fabric can be wrapped in many different ways. From one basic style, you can create dresses with short sleeves, strapless, one shoulder, and more. What a great solution when your bridesmaids cannot agree on one neckline! The really neat thing about the twist wrap dresses is that they can be worn a new way each time, meaning that your bridesmaids will have a very versatile dress to wear again many times after the wedding.

5 Popular Styles For Women's Spring Dresses

Spring dresses for women come in a variety of styles, fabrics, and prints. The most favorable fabrics for spring are usually breezy and lightweight. They offer a flowy, airy look. The most favorable print for spring comes as no surprise: florals.

Spring is synonymous for blooming flowers, in nature and in the fashion world. Regardless of fashion's ever-changing personality, florals always find their way on spring runway shows. They are the perfect way for women to feel feminine and in season. The following women's dress styles are popular for the spring season:

1. The wrap dress

This dress derives its name from the way the dress is tied or rather wrapped around to secure a closure on either the side or front of the dress. This style cinches the waist but can also be cumbersome to keep in place.

2. The sun dress

This dress is not actually a particular style, but it is the name given to dresses that start to appear in the warm weather. It implies a wearable, comfortable, casual fit.

3. The tea dress

On the other end of the spectrum is the tea dress, which by nature has a more elegant, proper appeal. It originated in the UK and now has a worldwide following.

4. The kimono style dress

Further east, we have a dress that was inspired by the Japanese kimono. The kimono style dress borrows some characteristics of the Japanese kimono but is made more wearable by shortening the sleeves, the length and doing without the obi.

5. The shirt dress/polo dress/T-shirt dress

These dress styles look just like shirts, polos, or T-shirts but with added length. The shirt dress is basically a button-down blouse made into a dress and usually nipped at the waist with a fabric belt.

Of course there are tons of spring dresses out on the market that don't fall into any of the above categories. The key to achieve a spring look is to make sure you look and feel comfortable - like you just threw on the dress, tousled your hair, put on some shades and walked out of the door!

Look Great With Beautiful Party Dresses

Most women around the world have a problem finding the ideal outfit for an occasion. This is because different occasions call for different dressing styles. So a dinner party with friends and family will require a different sort of a dress as compared to a party with your date at the club. Party dresses are a whole genre of dresses that include all the dresses you could possibly need to look drop dead gorgeous at any bash. Evening gowns, cocktail dresses, prom gown, homecoming dresses, sheath dress, sun dress, wrap dress and so much more! The list is virtually inexhaustible!

What you could do is get a number of party dresses that can be worn to similar occasions. For instance, your wrap dress can be worn to a late afternoon barbeque party with your date and his family, as well as to a nice dinner party at a fancy restaurant. This way, you end up spending a lot less! But you can't apply this trick everywhere. So don't try to pull off a shirt dress with red cowboy boots at an engagement party! What you need are some basic dresses that you can dress up or down according to the occasion. A sheath dress is perfect for your couple's party and at the same time, can be worn to the bridal shower party you are invited to next moth!

Pick different fabrics for different gowns so as to ensure you have party dresses that are suitable for the occasion as well as the weather. A knit wool dress can be great for an afternoon party in winter but it is pretty useless for the summer poolside bash! These dresses are available in all kinds of fabrics- so just take your pick. Check out the cut, design and fit of the dress as well before you make up your mind. Otherwise you will only regret it later!

And the most important thing to remember while buying pretty much anything is of course the budget! Yes, the wisest thing to do before a shopping trip is to have a fair idea of how much you can spare for a couple of party dresses. While there are quite a few cheap options available, you shouldn't always take up the least expensive one. Choose one of good quality that is likely to serve you for some time. The prices for good dresses begin upwards of $ 60 while some extremely expensive and exclusive ones can cost over one grand!

Various Types of Dresses and Their Descriptions

A woman cannot just wear a piece of clothing and call it a dress. A dress has to be nice and well-fitted. Different women have different body types. So, it is obvious that every woman has to find the dress that suits her perfectly. Nonetheless, there are different types of dresses that are needed for every occasion; and all women should be aware of this. They should know the proper attire when going to church, going to a formal dinner party, going to the opera, or dining out casually.

The shirt dress, for instance, is one of the many types of dresses that women often wear. It usually has sleeves, a button-down bodice, and a shirt collar. Its bodice is attached to its skirt and often has a self-belt that will separate the skirt from the bodice. Back in the 1950s, shirt dresses became popular and they featured knee-length skirts. Today, shirt dresses are still fashionable but they no longer have crinoline. They are idea to be worn in the office or in the church. Also, these classic pieces go well with pearls and scarves.

There is also the sheath dress. Sheath dresses are the types of dresses that are either sleeveless or strapless and form-fitting. Usually, they fall just above the knees. In addition, these types of dresses are known to be very flexible and versatile. Hence, they can be worn during the day and during the night. Elbow-length gloves as well as oversized pearls also look good with them. Anyway, another fashionable wear is the sundress. Sundresses are basically dresses that come in breathable fabrics with bright colors and floral prints. These types of dresses usually have halter tops or spaghetti-style straps. They are great to be worn on beaches or casual dining. They can even be worn while grocery shopping. Then again, too much accessories do not look good with them.

Other well-known types of dresses are the maxi dress and the wrap dress. Maxi dresses normally have halter tops or spaghetti-style straps. They also extend from below the bust and down to the floor. These types of dresses are perfect for everyday wear. Also, they were introduced during the 1960s. However, it was only until the 1970s that they have gained popularity. During that time, they had ruffles at their bottoms. On the other hand, wrap dresses are dresses that can flatter almost any body type. They are quite similar to shirt dresses except that they have skirts affixed to wrap-style tops. Such wraps are usually attached sashes that extend from the insides of the dresses. A woman has to pull the sash and wrap it around her waist. Then, she has to tie it on her side or on her torso. These types of dresses look elegant and feminine.

Before you choose a wrap it's important to figure out what body type you are. Different wraps will look good on different body types.

Wrap Skirt - A Perfect High-Low Mix

While waiting in a queue at the Apparel Store, I could not stop staring at the watch on the wrist of this beautiful woman in front of me. It was Rolex President in gold with diamonds. Next to it was a David Yurman gold cuff bracelet. Then I noticed her clothes. To my surprise, her clothes were so simple, casual and unbranded. She wore a floral blouse, a wrap skirt and sandals. An unusual blend and a very interesting mix of high & low and I am here thinking of her and talking about her.

In the past several decades we have lived through high brands, low brands & no brands. We have learned to move easily between the high & the low and accept what we need in a more practical sense. Our taste is no longer confined to a particular class, culture, brand or price. We are free and we have learned to make our own style with no rules - no boarders. We made fashion more flexible. We realized that we are not for the fashion but the fashion is for us. We created new styles and inspired the designers to think. It is no longer the designers telling us how to dress. I felt that when I looked at the woman in the stores. She is free to choose what she wants and still can leave an impression.

I was not only surprised but curious to know where could have she bought her skirts from. It was a Silk Wrap Skirt - knee length. The simplicity of the Wrap skirt was making her more attractive and made a distinct difference in her appearance. I won't be surprised if she had bought her floral top and the wrap skirt from a push cart outside a shopping mall. The high-low mix is now our social reflection. No longer one replaces the other - they go together. We all know about the high fashion - expensive brands but we know very little about the low fashion - low value or no brand fashion. Wrap Skirt is one such fashion which maintains a very low profile but very consistent.

It is not for selected few but for all women - anyone - anytime - anywhere. It makes a woman incredibly stylish and smart. The high-low mix is more about creativity in a woman. A little tough-girl look is what you need to stop looking too sweet or too pretty. Add a chain, belt or a striking ear rings to create a style that demands a second look. You can create your own style with a multiwear wrap skirt which can be worn in 100 different ways. Its sizzling colors and texture would speak for itself. It is double layered and can be worn on both sides. Each piece of wrap skit is uniquely hand made and there can not be 2 same pieces. Your wardrobe should be the reflection of your personality, your taste and your creativity. Mix them well - blend them - re-mix them and create your unique style and make the designers follow you
