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.

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.

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.

6. In some cases, black wrap dresses will also be a blockbuster because it is still the make-me-slimmer color. But, there are still some who prefers power color like red wrap dresses.

Wrap Dress

One of the most versatile and timeless style that fits most body types is the wrap dress. It crisscrosses over the bust, with the skirt falling gently below. The style is such that it skillfully separates, raises the bust and creates the illusion of an hour glass figure. This is just as true for wrap styles tops as it is for dresses.

‧ It's one of the best styles or rather the best style to be worn by women with heavy bust line. It takes the attention away from the bust giving it a more proportionate look.

‧ If you are on the larger side avoid horizontal lines and big prints. Instead opt for vertical or diagonal lines and small prints to compliment your frame.

‧ If you can carry the look, the wrap style can also be worn with a classy tee, or a turtle neck underneath. The wrap dress or top is also great for pregnant women who want to stay comfortable and stylish.

‧ For a good waist definition, choose a wrap style with ruching effect. In addition, it is a comfortable outfit for travelling as it hardly requires ironing.

‧ The wrap dress can be dressed up or down to create various looks. Team it with a classic bag and a chic pair of pumps for a formal look or wear it with opaque tights (or leggings ) for a more casual look.

‧ Accessorize it with a wide belt, chunky wedge shoes, a big classic tote bad and don't forget your shades.

Finding the Best Prom Dress For an Hourglass Figure - Essential Tips

If you have an hourglass figure, then you are extremely lucky because you can wear almost anything without having to think about looking excessively fat or extremely thin. But then, having an hourglass figure is always not considered a boon. Most of the times you are left confused about what to wear for a particular occasion. The confusion continues and sometimes you might as well want to give up on certain occasions. But every occasion is not a prom night either. This event is special and so you should dress at your best.

Being the first-most formal affair of your life, you have all the rights to look your best. And, you must choose your dress extra carefully on this occasion. However, it is important to note that certain dresses will produce certain effects and so if you want to accentuate a particular part of your body and not stress much on the others, then it will be wise to choose your dress accordingly.

If you have well-toned and narrow waists then try a wrap-dress. As the name suggests, you are required to wrap the dress around yourself. These dresses are divided vertically along the mid-section and the halves are tied tightly around the waist. Thus, it is ideal for showing off your narrow waistlines. Moreover, with your waist appearing narrower, your bust and hip region will look more voluptuous and make every head at the prom turn towards you. Wrap dresses come in varied lengths, the most popular being the knee-length and ankle-length dresses. Considering that you want to dance at the prom, it might not be a good idea to go for ankle-length wrap dresses.

You can also try the classic prom dress, also known as a princess gown. Nothing can beat the elegance of a princess gown when it comes to choosing your prom dress. Being blessed with an hourglass figure you can either choose to wear a high neckline dress or a one with a plunging neckline. You might as well purchase dresses, which are essentially made of net or settle for a simple one made of satin. Wearing an off-shoulder dress is also a good idea if you have a voluptuous bust line. For a less dramatic look, consider buying a princess gown that does not come with excessive padding to avoid pumped look.

But if wrap-dress or princess gown is not your idea of a prom dress, then you can always go for a simple Barbie-dress. They look smart and are perfect for showing off a well-toned body. Again, the length of the dress is for you to decide. Both knee-length dresses and ankle-length dresses look great on hourglass figures and are guaranteed to shower you with lavish compliments. However, if you are planning to buy ankle-length Barbie dresses, make sure they have a long slit at the base because small slits can interfere with various prom activities like dancing.

You are blessed with a good figure. So, why not complement it further with a dress that grabs eyeballs like never before.

The Iconic Wrap Dress

I am always encouraging my readers to adopt a timeless dress style by investing in clothes and accessories that will outlast the ephemeral or seasonal trends. One such year round wardrobe must have is the wrap dress which is as timeless and versatile a garment as you can get.

Wrap dress first designed by Diane von Furstenberg
The wrap dress which has become an icon in itself was introduced into the world of high fashion by Belgian born fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg in 1972. This figure flattering, versatile and easy to wear dress is suitable to most body shapes not to mention most ages as they are equally suitable for the young fashion conscious female as well as the mature trendy woman.

What the experts say
Professional stylists advises that for women with hour glass shapes, the wrap dress is perfect for accentuating curves and in some instances hiding budges. The cross over wrap dress puts emphasis on your waist by separating and lifting the bust and plays down the hips by making them seem smaller and narrower as it skims over the hips. The wrap dress also accentuates the cleavage and elongates the legs. It can be dressed up or dressed down with heels or sandals, jeans/ trousers, tights and accentuated with statement jewellery. Your wardrobe just simply is not complete without a couple of wrap tops and wrap dresses.

Top quality wrap dresses and designs
Like anything else there is always the less flattering designed wrap dresses which due to poor craftsmanship and fabric used, droops rather than drapes over the body. Poorly designed wrap dresses can leave us bigger boobed women pulling and tugging whole day to maintain a sense of decency. Depending on the style and make of the wrap and your body shape some women find it convenient to wear a camisole underneath to avoid being embarrassed.

Bear in mind that a well made wrap dress from quality fabric can be worn season after season. Have a browse online for those made from fair trade and organic material as fair trade and organic clothes are usually made to last .... Plus you get your opportunity to do your bit for the environment.

Towel Wrap - Reasons to Invest in a Towel Wrap Dress For Your Vacation

There are many reasons why a towel wrap should take pride of place in your luggage when you are planning your holiday vacation this summer. Here are just a few of the advantages that having a towel wrap dress tucked in your beach bag will bring you.

What Is A Towel Wrap

The basic form of a toweling wrap consists of a towel that literally wraps around the body either under the arms (for women) and around the waist for men. This is usually kept in place with a strip of Velcro adhesive that keeps it safe and secure. The Velcro is strong enough so that you simply have to press the sides together for closure and then just pull the sides apart to open it up.

Choose A Wrap Dress

There are also toweled dresses which are based on the same idea as the wrap but the dress has two shoulder straps made from the same fabric. This makes it even more secure on the body. The different styles and colors that are for sale at the moment mean that a woman can choose to wear her towel dress over her swimwear and walk down to the beach or to the poolside without feeling underdressed at all. This is a wonderfully comfortable item of clothing that is completely versatile.

Change Into Your Beachwear With Ease

If you are going to a very busy beach, you may not have anywhere appropriate to get changed. A towel that you can wear like a dress will alleviate this dilemma. You will no longer have to try and hold onto the ends of the towel while trying to remove wet clothing.

Wrap Around Towels Also Available For Children

Toweling wraps come in all shapes and sizes and you can also buy smaller versions that are suitable for children. You will find that they come in bright, fun and vibrant colors with great images printed or embroidered on them. Take a look online to find out what is available to buy and you could find yourself with a wonderful wrap for your next vacation.
