Why You'll Love the Wrap

For women who are slightly curvier or on the fuller side the wrap dress was definitely made with you in mind. While these dresses look great on almost any body type it's the full breasted curvy hip women out there who really benefit from this style.

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. Full figured women will look good with fuller skirts where as small framed women will need dresses that aren't as full. Since the wrap dress has the tendency to pick up panty lines which can draw attention to your tummy, be sure to choose the right underwear.

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

Dressing Gowns Inspire the Hottest 2010 Red Carpet Looks

With most of the 2010 award ceremonies behind us it is a good time to reflect on the hot looks that grabbed our attention and held it this year.

On the star-studded red carpets of France, the United Kingdom and the United States in 2010 one cannot help but observe the number of stunning gowns that were worn by celebrities remarkably resembling the style of a dressing gown.

To wear a dress that resembles a dressing gown is certainly no bad thing in my mind, the style of a floor length wrap around dress is unquestionably glamorous. The popularity of the wrap dress, is in part due to its effortless ease and comfort of wear but also because of the flattering effect that a wrap has on the many varied female forms, hugging a woman's curves perfectly regardless of shape and size.

A wrap style is a dress with a front closure that is created by literally wrapping one side across the other and either buttoning or tying the two into a knot or bow. A wrap highlights the feminine form yet flatters every figure. The wrap dress was a creation of fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg who invented the style in 1976. The wrap is one of the few fashion sensations that has stood the test of time still being favoured today by many fashion-conscious women around the world.

Several stars including Jennifer Lopez, Mark Kate Olsen and Nicole Richey were spotted wearing the most fashionable long sleeve wraparound maxi dresses. Long, floor or ankle-length, form-fitting dresses that looked remarkably similar to the style of a wraparound dressing gown and we applaud the look. So both the dressing gown and the wrap dress has stood the test of time, continuing to be favoured by the stars of today.

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.

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.
