Dressing For Occasions

Summer time is usually the time for occasions such as weddings and engagements; it's even the perfect time to hold a party and therefore it's possible you can be invited to one.

Women love to look great but they also love feeling as comfortable as possible; that’s why we might grab those pair of black trousers and wear them with a plain silk shirt thinking we are good to go. You might end up looking great but dresses were made for parties; it's pretty, feminine and looks perfect no matter what the occasion is.

Here is how to pick this dress that will look great with your shape and give you the exact look you are looking for while managing to follow this season's hot picks:

          1-If your main concern is to hide your wide shoulders, then pick a dress with soft or chiffon short   sleeves,which will glaze over shoulders and soften their look. The bottom of your dress will look perfect if it was picked with a little movement such as a full skirt in soft fabrics.

           2- On the other hand, if you want to camouflage plump arms, then you should stay away from sleeveless dresses. Instead go for long-sleeved dresses but add a little festive look by picking a shorter skirt or v-neck tops, which will lighten up the look. Don't pick boring sleeves; close-fitting sleeves are more dramatic while loose ones give a softer look.

           3-No one wants to show a big bottom and if this is your case, then an a-line dress is the answer. Skirts of such dresses flare out from your waist and widens at the hem, which helps camouflage your heavier bottom. Anything goes with a-line skirts from strapless to deep v-necks.

        4-Creating curves is the ultimate challenge because most women want them to add a feminine look. Whether you want to play up an already-curvy body or make curves where there usually are none, a halter dress with a bias-cut skirt does it for you. Its bias-cut skirt rounds your bottom giving you the illusion of a curvier look.

          5- Women want to look as tall as they can be; that’s why heels are a must when you are attending an occasion but you can add extra height by getting into the right dress. Pick a dress with an empire waist that will draw the eyes upwards giving the illusion of height and a fluttery skirt, which will shape up your bottom. Be careful, though, empire waists can work badly for you if you pick a too-full fluttery skirt risking looking like you are pregnant. The length of your skirt should fall to the knee only.

         6-If you are a plus size, then you are looking for something to give you a thinner look. Your best pick would be a shift-style dress that hugs the upper part of your body as it shows the most common thin part of a woman's body. V-necks work great with heavier women since it adds the illusion of a width at your shoulder. On the skirt part, you need to pick a dress with a narrow a-line to skim your lower part.
