Have you been invited to a party and you know that it’s gala? Well wait just a minute. Your shoes are in the clutch and your cell phone is in the pocket. What are you doing? You are not wearing your dressing gown yet! Instead, what should you be wearing? Party dresses are in many styles these days and you’ve got to choose which look is the best for you. There are loads of varieties of party dresses to choose from that you should try to avoid boring and save it for a later party!
What are the common types of party dresses?
These are some of the styles that you can find while going shopping. First, you have the A-line dress. Usually, it’s ankle-length and it’s narrow at the top. Second, you have the empire dress. Why empire? It’s because this tends to make you bodacious! Third, if you want something with more depth, you have the ball gown. The ball gown has tight boning to define your waist and a decorativeariat on the top. fourth, of course, you have the sheath dress. It’s short, just like your body, and it’s usually clingy.
These are the main categories of dresses. Now let’s see them in detail.
A-Line
This kind of dress looks good on all women. They’re slim and they look thin. It’s A-line because it defines your leg line, so it’s a great look if you want to add substance to your existing wardrobe.
The halter neck neck overdresses
This kind of dress is good for women with broad shoulders. It’s a sensuous kind of outfit since it hugs your neck and then flows with each beat of your heart. It looks good on women with fair complexion and beautiful skin as well.
The hanky hem dress
The hanky hem dress falls above the knee and generally long gowns are worn in Europe. This can look great on women with long legs and slender ankles.
The ball gown
Conventional ball gowns are full and fluffy. The goal is to show off your full and plump belly. It generally starts at the waist and grows till the upper torso until the lower leg where it gets allidy and falls on the floor. ball gowns are usually worn at very formal occasions and are fashion-forward.
Are these dresses formal enough?
This question can only be resolved by looking at the invitation. Before you go out and buy your party dress for the big day, take an inventory of the invitation. If it says black tie optional, i.e. tuxedo optional, then you are going to need a tuxedo. Do remember that the invitation must be in black and white, but you can have a colored theme. For example, you can have one color black, one color white, etc.
So now you’ve got the dress. What’s next?
Remember that though the morning of the party is already half-gone, yet you have to start making your plans for the evening. For your dress, start looking for jewelry that goes well with the dress. Your jewelry can be sterling silver (which is very ‘in’ right now) or gemstones, and you are sure to find earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings to go with whatever you are wearing. Your watch or jewelry can be a little more subtle. Again, the idea is to look like you are ready for the big night.
And lastly, the last thing you need to do is make sure you have your makeup and hair ready. These are the vital ingredients of a glam prom night. So if you still haven’t found the perfect prom dress, hair and makeup will give you that glam look.
