Five Tips For Wearing Dresses

There’s probably nothing that looks more classy on a woman than a beautiful dress. For centuries, this garment has been worn during life’s most important events. In modern culture, whether it’s your senior prom, a wedding, or even the Hollywood red carpet… there’s just something about an elegant designer dress that symbolizes beauty like no other. However, when not worn right, it can really turn into a disaster. The following five tips can help ensure that doesn’t happen!
#1: The Most Flattering Color
It’s always fun to have things in your favorite color, but when it comes to dresses, it’s not quite that simple. You should take into account your skin tone; you don’t want a color which is not compatible. Also, a hue that accents your eye color may be one way to really stand out; this technique generally works best if you have blue or green eyes.  As a general rule of thumb, I always prefer conservative colors over something like a bright fuschia. I just find that the more traditional colors look classier and are much more versatile.
#2: The Best Fit
No matter what your body type may be, there is a dress out there for you. The key is to try on as many different dresses as possible before making a selection. Taking along a trusted friend or family member to give opinions is also helpful, because you can’t always trust a sales associate to be honest.
#3: Proper Support
At least once in our lives, almost all of us have made the mistake of choosing a great dress but forgetting about supporting our breasts properly. Some dresses are designed so no bra is needed, but many of them do require some form of support. But it’s a big no-no to have bra straps showing under a dress, so consider using a backless version or strapless bustier. If you are looking to add a little fullness, believe it or not it is possible to do so without breast implants. There are a number of different slip-in pads available; some are even made out of silicone so they look and feel real. On one internet , some ladies even said they regret getting implants because they prefer the versatility of using slip-in pads instead!
#4: The Right Design
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but there is one “must know” tip I have when picking out a dress… keep it classy! Or in other words, simple and traditional looking designs are the way to go. Need proof? Think of all those red carpet style disasters – take a look at the dress and you will usually find it’s some outrageous design. Remember Bjork wearing the “goose dress” a few years ago? Don’t make the same mistake!
#5: Skin Care
All too often, we worry so much about the dress, hair, and makeup that we forget about the rest of our skin. Being that most dresses show our arms and backs, it’s important to remember these areas. A bronzer, spray tan, or tanning cream may be one way to go, but it’s advised to use this the day before. Otherwise it can wear off onto your clothes; the last thing you want to do is be wearing a beautiful white dress with brown spots from bronzer on it! If you’re looking to give your skin some extra glow, there are some great creams available. When used for a few weeks, this ingredient will produce a temporary skin lightening effect. But if you’re not interested in all these bells and whistles, some good old fashion moisturizing lotion can help give your skin some extra glisten.
