Going Out In Style With Night Dresses
Night dresses keep your social life flowing when the sun goes down and the party comes up. Whether it is a business networking event, once-in-a-lifetime celebration or a gala, night dresses are heaped on with a tall order.
They have to look good but still stay within your taste and desire. Think about the event and the personality of the other attendees first. If you are expected to have an "on" personality, dress for the role. If you are trying to mix into the background, stick with neutrals, maybe go long-sleeved, and avoid the risque such as see-through and lace all the way up and down the night dresses.
Speaking of long-sleeves, the overall cut of the dress should hug in the right places, fit without pulling, stretching, or misshaping the dress. Yet, be careful not to end up with something so loose that it is bagging in places where it needs to fit securely.
Trying On And Trying It Out
The key to successful shopping is in not looking at sizes. Especially in today's marketplace, every designer, and manufacturer appears to be off on their own separate journey when they are cutting and creating clothing.
Instead, start with the dresses you like in the size you usually wear. From there, have someone along with you or snag a quality salesperson. You want to be able to hand off the pile of "no's" and the "need a size up or downs" to someone who is available for you.
They will be able to see all around you, which is more than a bay of mirrors can do. Even better yet, find a store that performs in-house alterations. Usually, those are some of the best alterations professionals in the business. It will come at a premium, but is worth the money.
