How to Pick How the Perfect Formal Dress for You
Monday, 29. June 2009
So I was getting ready for a cruise to celebrate graduating from college. I go to Dillard’s and buy a dress for formal night on the ship. Well, just at my seating alone there were 2 other women in my dress! So stay away from your local mall when shopping for formal dresses!
Keep these two things in your mind while looking for a dress:
1. you need to wear something that is perfect for you and 2. perfect for the event.
Okay, they may seem like obvious things, but I see people breaking these rules all the time!
Keep in mind who is running the function and which social group you will be around. If it will be family, then you probably should not dress like you want to pick up a man (save that outfit for your boyfriends’ fraternity brother’s wedding!).
Secondly, wear something that is appropriate for you. What I mean by this is something that is age and body-type appropriate. Do not wear your knock-off, Jennifer Lopez, green, neckline plunging Grammy dress to your 8th grade Valentines dance. Find a dress that looks good on your body. Do you want to hide any trouble-spots (arms, thighs, tummy, etc)? It is also important to stay dressed in your age range. This goes for both the young and the old. Trust me that you will look the best in a dress that is true to who you are.
After you have figured out what type of dress is appropriate for the event and for you, then finalizing a choice should be easy. Not only that, you have chosen a dress that is perfect for you, for your body, and for your night. Nothing else is left except to pick out amazing accessories and have a night to remember! And take a lot of pictures of course.
