Choosing the perfect evening gown:

Fashion of Evening Gown

While buying an evening gown there are certain things you need to keep in mind. Evening gowns are made of delicate rich materials like chiffon, velvet and silk. Buy them according to your body shape and the occasion you would be wearing it to.  There are A-line dresses which are snugly fitted till just below the chest after which they fall without pleats. Sheath dresses and princess gowns are fitted options while empire dresses have a loose breezy style. Decide on the part of the body you want to highlight. A V neck dress would highlight the chest area while a halter neck dress would leave your back and shoulders completely open. For the ones gifted with great arms, expose them with a thin strap or strapless gown. Here’s a piece of advice! Make sure the part you would be exposing is perfectly waxed and polished! Want to play it sexy? Opt for dresses with a slit up to your knees or thighs whichever you are comfortable with and go on and play the peek-a-boo game! 

Beauty of Evening gowns

Accessorize your gown to complete the look:

Once you have found your perfect outfit, it’s time to look for the items that would go with it. Gowns call for heels! Pencil heels, wedges and peep toes are your best option. The higher the pair of heels the better it is. If you are afraid to wear high heels, go for medium sized wedges! Steer clear of slippers! Pearls and diamonds would be your best friends when going for an evening gown! A long strand of pearls or a diamond choker would be perfect! Wear single studs if you leave the hair open. If not, you can go for long earrings. Take a clutch in your hand and you might accompany the dress with a long coat or a scarf depending on the occasion!
