Dresses have many themes for different venues in mind so with this in mind retailers tend to stock as wide a range or selection as possible. What materials dresses are made from have a great effect on the way they look on with this in mind its important that whatever retailer you use understands this, also what will also determine satisfaction is how the dress is cut. All these details i hope to cover in this article.
1) Styles.
1a) Mini dresses ~ Sexy short and if you feel confident enough to wear these dresses you will always get noticed. Mini dresses will always have that effect and should be in every girls wardrobe if you are looking for a date. The term sexy little black dress probably derived from the mini dress. Mini dresses originated from the mini skirt. The miniskirt is a skirt with a hemline well above the knees usually 20 cm about 8 inches or more above knee level.
The mini was the defining fashion symbol of Swinging 1960's.
1b) Long dresses ~ Many forms of these are made some covering from neck to shoulder, some ladies that are conservative will go for these styles. But long dresses can be very sexy should you choose the right cuts. With the addition of tiny straps and plunging necklines or carefully placed long splits to show some leg whilst a lady walks or when she is dancing.
1c) Formal Dresses ~ These dresses are suitable for formal events, including weddings usually just below knee in length. Varieties of cuts are still used but usually bust is fully covered.
1d) Casual dresses ~ Every girl probably has at least one of these dresses in their wardrobe, perfect for summer days these are casual and cool usually made for comfort, these dresses have less in the way of fancy details etc.
1e) Cocktail dresses ~ The length of cocktail dresses varies depending on fashion. The length ranges from just above the knee to touching the ankle. When it is about two inches above the ankle it is called tea length and when it is almost touching the ankle it is called ballerina length, At semi-formal occasions, less elaborate, shorter-length cocktail dresses may be worn, when gentlemen are in dark suits. By the 1980s a dress was considered to be cocktail less by where the hem fell, but more by the level of sumptuousness the garment attained.
2) Venues / going out
2a) Clubbing ~ Known as clubwear dresses used for these nights out on the town would be dresses that are for the purpose of getting noticed. Usually with low bustlines and if you have the figure for it the will also be short like a mini dress.
2b) Dinner / dance ~ Here you will be looking to wear the cocktail dress or long evening dresses a feel for a look that is stylish and classy.
2c) Prom nights ~ Short for promenade, is used to describe a formal dance held at the end of an academic year, Evening dresses with lots of details that are elegant, these prom nights have become a huge hit here in the U.K and the night is is regarded by some high school students that the prom is the most romantic night of their lives. It is also regarded as an event when a young girl changes to a young lady. Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning of a prom King and Queen, and socializing so on such a special event this usually calls for that special Prom dress.
2d) Work ~ Classic lines are usually required and dresses when worn would be just below the knee in length, Pencil dresses without fussy details are the usual desired look.
2e) Ballroom ~ Summer balls, christmas balls, infact these dinner dance events are getting ever more popular probably due to the Celebrity programs such as Strictly come dancing or dancing with the stars, the dresses for these tend to be extravigant Ball gowns come in various styles usually long dresses with an aray of features.
2f) Romantic evenings ~ That candle light dinner with the one you love, elegance and classy dresses which show your look is for his eyes only, These dresses cover you not showing to much bust and not to much leg.
2g) Holidays ~ Fun hot nights where you want to look good but stay cool at the same time, whatever your event on holiday the fabric your dresses are made from will be the most important factor. No girl likes to over heat, raising the temparture though is a completely different matter.
3) Materials
3a) Silk Dresses ~ Fine clingy material with very little stretch this fabric more associated with lingerie is good when used as a floaty parts of a dress rather than the main body.
3b) Taffita Dresses ~ More often used in prom dresses or ball gowns, great for the bodice area although heavy doesn't drape or flow.
3c) Cotton Dresses ~ Great material for the use in summer dresses or dresses that you want to keep cool in. Viscose is the best cotton to use although its important that the retailer know's what grade this is. Thin grades can make dresses see through.
3d) Chiffon Dresses ~ Rarely used for dresses as this material only has any stretch when cut on the bias, Woven high quality fabric and will usually be quite expensive. Floaty light fabric which is better when used in association with another fabric.
3e) Soft touch Dresses ~ Great fabric for dresses as this has so much stretch, this can be patterned, feels great against ladies skin. Again different grades available and retailers should be aware that the cheaper versions can also be transparent.
3f) I.T.Y Dresses ~ Poor quality fabric, cheap and nasty avoid at all costs.
3g) Lace Dresses ~ Lace dresses are lovely they really usually hang well and most laces are stretchy, although try to avoid laces that have been massed produced to reduce costs, these will be used by companies that produce poor quality products.
3h) knitwear Dresses ~ To find a good style dress made in knitwear usually is quite hard, soft and comfortable if you find a style you like these are timeless.
4) Cuts.
This is the most important factor about the dress as good quality dresses will always fit in the right places, the attention to this is often overlooked by companies as they usually will be looking for hanger appeal rather than fit. This is the advantage you have buying online when you see a dress that is being modeled. Ask yourself this - how many times have you been in a shop and liked the look of something only to try it on and it fits nothing like you imagined. ( These usually end up in the sale's)
5) Prints
Every season new prints come out and when they do evry manufacturer jumps on the bandwagon, before you know where you are the print has gone out of fashion and your dress becomes so "last year". this is the major problem with prints and some colours if i'm honest.
My advise has always been if you know that colours suit you stick to them.
6) Prices
It's true what they say "you only get what you pay for" Each company will work to different standards and if you like their standard keep using them but don't be scared to try others. If something is reduced its because the retailer can't sell them, its undesirable or gone out of fashion.
If dresses are cheap then they usually will be made cheap, we all want value for money and some less well known companies will charge less for good quality items by cutting profits in order to attract more sales, these are genuinely good value.
7) Seasons.
7a) Spring ~ an exciting time of setting the tone for the seasons ahead.
7b) Summer ~ Continuation and eleberation of the spring collections.
7c) Autumn ~ using the seasons theme with warmer materials.
7d) Winter ~ Designers work on their styles for spring.
8) Standing out.
It really is a case of knowing what suits you, If you have a dress you love and looks good on you then expand on this look, It may be that a formal dress or a long flowing dress suits you best, try to work this into the occassion you are attending. Work out the factors that you need and your dress you choose will be more likely the one that will be just what you wanted. Know what your best assets are it may be your legs it may be your bust, when you know this make this the enhanced area.
9) Feeling good.
If you get the above right you will wear your dress with confidence, you will be going out with your head held high that the dress you are wearing shows off your best assets, Tantilize everyone with this and your confidence will soar.
10) Care and Maintenance
10a) Washing and drying your dresses ~ Always abide by the washcare labels and if in doubt handwash and hang to dry.
10b) Storing dresses ~ Get yourself some good quality hangers, and don't cram the dresses together, the latter will always ensure regardless of how short notice you may need your dress it will always be ready. Afterall don't us girls like surprises.
