Formal Gowns come in a wide range of different cuts and styles, so choosing one that’s right for that formal event you’re planning on attending shouldn’t be too hard. If you’re having trouble deciding, the best thing to do is to ask your friends what they think. Chances are, more than a few of your closest girlfriends have been to a similar event, and they know what colors and styles would be a good choice. Also, once you’ve narrowed your selections to a few dresses, don’t hesitate to ask your boyfriend or some of your guy friends about what they think. Sure, they’re guys, but after all, you want to impress them too!
Some of the season’s hottest designs this year are Formal Dresses with Mermaid and Trumpet style cuts. These types of dresses have a very slinky, fitted bodice that hugs your body like a glove, and a skirt that is tight around the waist and upper things, and then flares out right at about the knees. You’ve probably seen a lot of these being worn on the Red Carpet at award ceremonies and the like because they really have an air of sophistication.
Empire and A-Line style dresses are always a good choice for most girls, but especially so for full figured women. Both of these styles feature long, breezy, and loose skirts that start up high, and fall gently to the floor. These simple, yet sophisticated designs maintain that formal look, all the while being very comfortable and flirty.
Gowns with a dropped waist are also very fashionable this season, because they really bring out your assets. The tightly fitted waist makes your bottom stand out nicely, making dropped waist dresses very sexy yet formal.
When it comes to length, formal dresses generally reach the floor. Compared to shorter Cocktail Dresses, the Formal Gown is a little more reserved with a more conservative length that does not expose the ankles. But of course, for those brave enough, the rules are made to be broken, and you can still find an acceptable dress that is just a touch shorter than the rest. To play it safe, and still be fun, you can always go with a floor length skirt that has a nice sexy slit up the thigh. This way you get the best of both worlds.
Now, just because you’re headed out to a formal “black tie” event, that doesn’t mean you can’t buy a dress that’s not fun. Beading and re embroidery are always good touches for a formal dress, and a delicate bow is a great embellishment wherever it may be: on the shoulder, waist, or side. The neckline is another place where you can have some fun and indulge your wild side. A plunging neckline will get you the attention you deserve, and it also opens up your chest for a beautiful piece of silver or gold, that can really finish off your ensemble quite well. Sweetheart neckline will also do the same, while a halter top design may leave the excitement for the back, and the back is always very sexy, yet more acceptable to show more of than the bust.
So when your out to buy dresses, keep these little tips in mind, but most of all, just have fun and pick a dress you would feel comfortable flaunting, though pushing the envelope just a little is always fun!
