Not everyone is allowed to shine at royal balls, but every woman desires to become "the queen of the ball" (whether it's a school graduation balloon, an exhibition opening or a corporate party in the company). And each one creates in his imagination his ideal image and seeks to match it. It can be and deliberately strict, and romantic, and mysterious - modern fashion allows a variety of styles, most importantly, that it was thought through to the last detail and corresponded to the worldview. Skeptics - men will certainly add - as well as age and figure. But we know our own merits, and we know how to hide the shortcomings (which obviously are not). Therefore, we will begin to choose the evening dress with the fact that we carefully examine ourselves in the mirror, as they say, from head to foot. So, today in our article you will learn how to choose the right dress.
It is hardly possible to hide your legs completely, not the times when the open ankle of a woman was considered indecent. But they must also be opened "skillfully". Long slender legs of sin are not emphasized with a short skirt. Heavy hips can be hidden if you wear a long skirt, but a long "strategic" cut from the side will certainly add to the figure of eroticism. An inflated skirt with an overstated waist will visually lengthen the legs, if they are short.
Having a beautiful bust, let's have a deep neckline and open our shoulders. For narrow shoulders, a deep neckline is more suitable, for round shoulders a rounded one. Do not dare or embarrass ourselves to decollete - then pick up a dress with an open back. And so that it does not look too frank - slightly veil the cutouts with lace.
Fashion legislators - the French say that the best figure is a hanger, you can drape it as you please. But especially emphasize the thinness is still not worth it, so as not to overdo it. At too thin figure the trapezoidal dress will approach much more, rather than a tight toilet.
A full woman should be treated with particular care when choosing an evening outfit. And first of all, find out the parameters of your figure (waist, hips, chest). Everyday and evening dresses of the same size still differ in "capacity", so you need to proceed from your own parameters, and not indicated on the label. By the way, "to move" the extra centimeters from the waist to the bust will help correcting underwear or corset. His blessing in recent years, "increased in status" and ranked as top clothes.
Low heels will be "helped" by high heels of shoes and high ("under the chest") waist. Handy salvation will have long sleeves, preferably flared downwards, and for the broad shoulders of the sleeves, slightly volatile ones will do.
Fabrics for evening dress can be any - from flying and flowing chiffon to heavy velvet and tight skin. Beautiful and stylish can be a dress made of flax or expensive satin. But, of course, each material requires its own style (and vice versa). Colors can also be any. Although for evening dresses, the appropriate time of day is considered preferable - black, blue, cherry, purple. But the focus is still on the color that you are more.
And one more small detail. Although modern fashion is quite democratic, but going for an official reception, for example, it should be remembered that decollete is not very appropriate if the reception starts before 18 hours, a slightly decollete chest - in rules of decency after 20. And after 22 hours - it is possible sufficiently deep neckline. And more about "openness" - gloves are desirable for short-sleeved dresses. The shorter the sleeve, the longer the gloves.
In addition, the evening outfit is chosen depending on the "importance of the event." If it is very high level, then the evening toilet should be full - necessarily a long dress, "closed" (gloves or a cape) hands, stylized hair. Shoes with heels too closed. If it is supposed, for example, a meeting of a foreign delegation - the dress code is simpler, but also without unduly exposed body parts and bright ornaments. At a semi-formal meeting, you can also dress a cocktail dress.
Shoes for women's attractiveness is important no less, if not more than a dress. First of all, it should be in size and comfortable. To sit all evening in a chair, as "the shoes are tight", boring, and it will not be possible. Nevertheless, the wedges, sometimes suitable for a business suit, do not suit the evening toilet decisively - only shoes with heels. But the height of the heel depends on how confident you feel on it. A very thin and high heel is advisable with an average length of the outfit. With a mini-skirt, he can create the impression of vulgarity, but with too long - just "lost." The most appropriate color of shoes for the evening dress is black. Although if the dress is also black, then a brighter option is possible. But then in a tone to it it is necessary to select also accessories (for example, a handbag). And in any case, shoes should be monophonic and preferably without shiny accessories, especially if the dress is of shiny fabric or variegated. But if the silhouette of the outfit is simple, and the coloring is calm, then the color of shoes can be more "extreme". In the simplicity of dress and elegance of shoes, too, has its own chic. (An old parable about peacocks tells how men peacocks asked nature for a beautiful tail, and the ladies, being wiser, confined themselves to a crown on the head and graceful legs). By the way, ordinary shoes can be turned into trim with the help of accessories (various rings with heels, straps, clips).
Traditionally, shoes are chosen for a few tones darker than the "top outfit." But you can also "play on the contrast" - red sandals for a dress of lavender color.
Choose sandals or closed shoes? This also depends on the style and material of the dress. With flying chiffon, open sandals will look good. To a more strict style and heavy velvet - only shoes. By the way, in recent years, the fashionable component of the evening dress has become boots or boots - stockings. But, for the sake of justice, we must say that they are more suitable for young girls than for ladies of Balzac and post-Balzacian age.
But whatever shoes, stockings or pantyhose for the evening dresses are strictly required. You should think about the underwear, without reassuring yourself that "it's still not visible." Under transparent fabrics with good lighting, the laundry can be seen clearly. And most importantly, it is precisely it that "shapes the figure" first.
Whether to take a purse with you - it's up to you. On the one hand, you need somewhere to put keys and a cosmetic bag, on the other - to dance with a handbag in the hands is not very convenient. But the handbag must necessarily be small and in harmony with the outfit. The best option is when it is made of the same material (for example leather), and the same color as the shoes.
Regarding jewelry - there is one absolute rule - they should not be much, even if they are from real precious metals and stones. And it is not worth it to hang on to yourself a lot of cheap jewelry. Similarly with cosmetics. Evening cosmetics can be brighter than the day, but electric light is often more ruthless than sunlight. Therefore - moderation.
The last look in the mirror and - go to fascinate and win!
