The Evening Awaits: Choosing the Perfect Evening Gown

The big event is a week away and you’re still looking for the perfect evening gown? No worries—we’ve all been there! We understand how overwhelming it can be to dig through endless racks of dresses, so we compiled a list of things to consider when shopping for your dress:

 

The Occasion

 

When shopping for the perfect evening gown, it is important to consider the nature of the event. Is it a formal or casual setting? You don’t want to show up in a simple cocktail dress if you’re attending a black-tie event. Know your environment!

 

Color

 

The color of your dress is important for a number of reasons! You want to choose a color that best suits your complexion in order to achieve the most flattering look. If you don’t know what colors are most flattering on you, opt for a black dress!

 

Body Shape

 

Whatever the event, you will have eyes on you all night long, so choose a dress that flatters your body shape. Take note of how certain fabrics cling to your curves or other features. Cotton and silk are flattering on most body types.

 

Accessories

 

We’re all guilty of having bought an article of clothing we don’t know how to accessorize! When searching for an evening gown, consider how you might “dress it up.” A statement necklace? A sequined clutch? If the dress is bold enough on its own, opt for no accessories.

 

Future Events

 

It’s a waste of money to buy a dress you can only wear on one occasion. For ladies on a budget, look for an evening gown that would be appropriate for a variety of occasions.
