How to Pick How the Perfect Formal Dress for You
There are a lot of special occasions that require a formal dress including weddings, school dances, corporate events, and holiday parties. So where do you start looking? I can tell you step one ” stay away from your local mall! Why would you want to shop where everyone else going to your even is also most likely to shop?
Keep these two things in your mind while looking for a dress:
1. you need to wear something that is perfect for you and 2. perfect for the event.
Okay, they may seem like obvious things, but I see people breaking these rules all the time!
Keep in mind who is running the function and which social group you will be around. If it will be family, then you probably should not dress like you want to pick up a man (save that outfit for your boyfriends’ fraternity brother’s wedding!).
Secondly, wear something that is appropriate for you. What I mean by this is something that is age and body-type appropriate. Do not wear your knock-off, Jennifer Lopez, green, neckline plunging Grammy dress to your 8th grade Valentines dance. Find a dress that looks good on your body. Do you want to hide any trouble-spots (arms, thighs, tummy, etc)? It is also important to stay dressed in your age range. This goes for both the young and the old. Trust me that you will look the best in a dress that is true to who you are.
For me, I have the most fun when I am the most comfortable. I am the most comfortable when I am confident. And I am the most confident when I look good. Finding the perfect dress is the perfect way to look good and have a blast at any formal event.
