Evening Dresses

Buying Lovely Evening Dresses at Affordable Prices

One of the most important and vital decisions you will face at some point in your life is choosing the ideal evening dress. The actual process of shopping can be a lovely and challenging adventure. Amidst the overall overwhelming task of shopping for something special, a woman might have to deal with stressful conditions.Evening dresses can be used at proms, at receptions, at special nights out or at weddings. Evening dresses are usually purchased before choosing any complementing apparel. Therefore the choice should be the result of thorough and serious consideration.

If you are on a budget or money is an issue, you can benefit from the numerous evening dress sale events that take place all year long. They are usually held a few times a year, mostly at the end of every season. They are events at which major or smaller manufacturers and retail stores offer gowns and evening dresses to create more space for the new collection and inventory. Prices are usually very affordable and reasonable, as the discounts are huge. There are impressive deals to be found even if you opt for designer evening dresses. In these cases, some of the most renowned and elegant fashion houses offer their clothes and dresses up to half the price.

In order to get the best possible selection, you need to get information on where the event is taking place. Try to acquire some information on the particular procedures and details regarding the event. Keep in mind that most major shops have women lined up outside for many hours waiting to get as many great deals as they can. Smaller or local stores feature smaller selections and hold the event for a few days or even a week.

Whether you are buying a simple evening gown or an expensive dress, the selection criteria are the same. You need to keep the theme in mind. Is it a particular formal occasion, or something you may need at some point and you want to be prepared? Narrow down your options so as to concentrate on the evening dresses that bring out and designate your beauty and style. Keep an open mind, though. Even if you go online and do an initial research you might not find the exact same cuts and dresses you had bookmarked.

If going to a sample evening dress event or a store with a fixed idea, you might leave empty handed. Do not waste valuable time on unflattering designs and styles, especially since time is usually limited and stores tend to be rather hectic. Be prepared, but also flexible. You might come across a versatile dress that could be used on different occasions, allowing you to be very well dressed and very beautiful.

Consider your body type, choose something that makes you look nice and sexy, and why not voluptuous and curvy if that is your style. Evening dresses are supposed to be the focal point of a woman's wardrobe, because they are feminine, special and intriguing. ( C A)

Prom Dresses 2010

What is the Difference Between a Junior and Senior Prom Gown?

Whether you are going to the junior or senior prom dresses 2010, the start of a new year usually begins the mad dash to begin planning for this favorite high school event. As you are in the midst of your planning and shopping, you're likely to ask yourself this one question: What's the difference between a junior prom dress and senior prom dress? Let's talk about that now!

Junior prom dresses 2010: Although they are both fun and important events in your high school career, generally speaking - the junior prom is a less formal event. Gowns for this dance are typically shorter, more trendy and a lot cheaper than you would spend on your senior prom gown. These dresses are especially designed for girls between the ages of fourteen to seventeen years old, so they also tend to be more modest and age appropriate. In many ways, this gown is going to be more along the lines of a cocktail dress than a formal event dress. Most retailers and dress designers have special sections just for junior prom dresses, and as you browse them - you will notice that there is an obvious difference between the styles, cuts, shapes and lengths of them. Because the junior prom is just one year away from the senior prom, try not to overspend. The dress you buy for the junior dance can also be worn to your homecoming dance during your senior year.

Senior prom dresses 2010: The senior prom is the final major dance of your high school career, and apart from your high school graduation, it will be the most memorable event as well. People tend to spend more money on the twelfth grade prom than any other event during the four years of high school. Senior prom gowns are typically more formal than their junior prom counterparts. Most teen girls will opt for longer gowns that are fitted, sophisticated and elegant. While a junior dance dress can usually be worn to other semi-formal events, you will likely only wear your senior dance dress one time. This dance is like the equivalent to a Hollywood red carpet event, so finding the most stylish and glamorous gown is extremely important.

Formal Evening Dress

Tips to Pick the Right One

It may have been that in the past you only wore a (hopefully) cheap short formal evening dress to cocktail parties. In recent years that trend has undergone a noticeable shift.. These days you see short formal evening dress at pretty much any social event, proms and homecoming dances included. You see more of them all the time and there is a vast selection of short dresses obtainable at literally all price levels.

The favored materials for formal evening dress are taffeta, chiffon, satin and silk, among others. Sleeker fabrics lend themselves to sexier looks, while fabrics like chiffon and taffeta, lighter in feel and structure, will give fun and flirty styles.

Keep the shape of your body in mind when choosing a cheap formal evening dress. While there are uncounted numbers of gorgeous dresses offered for any body type, not every type of dress works for every type of body. Dresses that are too tight or too loose don't look becoming on anybody, be they full figured or skinny. Any dress should show your body as beautiful, no matter the size you use; it should show off your femininity without revealing it all.

Remember less may be more, and I don't mean less material, but rather trying less hard to impress. The most expensive designer dress will fall flat on a woman that feels awkward in it, while a simple dress worn naturally by a woman with confidence is dazzling anytime. An uncomfortable dress not only ruins your evening, it usually isn't flattering on you either, since your confidence suffers great set backs when you feel awkward and self conscious. So being able to move freely in your formal evening dress and feeling comfortable in it is very important.

If you want to know what styles and colors look best on you, you could follow this suggestion. At a mall, try on cheap formal evening dress in different styles, lengths and colors. To know what a dress really looks like on you, try this: In the mirror you don't see all angles. Take a friend along to take a few photos of you in a dress you like with your cell phone from several angles like front, back and side view. Don't look at the photos yet, but rather try on several quite different models.

After you've tried on a variety of formal evening dress that you liked and have taken pictures of yourself in them, stop for a moment and have a look at the photos. Now you can make a decision which one looks best on you, style, fit and color, all of it. At this point you have several choices: you can buy the dress at the store or you can shop around some more to see if you can't find a comparable dress at a bargain price somewhere else (this is also a good way to be able to choose styles on the internet, since you'll know what will look good on you).

Girls Shoes

Trends Girls Shoes

Any parent or guardian knows what a challenge it can be to satisfy the needs and wants of young girls, especially when it comes to what they wear. Fashion is so very important at this stage, and keeping up with the latest trends will stymie even the most creative and committed parent or guardian. Girls shoes are a big part of this undertaking. Practicality does not need to take a second seat to style, however, since makers of girls shoes understand how hard it can be to keep those young ladies happy while satisfying the budgetary considerations of the ones who will be paying the tab.

This challenge really begins in the toddler ages. Even though infant girls may not be fully aware of just how their appearance is being presented to the public, the need to show up in attractive footwear is just as important at this point as it ever will be. Luckily, makers of girls shoes know this, and they provide a wide selection of shoes for the very young ones that will protect those fragile feet while looking good.

Parents and guardians have so many choices available to them in girls shoes for toddlers. There are athletic shoes, boots, clogs, denim shoes, sandals, and skate shoes. There are a variety of casual and dress shoes to choose from as well. Mary Janes, patent leather shoes, slip-ons, and t-straps are available in all toddler sizes. There are of course many styles of booties and easy-to-wear shoes for infant girls that are designed with the parent or guardian in mind, while at the same time staying in touch with the latest fashion trends.

As the girls get a little older, they become even more aware of their look. This means that even though they are out playing, they will still want to look their very best. Makers of girls shoes are aware of this, and they offer so many different shoes that can stand up to the wear and tear of any active young girl's daily life. Athletic shoes alone can make up a big part of a young girls wardrobe, yet the need for a sense of style and color choices is still a big part of what they want.

DC Shoes is one maker of girls shoes who has a grasp on the latest styles in athletic shoes. They offer many choices for girls starting with the very youngest ladies. Sneakers and skate shoes in different colors and materials can match any outfit while being able to hold up to the activities that are so important in girls shoes. Heely's, Saucony, Geox, and Stride Rite also offer many good choices in athletic girls shoes, from the pristine all-white style to the multi-colored look that is so very popular.

Christmas Fancy Dress

3 Alternatives to the Traditional Santa Claus Outfit

The traditional Santa Claus outfit has become extremely popular during the festive season. It seems that in the weeks leading up to the 25th December these Christmas fancy dress costumes are everywhere. On the street corner rattling a box for your money, in countless shops promoting the latest Xmas gift, in Santa's Grottos up and down the country and of course at family gatherings scaring the younger children.

The Santa Claus outfit is also the most popular costume at the end-of-year office do and festive fancy dress parties. So, if you are planning on going to one such party this year and would like to be at least a little bit original, what are the alternative Christmas fancy dress costumes that are available to you?

Reindeer

A Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer suit is always a good choice amongst the men at this time of the year. There are female versions of the costume, but I believe the really good ones out there are those for the men. Please note that not all reindeer costumes come with a red nose, but if you find a great reindeer suit that does not have one, then a red Comic Relief nose will always make a good substitute.

Angel

Ladies can choose to go to the party in a Sexy Miss Santa costume, but in my opinion an even better and far less risque choice is to go as a Christmas tree fairy or an angel. The angel outfits currently available are extremely flattering and stand out even in a room full of Christmas fancy dress costumes. I would like to say one word of warning though with this type of outfit. Make sure that the angel wings are not likely to restrict your movement at the party.

Snowman

I have saved my personal favourite to last, the Snowman costume, which I believe is the best alternative to a Santa Claus outfit. We are a nation brought up on the heart warming tale by Raymond Briggs, so a Snow man suit is always going to be well loved at the party. Also, it is a unisex outfit that comes in styles for men and women, as well as some hilarious looking novelty ones. However, if you are going to go down the novelty route, please make sure you are well aware whether your suit is easy to get in and out of with regards to visiting the bathroom during the evening.

How to Dress Correctly For Your Figure

Do you want to look good every single day? Believe it or not, if you know how to dress correctly for your figure, you can. What tops look good on an hour-glass shape? Dresses for skinny girls? The following is a women fashion guide for basic figures.

Women come in all shapes and sizes. In fact, that what's makes us all beautiful and unique. If you want to look good in whatever you wear, the trick lies in learning to play up your assets.

Do you have great legs? A small waist? Are you curvy? Here's a list of the basic shapes and the types of clothes and cuts that flatters them.

1. The Inverted Triangle

This figure type is basically broad around the shoulders, narrow on the waist. Stay away from shoulder pads and boy-cut coats. V-neck tops and flowing skirts (flaring or bubble) look really good on this body type.

2. The Triangle

The complete opposite of the inverted triangle: wide hips, narrow shoulders. Balance out your figure by buying tops with sleeves, padding or bold prints. Wear dark-colored bottoms to create the illusion of smaller hips.

3. The Hour-glass

Curvy women usually have small waists. Emphasize the smallest part of your waist by wearing belts and waist-cinching dresses. As that saying goes, "If you've got it, flaunt it!"

4. The Pole

Skinny and lanky, this body type needs to create the illusion of curves. Wear open tops (scoop necks, etc.) and flowing skirts that cinch at the waist.

70's Fashion

Fashion of the 70's

70's Fashion, 70's Music, and about the 1970's.

The 70's fashion was such a fun time and was a great decade. It was a time when people dressed really funky, men and woman wore bell bottom pants. Tie dye shirts were popular; and people loved their music and expressed themselves.

Disco dancing was in, and people were hitting the dance floor! They were doing all this funky type of dancing that was really cool. Platform shoes were worn.

Rock and roll was big, there were many great fantastic artists playing some unbelievable songs that are still are popular and are played in today's music, at that time you were either a disco or a rock and roll person!

There was also soft rock that was very romantic, great to listen to, and relaxing. These songs had a lot of meaning. Couples had their special song. It was also a great time to just hang out with that someone special or just cruise around and listened to the soft rock hits on the radio.

In the early 70's latest fashion muscle car were really awesome, they were big, had great motors and some cool body styles, it was a time to just hang out with your buddies be proud of your car and just chat about the simple things in life.

It was a time when there was no internet and the stores may have been closed on Sunday. It was a time when technology was changing and people were changing.

Abaya Fashion

The Islamic Dress of the Gulf

The term 'Abaya' has many definitions and often there is a difference over what an Abaya Fashion like, what it consists of and what colours it comes in. The way I would define an Abaya is that it is a black long cloak (one piece) that covers everything below the shoulder except hands and feet. The Abaya garment is commonly worn among the Middle Eastern khaleeji (gulf) women.

The rational behind this definition is to set the Abaya Fashion apart from the Jilbab garment which has some similarities but many differences. Jilbabs to begin with have arms which are stitched to the main body of the cloak. It has many colours and has many designs such as hooded Jilbabs and has a wider range like smart, casual, work etc. Jilbabs can incorporate more style into the actual shape of the garment like frills, flares, ruffles, cuffed sleeves, laces, pleats and much more.

Abaya Fashion, on the other hand, are one piece garments with sleeves which are not actually stitched to the body of the garment but formed as one piece. This may sound as strange as it does but it is an age old custom amongst the Arab Khaleeji (Gulf) women to wear it like that. Abayas traditionally come with embroidery on the neck, sleeves or base hem.

Abaya Fashion come in light materials as long as the colour is black such as lexus crepe, a polyester type of material for a standard priced Abaya . Abayas made from internet crepe and satin materials are higher end quality and fairly expensive and can cost anything from £100 to £300 or over. Abayas can be open fronted with buttons all the way Afrom the topa down or closed.

Modern day Abaya Fashion worn by the younger generation are moving away from the traditional embellishment on the garment. The younger generation opt for more stylish geometric, floral patterns from silver or gold embroidery, bead, sequins, multi coloured crystals for standard or Swarovski for more expensive Abayas. These intricate patterns are added onto neckline, bodice, base and flowing flared sleeves with tassel to make it look more chic, trendy and elegant for younger generation to wear Abaya.

Winter Fashion

Winter Fashion Tips to Get Noticed

Winter fashion is here and with it comes a lot of bundling up and covering up. This means that it is much harder to get noticed during the winter than in the summer when you can wear all sorts of fun articles of clothing. Even your own personal style sometimes gets hidden in those warm winter jackets and clothes. So, here are 3 ways that I've thought of to get noticed in the winter.

Add colorful accessories to your outfit such as a bright orange hat or a green scarf. Remember that movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic?" The green scarf in that movie was the main characters' distinguishing feature and using that name really got people's attention. This is the same thing you should do. Wear something different that someone can identify you by. This way, if someone asks about you, it will be easy for someone else to tell them who you are. If you're in school or work in an office where there are a lot of people, this is especially important.

Wear fitted clothes: This is really important. A lot of people buy sweaters that are big or baggy. Essentially, this tells people nothing. Actually, even worse, it could tell people that you are trying to hide something underneath your clothes and that you don't have a good figure. It is especially important during the winter to make sure your clothes are flattering and form fitting. If you want to wear something baggy, add a belt to show your waist. Also, make sure your leggings or jeans fit so that people can at least see that you have nice legs. Whatever your assets, make sure your clothes are showing them off and not hiding them.

Wear a cool jacket in a bright color: Here is a great thing to do. Choose a jacket in a bright color so it stands out from all of the blacks and the greys that you see all winter . Something like a red pea coat would really be striking and cute. Red is also a very alluring color and studies have shown that it catches your eye much easier than many other colors and makes people believe that the other person is more attractive. The alternative to that is to wear a white pea coat. I say a pea coat because these coats are cute, but also very classic. The color white also stands out well against the sea of black you will see out on the street.

Pregnancy Fashion

7 Easy Style Tips For Expectant Mothers

Pregnancy fashion has changed a lot in recent years. Maternity no longer means wearing big, shapeless dresses and drab sweat pants. There are tons of flattering maternity styles to chose from, ranging from casual to red-carpet formal. So there is no reason to hide. Your pregnancy is a time to try on new styles and have fun with your wardrobe. Here are 7 easy style tips that'll keep you looking great.

1. Bold Jewelry
Much of what constitutes maternity fashion involves tasteful, but simple outfits. Single colors and long planes are common in maternity dresses, for example. But rather than a handicap, this creates the perfect opportunity to accentuate your outfit with large, bold jewelry. If worn with an already-extravagant, a big diamond-studded necklace can be a bit much. Same goes for long, chandelier earrings. But the simple elegance of many maternity makes it easy to flaunt the bold jewelry.

2. The Empire Waist
Empire waist dresses were (and still are) all the rage among last year's pregnancy fashion. The likes of Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba attended film festivals and movie premiers looking regal and stylish. The empire waist dress has a seam right above the belly, just below the breasts. This gives your body shape and form, instead of hiding it under a plain, draping dress.

3. Stock up on Tees
It's good to have fun with your pregnancy fashion. Stock up on maternity t-shirts so you can stay comfortable while at home or out on a casual stroll. Choose stretchy fabric that will adjust to your changing shape. And feel free to combine tees with sport coats and jackets, to give your look an easy, semi-formal look when needed.

4. Show Some Skin
Since a lot of attention will automatically be steered towards your belly, take the opportunity to show off other parts of your body. The next time you go to a cocktail party, try out a backless dress, or a strapless one that shows-off your shoulders. Pregnancy usually also means an increased bust size: perfect time to wear an elegant, tasteful, low-cut gown to your next formal event.

5. Maternity Bras
Instead of buying the traditional, boring maternity bras, look for designer brands like Nearly Nude that specialize in maternity lingerie and underwear. Aside from the bedroom-wear, you'll find special strapless bras designed to provide the extra support needed while still letting you wear those strapless dresses you know and love.

6. Floral Dresses
For spring and summer, there's nothing better than light floral dresses. During pregnancy, especially, the colorful designs help to make your belly bump look flattering. Dresses with long flaring skirts and thin (or non-existent) shoulder straps are perfect for sunny days.

7. Maternity Jeans
You no longer have to be confined to sweat pants when want the mobility not afforded by dresses. There are plenty of maternity brands out there that offer jeans made especially to fit the disproportionate waistline you acquire during pregnancy fashion.

Hip Hop Fashion

Keeping Hip and Trendy

Even though hip hop fashion is more understated than hip hop fashion, it is still very important. You may not hear about it as much, or see as many ads with men as the fashion models, but fashion IS a man's world too, especially in the realm of hip hop.

Hip hop fashion has changed over the years, but there are a few staples that have not really changed. The b-boys know what they are. Baseball caps, under tees, t-shirts, loose fitting jeans and white sneakers seem as if they will never go out of style.

Of course, as with anything (especially fashions) even the most classic things get updated. New color schemes and textures come into play. Right now you see a lot of bright, almost neon colors, whereas in the early 90's it was blacks, reds, and greens, and other muted primary color, a tribute to the colors of Africa. In the 80's, the beginning of hip hop fashion, it was black and leather.

Baseball caps are not just a hip hop fashion, but an American classic that will never go away. The only thing that has changed is the fact that an actual baseball team need not be advertised on the hat. They can be plain, make a political statement, or have a brand or band logo on them. They are in fact a major money maker for many Hip Hop Fashion labels.

Plain white under shirts are worn by many more people than people in the hip hop world as well, but rock bands made it popular to wear them alone. Many a woman will tell you that it looks very sexy to see a man in nothing more than a clean white under tank, or "wife-beater", jeans, and white sneakers on.

The t-shirt is another American classic that has been commandeered by the hip hop world. Many people think of tees as strictly casual, but the world of fashion knows how to dress them up. Matching your t-shirt to your hat and shoes is, and has been for some time, quite popular in hip hop. Tees come in varieties never thought possible and aren't just casual any longer. Every major clothing brand has a plethora of tee shirts available to choose from.

Egyptian Jewelry Galery

Egyptian Jewelry Galery

Jewelry and fashion go hand in hand. Models wear some type of jewelry on their outfit that fit the mood as the fashion conscious individual of the day looks for elegant jewelry. Egyptian jewelry galery is an unusual one since it is not confined to be worn by one gender.

There are many unusual and graceful styles men and women can wear. The designs have the ability to meld with what you are wearing. This means that you can be wearing a modern pants suit yet a modern Cartouche necklace will do well. This ability makes the Egyptian jewelry very popular with the fashion conscious despite the fact that it lacks the precious gemstones embedded in it

Egyptian Jewelry

The earliest examples of Egyptian jewelry which have come down to us are those of the Pre dynastic period (more than 3000 years B.C.), where the Egyptians had been making beads and ornaments of semi precious stones such as amethyst, lapis lazuli, cornelian, Quartz, Garnet, Turquoise , and other objects. They also used man made materials such as glazed objects and colored glass imitating semi precious stones. Most of the materials used in making these beads were chosen for their color symbolization or amulet significance especially the ones used in making funerary jewelry, as they had a religious and magical significance in the Egyptian ancient world by protecting the wearer from evil. Turquoise for example was a symbol of fertility, good luck, and as protection from the evil eye.

The real start of Egyptian jewelry was when ancient Egyptians had access to precious metals, for even in ancient times, Egypt was envied for its underground treasures. At first they got these metals from the Eastern Desert and Nubia , later too as tribute and spoils of war from Syria and the north. Mining was often carried out by convicts under military control. This was a dangerous endeavor from which many of the laborers probably never returned.

Up until the Middle Kingdom, silver was considered as valuable to the Egyptians as gold, but after that time frame, Egyptians seem to have become fanatical over gold. Egypt was richer in gold than any other country of the region. Statues, furniture, vessels and jewelry, above all in the royal household and the temples, were often created from these precious metals.

So You Want To Be A Fashion Model?

Have you ever thought about becoming a fashion model? Do you think you have what it takes for that kind of job? The typical fashion model travels to exotic places, models the latest clothes, fashions, and accessories from top designers, and can even be featured in various magazines, which of course can also then lead to being pursued by manufacturers for you to do product endorsements.

But that is typically not where a fashion model STARTS. Like anything else, a fashion model or teen model usually starts significantly lower on the totem pole while they are gaining visibility with potential clients and top modeling agencies around the world. But if you are willing to “pay your dues”, the rewards can be fabulous from many perspectives, including travel, mingling with celebrities, attending exclusive events, and of course from a financial perspective. Top models can earn upwards of thousands of dollars per day.

Fashion model is no longer limited to just the “perfect” people anymore with the great looks, superb hair, and a Barbie-doll figure. Particularly in recent years, the fashion designers have started to realize that by only targeting the “perfect” people, they were ignoring a large portion, indeed a MAJORITY, of the audiences they could potentially target to sell their merchandise, accessories, and fashions.

That being the case, there is also a market for fashion models that almost spans the entire range of types of people; i.e., the petite, the “plus size”, the teen, the “mature”, and yes even the retiree crowd. Think about it, all those types of people have money also, and are willing to spend it if they are aware of the possibilities and availability of their products. And selling their creations and fashions is what they are in business for! To become a successful fashion model today, you no longer need to be limited to the group that is about 5 foot 8 inches tall at 120 pounds with perfect bouncy hair and about 22 years old.

Fashion Photography

Fashion Photography

Do you want to be a fashion photographer? Fashion photography is an extremely tough market to break into, but if you are willing to work hard, have a good imagination and hold the ability to take perfect images you are off to a good start.

A fashion photographer must be good in two photography disciplines. First, you need to be a great portrait photographer - second, you need to be able to create images for the advertisement market. You must be able to combine the two if you are going to succeed.

To be a successful fashion photographer you must also have a love of fine design clothes - without it you will never achieve the heights that bring success. A fashion photographer must stay up to date with all the latest fashion and have the ability to use his/her imagination to sell new designs. Selling is the key - the fashion photographer must be able to sell his images to the fashion editor. Fashion photography is advertising and selling clothes.

To establish a reputation in fashion photography, the first thing you must do is set up a portfolio. Your portfolio should display your best work and be your first selling point. The second, and equally as important as the first, is to set up an online portfolio - your own personal Website.

To set up a portfolio you first must hire a model. Contacting your local modelling agencies can do this. You don't need to hire a well-known model for your fashion portfolio - you need someone who will act well in front of the camera.

To be very successful you need to build a good relationship with models. Some models can be tough to work with so people psychology will play an important part. If you intend to shoot from your home studio supply a changing room for them.

If a model becomes unhappy for any reason the photo session will be a waste of time. Allow your model to make their own suggestions - regardless of how trivial it may be, it will help to keep them relaxed and you may get results that may be useful.
