These 20 Tricks Are A Must-Know When Buying a New Dress

Shopping for a new dress is the dream for any fashionista and shopaholic. But before we get to wearing the gorgeous new gown to a wedding, prom, a black tie ball or a fancy brunch event, there are a few factors you must know for shopping. Make this retail therapy as therapeutic as possible with our top 20 fashion tricks for shopping that new dress!

1. Always Try Before You Buy

17. Check Out All the Angles

Ensure you check all the angles of the dress using the mirror (or all mirrors if possible). The dress may look great from the front but when you turn to the side does it pop out in any areas that it shouldn’t?
