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
This really should be a #1 rule for anything fashion-related. Dresses especially will look very different once you’ve tried it on, in comparison to the hangar or the not-so-realistic mannequin in the shop window.
3. Know Your Body Shape
Us ladies all have different body shapes, and we should never be ashamed of that! Whether you’re curvy, short, slim or just have big boobs, keep in mind that body shapes suit different dresses. A wrap dress does wonders for those with bustier chests and small waists (the hourglass), while v-neck looks are more suited to those with moderate sized chests. Shift dresses are perfect for those who have a wider waist than the lower body (the apple). The column dress is a great fit for the slim body shape (the banana) that elongates your limbs too. Opt for fit & flare styles if you carry more weight around your hips than elsewhere (the pear) for a flattering finish.
