How To Make A Gown Look Luxurious
Even with a simple, modest and inexpensive dress you can create a magic look like you got a couture gown from the most respectable designer. There are some crafty ways how to make a gown look luxurious.
No matter if you have a wedding, prom, cocktail or evening dress it ought to fit you perfectly. If it’s too shabby, too long or too tight, you’ll look ridiculously. And even with the most expensive dress the whole look will be just sloven. So, purchase only your size and get the dress altered by a professional seamstress.
Never neglect the undergarments. They actually enhance the look and emphasize the assets. Your must-have is a custom bra. Curvy ladies with large bust should choose a strapless bra with wider band for a better support. On the contrary, small bust will require push up pads to be sewn into the dress.
Consider a petticoat to go with a full skirt. You probably saw the pictures of amazing dresses but when tried one yourself found it doesn’t look exactly the same. The long skirt collapses into itself and traps between your legs and generally the whole gown looks cheap and untidy. To fix the inconvenience and make a full-skirted gown look more beautiful holding its shape, buy an underskirt.
When it comes to embellishments, it’s better to choose less embellished gown (means less beaded). You don’t want to shine and sparkle on your special occasion, you just want to look charming and naturally beautiful. So, if you have a choice, go for sparsely beaded or an unbeaded gown at all.
You may think that the unembellished gown will look plain and unattractive. But using the right accessories, you can add more luxurious look to your gown in no time. Belt or sashes will accentuate your waistline. And here you can use beads if you’d like so. Sash can be either in contrasting color or matching with the dress palette. You can create more exquisite and elegant look by using an omate brooch.
Don’t forget about bolero. A matching silk or lace bolero will create a gorgeous ensemble!
If the back of the dress is straight, get it altered into a more couture and sexy shape like V or U. For a more luxury look you may want to choose a strapless or narrow-strapped dress.
So, with few tricks and alterations you can rearrange your dress and make it more elegant / sexy / romantic but definitely luxurious!
