          How to choose your evening dress

          choisir sa robe de mariée

          You are invited to an important event in the evening, and you do not know what to wear? Bet on a dress! But to which model do you turn? Editus makes the point for you ... Follow the guide !

          The long dress    

          Rarely worn in the evening, it is a way for you to stand out!

          Nevertheless, it is more suitable for those who have a slender figure because if you are small size, this model will not show you.

          Side shoes, forget the high heels and favor the pumps.

          The strapless dress    

          Rather sexy, it is suitable for all, big or small. On the other hand, it is better not to wear it if you are wide at the shoulders because it will only accentuate your bust.

          Keep it simple and avoid too many accessories with this outfit : the neckline is enough, so bet only on a pair of earrings or a bracelet.

          The cocktail dress

          Its definition is quite vague but let's go and say that it is a little dress not too pretentious, that you can wear during your day at work before going to an evening.

          The advantage? It is suitable for all women!

          Colorful or in a neutral tone, united or with patterns, it combines with a pair of ballerinas, boots or pumps

          The short dress

          Ideal to put your legs in value , it is a must when it is united. Better to avoid any additional fantasy, the short size is enough.

          It is suitable for all, especially those who are not very large since it will give the impression of lengthening the legs, especially with high heels.

          The glitter dress

          To not look like a mirror ball, it's better to choose it and not want to do too much: drop shoes and bags with rhinestones, go for something more classic.

          Be careful also, because glitter and sequins have the annoying tendency to enlarge the silhouette: it is therefore to banish if you have generous forms .

          The black dress

          Timeless , it is suitable for all situations, whether classic or revisited with some details.

          The White dress

          To wear in summer and when the sun is on, only on the condition that your skin is a minimum tanned. Of course, this color is not to wear during a wedding, unless you are the bride.

          Moreover, depending on your complexion, which colors to favor? 

          If you are skin mate , choose tones such as white , but also pink and yellow . By cons, avoid black, brown and gray because they will put less value.

          If you are clear skin , your porcelain complexion will not agree with white and yellow. All other colors are likely to suit you, it depends on their nuances. If your hair is brown or black, bet on red , it goes very well with white skin.

          Some additional tips

          You have a strong chest? Turn to a dress with a square neckline . Also favor short or 3/4 sleeves that will enhance your arms.

          If you have a belly, a straight dress or empire waist will emphasize much less your love handles than a bent model. Try to avoid satin and silk, these are two materials that will not flatter you.  

          If you have broad shoulders, the evening dress that suits you should have a nice cleavage and emphasize your chest.

          My evening dress , where do I find it? 

          In store, where a saleswoman can perfectly guide you in your choice.

          You can also do your shopping on the net, and have you delivered several dresses to try at home, before returning models that do not suit you. On the net, you will also see that there are now sites to rent evening dresses for a defined period: ideal for those who do not want to spend too much money! 

          What if I do not want to wear a dress?

          Then bet on a pair of pants or a woman's tuxedo with pumps and a clutch.
