How to choose a perfect cocktail dress

A cocktail dress is a party wear for several occasions, birthday parties, anniversaries, corporate dinners, fashion shows, charity events, and others. The cocktail dresses come maximum to knee length or shorter. While the little black dress is the all time favorite, other colors like purple, blue, pink, brown, magenta etc have covered the beautiful figure of women! The cocktail dresses became popular in the 1930s when women felt the need to wear something light and stylish for evening social calls. Thus was invented the cocktail dress – short, simple, yet stylish.

Now, if you need a cocktail dress and don’t know where to start given the melange of options these days, try buying them online. Major clothing houses run their online shopping sites too. View our Cocktail Dresse

Do you want to wear run of the mill cocktail dress or do you want to make every head turn to you when you step into the room? Second option sounds appealing, right! Now when you are ordering online, you should be careful of the size, length, color, material, and design of the dress. When you buy from clothing stores yourself, it is better to ask the sales representative about his/her recommendations for you. Often they are the ones who can give trusted suggestion. When you opt for a trial, look at yourself in a three – way mirror; it helps to see the fitting of the dress from all proportions. Your dressing should reflect your individual style!

What Else?

Apart from the cocktail dress, you would need jewelry, a handbag, and heels.

Jewellry – With cocktail dresses, never be too decked up in jewelry and make-up. While lip gloss and eye liner would complete the look, choose minimum jewelry. Obviously, jewelry should be in accordance with the cocktail dress. For instance, if you are wearing halter necks, then a pair of earring would be much suitable than a necklace. Jewelry should compliment your features and not make you a feel uncomfortable.

Handbag – Women’s cherished possession! Choose a handbag that compliments the color of the dress. The color should not be too flashy! Size of the handbag depends upon what you want to carry. However, it is advised to carry along minimal things so a small handbag or small wallet would be sufficient.

Heels – Well, heels are harmful these days but we all know without heels, cocktail dresses will not have the same appeal. So, wear 3 inches heel if you can manage because parties sometimes tend to stretch longer and you would not want to return home with sore feet. Also, the color should be complimentary with the dress.
