Woman, Bridal Party, Lineup, Wedding

A party dress is a dress worn especially for a party. There are different  types of party such as children’s party, cocktail  party , garden party and costume party, dinner party, Baptism party, wedding party, company or business party, all of which would tend to require different  dress styles.In other to stand out, you need to first of all know the following. I also have a bonus tip for you, so ride along.

How  to choose a party dress

This is a million dollar party question, especially if you want to avoid embarrassing yourself and your host. Also if you don’t want to look overdressed or under-dressed. Most host or celebrants of parties like weddings, dinner party, costume party and so on, always tells their invitees what dress type to wear, which if not mentioned can be derived from the theme of the party and their preferred color or from your knowledge of dress codes to such occasions.

This information canalizes the choice of color, pattern, and fabric of your dress and helps you look appropriate for the party.

You definitely need to also consider the following when choosing a party dress. Below are 4 points to help you.

  1. Know the type of party.

Each party has a dress appropriate for it; societal norms. . For example, if you are going to a wedding do not wear white, the color is reserved for the bride and if it’s a company or business party, do not put on too revealing and provocative dress, you want to be taken seriously even while you unwine.

Also, dress for a baptism party will be more conservative than that of a birthday party with friends.

2. Age range and personality of the people at the party

A dress to a Governor’s birthday party won’t be the same as a dress to a friend’s birthday party. The same kind of dress cannot be worn to both parties. The former will need a conservative less revealing dress while with the later you can go for either too revealing or not revealing at all, it will depend on you, it’s a friend’s party.

3. Time

Party dresses are also not worn haphazardly. There are party dresses appropriate at formal and informal night parties and same at day time.  A party in the evening will demand an evening party dress same thing for a day time party.

4. Place.

The place also conditions your party dress. Say you are going for a dinner party at the presidency (a formal party), even without a dress code or color choice given to you, you wouldn’t wear a very short revealing dress to the party. You will naturally choose a long not revealing party dress which is better appropriate for the place you are going.

There is this question I believe its in your mind, which is; must one buy a new dress for every party. Yeah I sure guessed right?

The answer is yes, especially if you can afford it. This is because each party has a feeling, theme, color, awe and mood attach to it. Ladies you can attest that you feel and move differently in a new dress. Oyeahh! you know the feeling right? I do agree and it also has a way of boosting your self confidence level to the brim.

But hey! You shouldn’t also go bankrupt if you can’t afford to play dress each time you got an invitation for a party.

Secrets to always looking good for any party with the same dress.

Now ladies, pay attention to this. I know it’s in our nature to be complimented and be the center of attention where ever we are, either consciously or unconsciously and we love to always stand out in our own special way in social gatherings.  

If you are a socialite and your bank account can’t handle buying a new dress all the time, there are dresses you should buy that you can use for more than one party. I see you are curious… sound interesting? Want to know more?

Here you go

           It’s the little black dress (LBD). One classic style of party dress for women         in modern society is the little black dress.

 It is considered essential to a complete wardrobe by many women and fashion observers, who believe it a “rule of fashion” that every woman should own a simple, elegant black dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the   occasion. It is also perfect for cocktails or semi-formal parties.

 You can choose to have a sheath dress or a knee level lace dress.  The same sheath dress can be use for a company party, birthday party, and garden party. A the same knee level lace dress can also be used for a company party, birthday party, dinner party, garden party, wedding party, ball  and cocktail party.

All you need to do is to spice up your look with different accessories, like a purse, shoes, hairstyle, bangles or watch, necklace, head pieces and so on. Each accessory will give your black dress a different look and flare.

Oh wait a minute! Do not get me wrong. I am not asking you to show up at every party you are invited to in a little black dress. What I am saying is, it’s a fashion must have in your wardrobe because you can wear it more than once and it will be difficult to detect.
