wedding dress

Everyone thinks they know how to choose a wedding gown. What most women don’t realize is fabrics, style and measurements can influence the style of wedding dress that best compliments a particular body type.

FULL FIGURED WOMEN

If you are a full figured woman the best silhouette is the A- Line style. A-line style lengthens the whole body without drawing attention to your waistline. The empire waist is another good choice. The empire is narrowest just below the bust and conceals your waist and hips.

Many plus size girls tend to purchase wedding gowns that cover a lot of skin. If religion isn’t an issue don’t be afraid to show some skin. Skin is sexy and showing your arms and neckline can often make one appear smaller.

Deep V necks and scoop necks flatter curvy figures and always look best on full figured women.

PETITE

A-line wedding dresses are also flattering on a petitewomen. As we stated earlier it lengthens the body. Sheaths seem to shorten a small body even more. Stay clear of very full skirts. You want to keep your wedding dress in proportion to your body.

Be careful with strapless.

A petite woman may have to lift her arms to reach up to her new husband.

A cap sleeve gives the feeling of a strapless gown and also serves a practical purpose in holding the gown in place.

LARGE BUSTED WOMEN

Off the shoulder gowns look wonderful on a full bust. It draws our attention upward, emphasizes the shoulders and minimizes the chest. Keep your skirt narrow. Wearing a full skirt will make you look large on top and bottom

BOTTOM HEAVY

Women who are larger through their hips and buttocks should look for a wedding dress that focuses on their upper body preferably with a full skirt.

Show your arms back and bustline.

Corset style bodice with lacing will highlight your upper body. We want to draw attention away from your hips. Avoid pleats or gathered fabric around the waist. An A-line skirted wedding dress always works the best.

Perfect for Fun Night

Wearing the short skirt is perfect for enjoying the fun night. Going out of the town in one of the short outfits may turn out to be most enjoyable for teenager as well as young women. Moreover the women with good legs in addition to shapely figures will look ravishing in mini skirts.

Fashion Trends of the Day

Mini skirts occupy a premier position among the women fashion dresses and also make very good sports wear especially for the tennis and badminton players. At the same time they look pretty sexy and can easily attract the attention of the male counterparts. One can buy them in the brick and concrete stores or go online. While pre-purchase trial could be the great advantage with highway stores, buying online provides the advantage of great choice and selection from a host of articles. Though online purchase women skirts or fashion suits do not provide the opportunities of verifying the fittings, one can at least check up the styles, colors and designs with them beforehand. Moreover, if the terms and conditions of the deals are made, even fittings won’t be a problem.

Seasonal Impacts

Usually the short or mini skirts are the apparel for the summer seasons and are convenient for the warm environment all around. In winter they won’t be very useful unless and until someone is over conscious about styles and fashions. However in winter they can be used as casual wear.

Appropriate Location

While the mini skirts offer breathing space for the legs, they are also fun fashion trends. However, these short dresses may not be appropriate for all locations. For instance; one cannot think of wearing them while going to the church or to schools. Schools and churches often have dress code that specifies the minimal length of the skirts that cannot be violated.

Best course for anyone wishing to use the mini skirts would therefore be deciding the season, time, and location for wearing them, however designer items they might be.

REQUIREMENTS IN DRESS

THE FIRST REQUIREMENT: Extent of Covering      

The dress must cover the whole body except for the areas specifically exempted. The Quran states:

Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers or their brothers’ sons, or their sisters’ sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And 0 you believers! Turn all toward Allah that you may attain bliss. Surat-un-Nur (24) 30-31

These ‘ayahs contain, among other thing, two main injunctions:

1. A Muslim woman should not display her beauty and adornment (zeenah) except for “that which must ordinarily appear of it” (3) (ma dhahara minha), or “that which is apparent.” (4) The word zeenah (5) lends itself to two related meanings: a) natural or bodily beauty, (6) and, b) acquired adornment such as rings, bracelets, and clothes. The part of zeenah, exempted from the above injunction, was interpreted in two ways:

a. The face and the hands. This is the interpretation of the majority of the jurists, past and present. (7) This interpretation is confirmed by ijma’ (consensus) that a Muslim woman is allowed by Islam to uncover her face and hands during pilgrimage and even during the prayers, while the rest of her body is regarded as ‘awrah (that which should be covered). (8) This interpretation is based on the authority of Prophet Muhammad (Allah’s blessing be upon him), especially the hadith in which he says: If the woman reaches the age of puberty, No (part of her body) should be seen but this – and he pointed to his face and hands.”

Fashion for Women

Fashion is a word that is very close to a woman’s heart. Irrespective of the rifts at social, economic and geographical levels, all of us are united with this common thread, fashion! Although, all of us have a liking for trendy clothes and accessories, very few of us actually make a mark of their own in the fashion world. You may have a friend who shops at the same store as you, goes to same salon as you and yet manages to make her mark through her appearance. Why? Probably because she knows as few fashion secrets and a lot of latest female fashion trends which you do not. Remember fashion for women is all about feeling good about yourself and choosing right clothes and accessories. While you will have to work upon the first part on your own, we can certainly help you with the rest. Here are some latest fashion trends in 2010 for you. Also find some fashion tips for girls and women like you.

Fashion for Women

I never quite understood the whole idea of desperately trying to look young! What’s wrong with looking your age? If you are 40, why would you like to look like a 20 year old? Fashion for women over 40 is indeed different from that for young girls. After all, how long will you be able to defy your age? At one point, you will have to give up all your efforts of looking young and live with what you are! The moment of realization may bring a lot of disappointment to some women. Hence, one fashion advice for women over 50 is that accept the fact that you won’t look eternally young and face your age with confidence. This acceptance will help you to make a wise decision while choosing outfits and accessories. Aging gracefully is the secret to looking good eternally. The most glamorous and beautiful women in history accepted their defeat to nature graciously and believed in looking their age.

I might come across as blunt, but yes, when we are talking about fashion, the role of size cannot be ignored. While we accept that real women are nowhere close to the skeletons we see on ramp, they also should not wear the clothes exhibited at such shows. Let your body choose the clothes for itself. I am not saying that overweight women shouldn’t wear short, revealing clothes, but then, women’s plus size clothing could be a better alternative for them. If figure hugging clothes make you comfortable and happy, sure go for it. But at the same time, do not blindly follow fashion trends. Just because you are 20, it does not mean that you can pull off any outfit with elan. On the other hand, mature women in their 40′s, 50′s and 60′s need not restrict them to granny clothes. If you have a great body, go ahead and flaunt it. As long as you keep your makeup and accessories sober, you sure can make a style statement even in your ripe age.

Current Fashion Trends for Women

If you are a working woman go for formal trousers and blouses for office wear. Urban fashion clothing for women is a great blend of style and professionalism. Young girls can wear knee length skirts with or without stockings. Opt for neutral colors such as brown, black, navy, gray for bottoms. Pastels shirts and blouses look great on mature women. Women’s clothing for office, should be decent and comfortable. For outings or summer parties, you can wear nice, floral printed long skirts or dresses. You also have an option of wearing capris with comfortable T-shirts. Summer dresses are apt for casual parties or patio get-togethers. Keep your outfit in sync with the weather outside.

For evening parties keep your options restricted to knee length or longer cocktail dresses. One shoulder dresses in satin or silk look extremely glamorous. Go for plunging necklines, only if you have a great body to flaunt. Invest in a nice quality party shoes and a bag. Keep jewelry to bare minimum, if your dress is already too glamorous.

The age factor that I was talking about becomes more pronounced when we talk about makeup. Young girls and women can wear bold, glittery colors and get away with it. However, a woman of 50 wearing same makeup may attract too much attention for wrong reasons. Irrespective of your age, you should apply some makeup, for that sophisticated and polished look. Go for peach, rose, plum shades of lipstick and eyeshadow for day time. Browns, mauve, purples look stunning at night. Young girls can experiment with eye shadows in bold colors such as turquoise and bright green. Hair fashion for older women and younger alike will vary as per the length, style of your hair as well as your occupation.

Yesteryear’s Fashion for Women

Now that we are done with predicting 2010 fashion trends for women, wouldn’t it be fascinating to know ‘What the 1800′s fashion was like?’ This era is also called as the Victorian era, after the ruling Queen Victoria. Two thirds of this century was dominated by the Victorian culture. Victorian fashion for women was influenced by none other than Queen Victoria. Long flowing, floral printed gowns with bell sleeves was the trademark 18th century fashion costume and clothing. The fetish for high heels among women began to grow from this era itself. This era was also marked with rapid changes in the socio-economic condition of the world. The rift between social classes began to diminish. While fashion in the middle ages was strictly based on the social class of the person, fashion in the 1800s was more egalitarian in a way. For instance, royal fabrics like silk, velvet were not restricted to the monarchs.

The 1900′s were a time to welcome the revolutionary changes in every field. These changes were also reflected in the fashion industry. With the introduction of newer mediums of entertainment, first cinema and then television, fashion trends in this century were highly influenced by the silver screen. Women became liberal in more ways than one and managed to make their presence felt in various walks of life. Naturally, 1900s fashion for women was more about comfort, convenience and a strong reflection of their personal identity. Each decade had something new to offer to the fashion industry. However, retro fashion can be called as the landmark of this century. Not only was this fashion style lifted from silver screen, but it was also responsible for the growing sense of fashion consciousness among common people. Let us take a quick walk through the memory lane to know all about famous fashion clothing in each decade.
