Most brides spend hundred and even thousands of pounds on their wedding dresses. Dresses are not cheap and are probably the most expensive piece of clothing you will buy during your lifetime. Traditional and with the majority of wedding dresses, they are white or a very light colour like beige. Obviously this means that any marks or dirt will show up more readily.

During the actual wedding, in having a great time and enjoying yourself, your dress will get some dirt on it no matter how careful you are trying to be. Panic not as you can always clean your dress. You can always try and clean the dress yourself but this is not recommended! There are professional dry cleaners who specialise in cleaning wedding dresses.

Wedding dresses are usually substantial garments and therefore cleaning them is a a task in itself. Not only that, the value of wedding dresses means that the dry cleaners do need to cover themselves with insurance in case anything goes wrong. Due to these factors, having your dress dry cleaned is an expensive business. It can cost a couple of hundred pounds and in some cases can cost a percentage of the cost of your dress. I have come across people who were charged 10% of the cost of the dress! A large proportion of this goes towards the insurance.

Once your dress is dry cleaned, then you need a proper dress storage box for it that is the right size and more importantly is pH neutral. This means that there is no acidity or alkalinity within the material of the box. This is important because over time, any acidity or alkalinity can over time degrade the fabric of the dress or discolour it. So, when you have your dress boxed, store it somewhere at room temperature so you avoid wide temperature fluctuations.

The main piece of advice on this site is to invest in getting your dress professionally dry cleaned rather than doing it yourself. Once cleaned, store it properly in a pH neutral dress box.

When selecting a flower girl dress for your wedding, there are many things to consider – the age and height of the flower girl, wedding colors, dress length, dress style, and so forth. The first step is to know what styles of flower girl dresses are available.

First one should know the roles for “Flower Girls”. There are really three distinct roles for little flower girls in a wedding. Flower Girl – a child attendant wearing a child-like dress in either Tea or Formal length who usually carries either a basket of petals to strew on the aisle or path announcing the arrival of the Bride. Miniature / Jr. Bride – a child dressed like a bride.

This role comes from medieval times as a decoy to lure evil spirits away from the Bride to avoid a curse on the marriage.  She may wear a miniaturized version of the Bride’s gown or a  edding-style gown complete with train and flowing headpiece.  She carries a bouquet. Jr. Brides Maid – older girls certainly prefer this designation.  The young ladies are usually dressed to coordinate more with the Brides Maids rather than in a full, fluffy little girl’s dress.

Types of dress: Selecting the right flower girl dress and accessories is an exciting time. Indeed it is a special day for the bride rather than the flower girl but what she wears will help her feel just that much more special and create memories for a life time. Traditionally and in many cultures yet today, the “little bride” look is desirable for flower girl.

 It is usually a full satin gown with plenty of trimming and a frothy veil on her head. However that trend has now disappeared in many modern parishes. Today we’re seeing a desire for clean lines and simple styles more in tea length than formal. Many feel that this helps focus the emphasis on the child and the meaning of the day. Sleeveless is also definitely popular in many locations.Light touches of beading are still very popular but it is not as ’standard’ as it once was. More modern styles will include lovely dresses with an entirely different silhouette from the standard ballgown style. Selecting the Colors: White or ivory dresses are the most popular (always coordinated with the color of the Bride’s gown).  There are many alternatives; consider the following:

A white or ivory dress and add a sash in a color close to the color of the Bride’s Maids dresses.  It may be possible to order extra fabric from the company where you order the Bride’s Maids’ dresses to have sashes made up.  Or, you can select a similar color from a child’s dress company; matching isn’t often that important.

A white or ivory flower-petal filled dress.  Select flower petals in the color of the flowers everyone will carry or the color of the Bride’s Maids’ dresses.  It is not necessary to have an exact match. When to Shop It is very important to shop early so you have the widest possible selection. 

Start shopping in early October. Shop for her headpiece at the same time – once they are out of stock, they won’t be available again this year. This will allow you time to think things through and order any style you want – even with extra dress length if necessary/available and still have time to make alterations before the day she wears it.

The prom dress is one of the most important aspects of any prom. Most young girls will agree that you only have one chance (unless you’re lucky enough to be asked to someone else’s prom) to impress. The prom has been the most anticipated day in a high school senior’s life; maybe a close second to graduation, so choosing the right dress is very important.

The great thing about prom dress styles is that there are so many styles to choose from. Many of these girls can get inspiration form just about any runway, movie, magazine or celebrity. Even though this is the prom and you will do just about anything to have the most impressive dress at the event, you still need to choose a dress that suits your body type. If you are short, a knee-length prom dress can do you justice while taller slim girls look great in long or short dresses. Luckily, there is an array of popular dresses, so the majority of girls find something more than suitable.

Bright colors and patterns are very popular amongst teens but many still prefer softer pastel tones. Strapless dresses look good with any body type, but a halter neck can also be very beautiful. Slits were very stylish in the early 1990’s, but today have fallen out of favor, and this is a style that should be avoided.

Prom Dress Styles – Hollywood Edition

Great prom dress ideas can also be taken from motion pictures. While seeing a dress on one of your favorite celebrities, you should really be able to see if you like the style of the dress or not. The majority of dresses seen on screen can be found in stores, so the need to hire a dressmaker to recreate these designs is not necessary.

“High School Musical” is one of today’s most popular films among teens. Not only does its catchy music have us singing along, but the films adorable stars have caught our attention. With “High School Musical 3’s” theme being based on a prom, the prom dress designs from the movie have inspired many prom goes and has become one of the most popular prom dress styles requested. The actresses in the movie are known for their knee length dresses with some of the freshest colors out there. They come with or without straps and flare out from the waist. Cute and adorable they complement most body types.

Who could forget Kate Hudson in her yellow long satin dress in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” or Rachel Leigh Cook’s prom dress in “She’s All That.” But it is not always the celebrities on screen dresses that have young teens copying their styles. The majority of prom dress styles and inspirations are taken from what movie stars are wearing on the red carpet. With the most popular design on the red carpet being evening gowns, many young ladies are opting for long, body hugging satin dresses with diamante embellishments or the classic Cinderella dresses that flare out. These dresses do have beautiful designs and show maturity and sophistication.

Many high school aged girls these days are wearing prom dresses that are far too revealing. Attached to the body with double-sided tape and exposing just about every piece of skin on your body is a look for our tinsel town daredevils and is not really appropriate for a prom. Not only do some of these dresses look trashy, many of them are almost impossible to keep together. Chances are you will spend the evening making sure you don’t lose your dress altogether.

From the Runway to the Magazines to…You?

Choosing to recreate a dress off the runway for your prom can be very daring. Although you will be sure to have the latest trends it is not always a good idea. Most runway dresses are very bold and some can look like nothing you’ve ever seen before. When deciding to go this route, make sure you choose something that is wearable and will not get a lot of bad stares. A very simple dress can really bring out your beauty. You want to be remembered for how great you looked, not how ridiculous.

Some designers choose to make statements and they use the runway as a platform to be creative. However, there are designers that do create dresses that are appropriate for proms and do set the up and coming trends. Just be careful not to get confused between the two.

Magazines are also a great place to get ideas for a prom dress. Some of the most popular dress styles are taken from fashion magazines such as Vogue, Seventeen Magazine and Elle. They will usually display designs that are trendy at the moment, will be trendy very soon, or possibly retro styles that are still in. You will also get an idea of what not to wear. Even supermodels can look bad in some dresses.

A blue and white envelope just arrived in your mailbox. Inside is an invitation to your friend’s house warming party next week. She is going to have wine, cheese, hor dours, and entertainment. It’s going to be a dazzling event and you know you should dress up, but you have no idea what to wear.

- Cut. Make sure the dress flatters your body type. The dress should accentuate a woman’s curves and waist, but never ever be too tight.

Wearing a stylish, colorful evening dress will make you more memorable, and it is much more festive than black.

If you are looking for a prom dress this season, it may seem like prom dress designers have forgotten what so many women look like. It seems like too many department stores offer dresses in a limited range of sizes, with 2 being the most common prom dress size. If you’ve seen, “The Devil Wears Prada,” you are familiar with the ever-shrinking dress sizes.

Fortunately, many top designers offer their dresses in all sizes, ranging from a size 2 to a size 18 to a size 32. So don’t give up! There are many plus size prom dresses available. Before you go shopping in a store or online, it helps to have an idea of what size you are and which dress styles will look best on your body type.

How Do I Measure Myself for a Prom Dress?
To find your size, you need to measure your bust, your waist, and your hips.

- Bust: Measure your bust at the fullest part with your arms down by your side. If you are going to be wearing a fitted bra under your prom dress, put on the bra before measuring. You may be anywhere from 40 inches (a size 12) to 50 inches (a size 22) to 61 inches for the bust measurement.

- Waist: Measure the smallest part of your waist, which is about 2 inches above your belly button. Similarly, this number may range from 35 inches to 45 inches or more if you are above a size 20. If your body carries most of the weight around the middle section, the waist is often the largest measurement.

- Hips: Measure your hips around the fullest part, including your rear end too. This measurement is most likely 6-10 inches more than your waist measurement.

After getting your measurements, look at a size chart online to get an idea of what size you are. Remember, most 2009 prom dresses require some alterations to fit your body perfectly.

Deciding on the Right Plus Size Prom Dress for You:
Once you have your dress size, it’s time to go shopping! It’s a good idea to flip through fashion magazines before-hand to get an idea of what styles are popular and what kind of prom dress you would like. Do you want a full length prom dress or a cocktail dress? Are you a romantic at heart, are you inspired by 1950s styles, or do you prefer something modern? Having an idea of what you want before you go shopping can save you hours in the dressing room.

It’s also suggested you have an idea of what dresses will accent your best features. Understanding your overall body shape will really help you out.

Your Waist was your Largest Measurement:
If your waist was your largest measurement, your body carries most of the weight in the middle section, which is common among women. An A-line or a princess silhouette dress will look great on you. If you have shapely legs, consider a dress that shows them off! You can also draw attention towards your face by wearing dazzling earrings and your hair up.

You have an Athletic Body Type:
If you have a defined waist and larger hips and thighs, you have an athletic body type. Look for dresses that emphasize your bust, like an empire waistline dress or an A-line dress that accentuates your bust. You may also want to look for dresses that have intricate details above the waist. And remember, you can always take a dress in, so make sure the dress isn’t too tight on your hips and thighs.

Your Body Measurements are More or Less the Same:
If your weight is evenly distributed, look for plus size prom dresses that you give you shape. A fitted bodice top, a sash around the waist, and a flowing bottom will most likely look the best on you. Whichever dress you choose, make sure you feel comfortable in it. A sleeveless mermaid prom dress with sexy shoes and a great evening bag may be perfect for you!

Remember, you can find the perfect plus size prom dress. Top designers offer their prom dresses in many sizes. There are also prom dress boutiques that would be happy to help you pick a prom dress that looks fantastic on you.

To order a crochet wedding dress, you have to understand that the wedding dress must be ordered well in advance of the wedding because adequate time must be given for the dress to be finished by the wedding date. The length of time that it takes to make your dress will depend on how many workers will be creating your dress.


Pre-Order Dresses Well In Advance Of Wedding


You may also order dresses that are already made such as an antique crochet wedding dress or through outlets that offer pre-made crochet wedding dresses. It is this handcrafted aspect of this wedding dress that adds much value to it as a family heirloom. Many crochet wedding dresses are passed through the family and are prized possessions.


Accessories


You can accessorize your crochet wedding dress with a crocheted headpiece with a crocheted veil, which should be created from lightweight thread to avoid a veil that is too heavy. Organza or tulles also look nice for veils that have been worked with crochet around the edges. You can accessorize in the style that were originally worn with the antique Irish crochet wedding dress or you can accessorize your dress with whatever suits your personal style and the design of the dress.


If you do not plan to wear a veil, why not wear roses or other flowers in your hair. Instead of natural flowers, you could wear crocheted, crystal or pearl flowers shaped accessories in your hair. Although, crocheted fabrics can be very dainty despite being hand worked, the fabric still has a bit of bulk that must be matched with the accessories you choose to match your wedding dress.


Dress Styles


Your crochet wedding dress can be in any style that you want for a wedding dress provided that if you want to have a full skirt, your under skirting will have to be stiff enough to hold the crochet fabric out. Wedding crochet dresses were at the top of their game when Irish crocheting skills were in demand during the late 1800s. A few specimens of the antique Irish crocheted wedding dresses that were made during that time still exist and can be viewed in some museums.


Your choice of a crochet wedding dress is a choice of great traditions and new styling. The great thing about crocheted dresses is that you can create a dress that can fit you perfectly and can be customized down to the tiniest detail.

Consider the following ideas to locate an inexpensive wedding dress:

Heirloom: Your mother or grandmother may have a dress tucked away in an attic and would absolutely love for you to wear it. Perhaps they don’t mention it because they don’t want to offend you. Ask around and you may find an aunt or someone who knows of an heirloom dress you can make your own for no cost whatsoever. You can even spend a little money and have a seamstress update the dress’s look to suit you by removing the sleeves, for example, or adjusting the length. Auctions: Online auctions such as ebay, and local auctions you find by searching online or in the papers, can be a great source for cheap wedding dresses. Often women will want to recover a little of their investment after their special day, and you can get deep discounts on beautiful dresses. Once it’s been dry cleaned it will be as good as new, and you save lots of money for your other wedding expenses. Second hand or never-used: Local second-hand shops can be a great source. Set aside some time for sleuthing in your local shops, and put the word out to the salespeople about what you’re looking for. Often they will have something come in that you can work with and which will cost you very little. If you are in North America, your local craigslist, kijiji or backpage online classifieds can be a super source for a cheap and perfectly good wedding dress. Sample sales: Keep your eyes and ears peeled – many designers and wedding shops hold sample sales at the end of each season or once a year. These sales are a fantastic opportunity to acquire a new dress at a deep discount. Be prepared to go early and to shop until you drop, and be prepared for many other eager and possibly aggressive brides-to-be! Discontinued, damaged or returned dresses: Ask around at your local bridal shops. Let them know what you are looking for and that you are on a budget. They may have something that has been damaged but can be corrected by a seamstress, or perhaps something that is discontinued or has been returned and already altered (thus considered by them to be no longer saleable at retail). Friends or relatives: Put the word out among your friends and relatives. Maybe your best friend’s cousin’s best friend had her wedding last year and would LOVE to sell you or give you her dress. In this day of email and instant messaging, your request could go far and you may stand a good chance of finding something that will work for you, especially with a little tailoring. Non-traditional: ‘Fancy’ dress stores such as those which carry evening and cocktail dresses often carry dresses that would be suitable for a wedding. Cream, white or pale pastel gowns can be perfect for a wedding if paired with the right accessories, and can often be hundreds or even thousands less than what you would pay for a ‘true’ wedding dress in a bridal shop. Some of these stores and boutiques even carry traditional wedding dress styles that are very affordable.

How to Choose a Dress

There are many things to consider when you are trying to select a dress for your special occasion. Some of the more important considerations for choosing the right dress include the color, dress style, and comfort.

The color of your dress should flatter your skin tone. If you have an olive skin tone, you’ll want to avoid dresses in pink or yellow, while a peach colored skin tone will want to avoid orange and red dresses. Some people say black is flattering on everyone, but people with pale skin tend to look very washed out when they wear black clothing. Grey seems to look nice on all skin tones.

The style of dress is important in your mission to choose your best look, and should be determined by your body shape. Petite ladies are flattered when wearing A-line style dresses, and avoid the old-fashioned bell-shaped ball gowns, as they appear to “swallow” you up. If you have a larger than desired bottom section, you should select a dress with thin straps or no straps; and/or a dress with a draping bustle in order to bring the eyes upward and away from your trouble spot. Ladies who are insecure about their stomachs should consider dress styles with empire waists or corset style tops, while ladies who are insecure about their arms should avoid strapless or sleeveless dresses and select short sleeved or pretty see-through sleeves in lace.

Maybe the most important consideration when selecting a dress to wear, is how comfortable you feel while wearing it. If the dress is too restricting or you just aren’t comfortable when you put it on, you aren’t going to have as nice a time as you would in a dress that makes you comfortable!

Cheap Dress VS. Fancy Dress

Budget is usually a concern when deciding what dress to purchase. It’s very rare that you’ll find a fancy dress with a cheap price tag- unless you happen to hit a great clearance sale with all fancy dresses being placed on the cheap dress racks!

If money is a major concern for you, then you’ll probably want to select the nicest dress you can find from the cheap dress section. Cheap doesn’t mean ugly- you will have less selection in lower priced dresses, however, if you look long enough you will find one that works with your budget as well as for your appearance.

On the other hand, if money isn’t as much of a concern, you may want to go right to the fancy dress section of your favorite store and see what you can find!

Choosing a Dress at the Dress Store

There are many ways to shop for your dress- online, at the dress store or from friend’s closets! If you decide to go the traditional route and choose a dress at the dress store, make sure you are prepared to try on several before making a purchase. You’d be surprised at how different dresses can fit even if they’re all the same size.

How to Choose Shoes that Match Your Dress

The best way to choose shoes that match your dress is to try them on together! You do not have to match the color exactly, but you want to make sure the colors don’t clash. Also, consider the fabric of your dress when selecting shoes to match, and whether or not your dress has embellishments like jewels- if so, you could make a fashion statement by selecting shoes with jewels as well!
