Ten Tips to Make Sure You Look Your Best in 2011

Special occasion dress designers and mother of the bride dress designers all have the same goal – to create dresses that make women look their best.

Knowing that women have different body types and different taste makes this a difficult task.

These ten tips listed below will help women who want to look their best in 2011.

1. Special occasion dresses need to fit a woman’s body. Mother of the bride dresses that are oversized or tight fitting are not a wise choice. It is essential to wear a special occasion dress that is a perfect fit.

2. When it comes to accessories – don’t overdo it. Accessories are best when they compliment the special occasion dress – not overshadow the dress. Mother of the bride dresses worn with a simple sterling silver necklace may not be flashy – but is more likely to make the special occasion dress stand out.

3. Comfort is important. Women should not go out of their comfort zones. It is best to wear a special occasion dress that you feel reflects your style. The most trendy special occasion dress may be stunning, but if the person wearing it doesn’t feel comfortable, the results will be disappointing.

4. Belts – to wear a belt or to not wear a belt? Wearing a belt depends on one thing and one thing only – women with thin waists should wear a belt with their special occasion dress. Women without thin waists should not wear belts as it will make them look even larger.

5. Scarves and shawls are in! A scarf or shawl can add a touch of elegance to a special occasion dress. It is important to keep the accessory simple as not to outshine the special occasion dress.

6. Accessorize your special occasion dress with shoes, bags, watches, belts, jewelry and scarves. A special occasion dress can really pop if accessorized properly.

7. When it comes to special occasion dresses – women should put their necks on the line. Women with short necks should not wear a special occasion dress with a high collared neck. Longer necklines are ideal for women with longer necks.

8. Thin women can wear shorter cut special occasion dresses than those who have wider waists. Women with wide waist lines should opt for longer hemlines when it comes to special occasion dresses.

9. Special occasion dresses shouldn’t be too short or too long. It is important to have your special occasion dress professionally tailored to fit your specific body measurements.

10. When it comes to special occasion dresses, light colored tops and dark colored bottoms are best for women with larger lower bodies. Women with larger upper bodies are wise to choose special occasion dresses that feature tops that are simple and clean with soft, flowing fabrics.

Mother of the Bride Humor

October 11, 2010 By blakean

Mother of the Bride wedding humor is upon us as the Bridal Couture Event of the Year is about to hit New York City. Be sure to visit Blake and Company’s wholesale mother of the bride and special occasion dress showroom.

Here’s the joke:

A beautiful young bride was excited as her wedding day was fast approaching. She was flying high and nothing was going to burst her bubble – especially not her parents’ nasty divorce.

Her mother had discovered the perfect mother of the bride dress to wear for the special occasion. Her mother was going to be the best dressed mother of the bride in the history of mother of the bride dresses!

However, a week before the wedding, the bride found out that her father’s hot new young wife had purchased the same exact dress as her mother.

What would you do? Well, the young bride calmly explained the whole situation and politely asked her father’s new young wife to pick out a different special occasion dress.

The young wife refused to get a different dress and demanded that the mother of the bride change her dress instead.

The bride didn’t know what to do, so she turned to her mother for advice. Her mother told her not to worry about it, that she would just choose another dress.

Her daughter was thrilled and together they went shopping for a new dress and they found one that was gorgeous!

After purchasing the dress, which was kind of expensive, the daughter asked her mother if she needed the receipt to return the original dress. The mother told the daughter that she decided to keep both dresses.

The daughter was surprised and asked the mom what occasion would she be able to wear such a fancy dress to.

The mother just smiled and told her that she had the perfect occasion to wear the original dress to – the rehearsal dinner, the night before the wedding!

It seems that the mother of the bride got the last laugh.
