Blake and Company is here to let women know that if they’ve got curves they should flaunt ’em!

special occasion dress showroom nyRegardless of size, almost all women have areas that they would like to look a bit slimmer.  Special occasion dresses can help women look their best if they follow the following tips.  Women in the market for special occasion dresses should look for slimming vertical lines.  Patterns found in special occasion dresses that engage the eye in an up-and-down motion are sure to help hide bulges.

It is also important for women to remember to highlight their best feature when selecting a special occasion dress.  Women with great legs should wear a loose-fitting jacket to give the illusion of a slimmer middle.  It is important for women who are trying to mask their midsections to wear a special occasion dress that is shapeless.  A shapeless special occasion dress can make a woman appear boxy and wide.  It is a good idea to find a special occasion dress with some shaping in the side seams at the rib cage.  This will help give a slimmer appearance.

A good way to hide a belly is to wear a special occasion dress that has soft, flowing fabrics.  Special occasion dresses with bright colors and bold prints can also help to give a slimmer appearance.

One of the latest trends in special occasion dresses is diagonal stripes.  Diagonal stripes can make special occasion dresses look amazing and give the illusion of slimness.
