Some Flags For Our Party Last Night

Lovely readers, tonight was a fun one. I threw a surprise dinner for The Big A to celebrate his return from a month long trip in Europe. Ten of our closest friends came to our local for beers and dinner. I made some sweet flags (thanks Martha!) for everyone to wave when we came in with little sayings like "Say Holla", "Welcome Home" and "Woot for Aaron" The best part? Seeing The Big A looked happy and feeling like a special guy. Awwww.



Plus size evening dress

Plus Size Evening Gowns

Plus size evening dressAs you enter a store full of fantastic dresses, you might feel disappointed. You may think they would not fit you, as you would be a little more than those dresses would provide. It is extremely difficult to for a woman to believe that her body is less than perfect. But once accepted, she tries to hide it, rather than making the best of what is available.

With the ever-growing trend in over-weight population, plus size clothing have emerged into the market. The clothing designers work hard to create a lot of variety and create specific features to plus size dresses. These kinds of dresses are also designed to provide a not-so-perfect figure look beautiful and shapely. It is just a matter of a play with colors, stripes and the shapes of the dresses that make one look fabulous. Whether in appropriate body or not, a woman has to keep herself with confidence and pride. It would make people think about how beautiful you are, rather than whether you are wearing a pretty clothes or not.

Plus size  evening dressThere are many things to avoid while selecting a plus size evening gown. A dress which has many layers of clothes, drapes, and frills are not for plus size women. The clothing must be the best fit. Loose clothing may make your body style fatter. The tent-like dresses and the stretchy polyester pants are now out of trend. Tight clothing would highlight the bulges and rolls that a woman does not want anyone to see. The tight clothes may reduce the figure, but it would not flatten the bulges.

Plus size evening dressLong gowns are preferred to short ones, as the short dresses gives an impression of being much shorter and, therefore, much wider than long ones. The vertical stripes create a better effect than horizontal stripes. On the whole, single colored clothing is recommended for plus size women. It makes one look taller as the eye travels with the color from head to toe. Clothing that come in bright colors must be avoided as they create an illusion of heaviness.

Then comes, accentuating the positives of the figure for the purpose of hiding the negative features. Look for longer gowns that highlight the shoulder, cleavage and neckline. Strapless tops or noodle straps would be an excellent idea. One can also go in for flowing fabric around the shoulders. Highlighting the smallest area of the waistline also makes one look slimmer. This field is just under the bust, where the stomach starts. A belt or a sash can be used to wrap around and get the waist look thinner.

Plus size evening dressMany shops and websites offer the plus size dresses designed especially for a plus size woman. Make sure you get the one that just fits you perfectly or you are able to alter to the fitting size yourself. One can use the chart that the retailers have to help a woman make the choice. The trial rooms can be used to make sure you get the perfect dress and also how it looks on you.

It is best to venture into the local shops with a friend who would give you a decent opinion about the selection of a dress. Try a few dresses and choose what looks best on you rather than what looks best on the hanger in the showroom.

A Tops First Birthday Party

There are so many inspiring things in the first birthday party of Siri by The Event Studio and photographed by Sarah Bonvallet and Emma Freeman. I'm just going to put it out there and say so many of these ideas transfer to a picnic party or well any type of outdoor party. From the colourful mats, cushions and drapery to the bunting detail hanging from tree to tree. But the funniest thing is the kiddie friendly photo booth, that kid cracks me up. Check out more of the party here or here.

Evening gown dress

Trendy Dresses Are Not Necessarily Your Best Choice For Evening Wear

Evening gown dressA common mistake made by the larger woman is choosing an evening gown that works against them. Women of all shapes and sizes might express their body issues by choosing an outfit that is either a size larger or a size smaller than the one they should have. Be happy with the positives of your body, and remember that incorrect fitting clothes neither hide blemishes, nor accentuate your curves. Clothes that fit properly look best.

Evening gown  dressProper fit is of paramount importance when it comes to finding that perfect dress. You are well advised to not the dress pick you, but for you to pick the dress. An A-line gown will not work for a plus size model, but the plus size gals have lots of choices; dresses designed to minimize the bulk, but amplify the lovely full-figured look. Another consideration is dress material. Some flow better than others, and a flowing dress is ooh-la-la sexy on any size woman. Try it on and check out that mirror. If you're not impressed, no else will be so keep shopping, honey! Success is often just one dress away.

Finding a dress that flatters your figure is essential to you feeling confident in the dress. You will glow in the right dress and feel like a queen but in the wrong dress you will feel out of place and not so good. Dresses with simple cuts such as A-line dresses and sheath dresses are very flattering to plus size women. One of these types of dresses in a dark color such as black or navy blue, is sure to look like a million dollars on you.

Evening gown dressOnce you have determined what your best feature is you will want to find a dress that plays that up to the greatest extent. For example, if it is your long legs you might want to choose an evening dress with a sexy side slit. If you like your shoulder then an off-the-shoulder dress paired with an attractive necklace and earrings might be just the thing for you. On the other hand if you like your neck and your breasts you might want to go with a plunging V-neck dress (or for the modest plus size gal, a V-neck that is not so plunging!).

Trendy dresses are not necessarily your best choice for evening wear. For an upscale social event you should try and choose something that is classy, stylish and unforgettable. There is much beauty to be found in simplicity. You want to showcase your natural beauty and if you choose to wear something that is too fussy or frilly it can take away from your good looks. You will need to accessorize but remember to choose your accessories carefully. You never want to go to extremes with an outfit for a special occasion.
