Regal and Fabulous - Some Etiquette on Evening Dresses

By John Jones


Some of the most common questions I get all seem to fall into one category: "What are the guidelines regarding appropriate evening dresses for corporate events?" Fashion Goddess Rule #47 is: Corporate event gowns shall be neither too risqu nor too cabaret.You have a great bosom and you don't see a problem with showing it off. That's fair. But when you're attending a corporate event, you want positive feedback, not people gawking at your rack.

The floor sweeping long evening dresses are quite in order as you will wear them for social events where there will be less movement and more talk. Of course, these long inexpensive cocktail dresses should be of the right fabric and tailored perfectly to make all your features prominent. The long evening dresses are widely available at all kinds of shops and malls as also online - so it will should be easy for you to pick the one you like.

Shoes need not be expensive so they would look fabulous on your already stunning evening dresses. You can go with pumps, evening sandals, or even ballet slippers. If they go with or complement the color of your evening gown, the better!Surely, being in that stunning evening dress is not enough. You must be able to "carry it;" and the best way to do this is to use some accessories. While it is optional to wear those glittering pair of earrings, necklace, bracelet or ring, it would not do any harm if you do.

If it's a formal occasion where all guests may appear conservative, then covering up your shoulders with a shawl may be appropriate. Otherwise you can go for sexy styles like side split, side cuts, bare shoulders and all other types that expose more skin.Evening dresses are abundantly available in multiple designs such as halter, backless, strapless, Spaghetti straps, V necks etc - but it is the shape of your body that should dictate what gown styles and cuts will flatter your appearance.

Opt for a single shoulder strap for a more sedate look and choose to go strapless if you wish to appear provocative and sexy - the choice is yours. When wearing evening dresses, you must selectively add accessories like hand bags, stilettos, belts, gloves etc to heighten the effect. To highlight your long evening dress, you should wear the right type of shoes. Choose a shoe color that matches the color of your evening gown.
