Extend Your Budget with Clothing Capsules

2008-12-15T17:35:00.002-05:00

by Diana Pemberton-Sikes

Clothing capsules offer a clever way to extend your wardrobe and do a lot with a little. By using the clothes you already have in new and different combinations, you give yourself lots of options without buying anything new. In fact, once you understand how clothing capsules work, you can build your wardrobe around them and give yourself tons of outfits -- and stop wasting money on impulse items that don't go with anything else you own.

The first thing you need to do is remember when planning clothing capsules is that you CAN mix and match your clothes. Often, we get in such a rut that we forget that there's more than one way of doing things. Once you break out of that way of thinking and try different things, you'll be amazed as what you can do.

So what's a clothing capsule?

A clothing capsule is a group of 5-12 pieces (jacket, skirt, slacks, etc.) that work in combination with each other in color, style, or mood. Black pants with a leapored print scarf, for example, or a white skirt with a navy and white top.

If you always wear certain tops with certain bottoms or always wear the same jewelry with a certain dress, realizing that you can wear those tried-and-true combos in different ways becomes very liberating. It also allows you to do a lot more with your wardrobe, enabling you to buy less, save more, and still look great all the time.

While there are no set rules, here are some general guidelines for building wardrobe capsules:

*Solids mix more easily than prints.

*Prints can bridge two completely different solids.

*Simple, untrimmed styles are more versatile and become less dated.

*Each piece should be in your most flattering color palette and fit both your shape and your clothing personality. Don't buy items that don't fit or make you look good.

*Avoid trendy styles. What's 'in' this year will be 'out' next year and you'll be out the cash. Invest in classic styles instead to get more wear out of your clothes.

Now I know from experience that some women are really good at mixing and matching while others need a little more help. Arrange your closet for easy access by keeping all the pants together, all the jackets together, all the skirts together, etc., by color, so that you can see at a glance what you have to work with.

Study catalogs and window displays for ideas. Make note of how a jacket might be worn a little differently or how an accessory might be worn in a new way. It doesn't take a lot.

To re-emphasize: Start building your capsules with what you have. Often, the first inclination is to go run buy something new. It's not necessary. See what you have, see what you need, and add pieces as your budget allows.

In the meantime, experiment with what you have. Write down the combinations if necessary. You'll get the hang of this in no time.

Once you unlock your creativity by looking at your wardrobe every which way, you'll soon find yourself doing the same with other aspects of your life, like your home, your job, problem solving, etc. When you do, you'll be delighted at what your imagination can come up with. In the words of fashion designer Jil Sander, 'Think more, buy less.'

The Plus Size Clothing Nightmare

2008-11-25T02:15:00.002-05:00

by Amy Hutton

I've worn plus size clothing most of my adult life. And let me tell you, clothes shopping has really been an agravating experience to say the least. You go to the mall and visit the one store that carries sizes more than 1X. You browse the racks and find a nice pink blouse you'd really love to buy, and they DO have plus sizes, but YOUR SIZE PINK BLOUSE IS MISSING. ARRGH!

Or, you might find a pretty black bra that you'd love to have, but they are out of the 42DD. Plus size clothing can be Pure Frustration.

At first glance it looks like the big and beautiful store has a lot of items, but when you take into account that each item probably is displayed with 4-6 sizes, there really isn't that much in one store. Even the big chain stores like Target, Walmart and K-Mart really have a limited supply of plus size clothing. And most of it isn't very stylish.

And why do all other stores always put the women's plus size clothing section right next to the Maternity section? I'm offended by that as a large woman, and I'd be offended by that as well if I were a pregnant woman. You have to make sure that you aren't checking out the clothing that belongs in the maternity section.

Speaking of maternity wear, I know from personal experience that finding maternity clothes as a larger woman is murder! I seems that only the skinny girls get pregnant as far as the clothing manufacturers think. You have to find a special store that carries nothing but plus size maternity clothing, and lots of it.

To add to the frustration, they put the Petites section on the other side of the Women's section. Come on...no big woman wants to shop next to all those perky little skinny girls.

It's all so darn frustrating. But there is a solution. Shop online. More items, and more sizes, and total freedom to choose in your own home. An online store doesn't have space restrictions and can display a thousand items with relative ease.

That's easier said than done. Some online plus size women's clothing stores carry a limited line. You have to visit many online shops to find what you want. It's hard to find an online plus size fashion site that offers bigger size shirts, pants, suits, etc., from many designers and retail stores. An online plus size clothing store can pick clothing from many suppliers and designers, and make plus size clothing available at all price ranges. It can offer plus size lingerie, plus size boots, plus size coats and plus size swimwear. And it can stock a limitless selection of products, and sell them all in one place.

Sure, there are one or two large scale (excuse the pun) plus size clothing stores online, if you can find them. Still, online shopping is definitely the way to go for us plus size women!

Clues for Dating Vintage Clothing

2008-10-18T09:08:00.000-04:00

by Karen Richards

With celebrities such as Barbara Streisand, Sarah Jessica Parker, Winona Ryder, Sharon Stone, Drew Barrymore and Michael Richards flaunting their trendy wardrobes vintage fashions have become very popular. Whether you want to establish a collection of clothes from bygone eras or you would just like a few unique pieces to add oomph to your wardrobe, it is interesting to know the history of your piece.

How do you know if the 1930’s silk charmuese nightgown advertised on Ebay is really from the 1930’s era? Now if you absolutely love the colour or style well maybe the age does not matter. If you do not want to pay a premium for something that is not as advertised, it is important to learn a few pointers.

There are numerous ways to date garments. You can shop with confidence when you know what clues to watch for.

For instance - How are the seams finished? Are they pinked, Frenched or serged? Sergers and overlock machines have been around since the 1950’s, but were not in homes until around 1964. Inspecting the seams of custom-made items may not tell you for sure when it was made, but it can let you know for sure when it wasn’t made.

Examination of the seams on store bought, mass produced clothing of the 1950’s, shows that most were pinked. Overcast seams, welted seams or Frenched seams were usually only found on very expensive garments. Overlock seams did start showing up in lingerie during the 1950’s. By the early 1960’s all lingerie had overlocked seams, and the use of the overlock stitch was beginning to appear in other garments made of fabric that would frey easily.

A 1965 catalogue ad mentions that a garment featured overlocked seams, while another ad boasts overlock seams in 1960’s lingerie. The term is not a selling point in fashions of today as most attire has overlocked or serged seams.

Another indication of age is the use of the zipper. Patented in 1893 the first zipper was called a clasp locker. These zippers were not practical. Although a zipper was developed in 1913 with interlocking teeth, it was slow to catch on.

Zippers were first put in children’s clothing in the 1930’s and replaced the button fly in men’s trousers around 1937. There were a few zippers in women's clothing of the 1940's, but most garments still possessed button fasteners, until the 1950’s when they finally became popular.

Catalogues from the mid 1960’s boast about the wonders of nylon zippers. Nylon zippers were thought to be less bulky, easier to hide and more comfortable than the old metal zippers.

Keep in mind that the presence or absence of a zipper and the type of zipper provides clues to the age of the garment but that other factors still need consideration. As zippers can be replaced, metal zippers are not a guarantee that the item was manufactured before 1960. Similarly, a vintage garment may have had a broken zipper replaced by a nylon one.

These are just a couple of points to consider when identifying vintage clothing. Other factors to take into account are fabrics, styles and labels.

Use a bit of logic with what you learn to decide if the item is desirable.

Karen Richards grew up surrounded by collections of all kinds. She inherited her love of anything with a history from her parents who have collected and dealt in antiques for over half a century. Her passion is vintage fashions, textiles and catalogues. She owns The Cats Meow- Classics in Vintage Clothing and Accessories a great place to find that one of a kind quality garment.

A Treasure Chest for People Who Love Funny Clothing

2008-09-21T09:02:00.000-04:00

by Michael D’Elena

I have always been a big fan of funny clothing. I am always on the look out for all types of funny clothing, especially when I am out of town. You see, funny t-shirt are the thing in our city and practically everybody has one. Well this has become a disadvantage, at least in my own point of view. I just hate bumping into someone with an exact same shirt as mine. So I like to buy my funny clothing somewhere outside the city; but only until I happened upon a wonderful website. It’s called recklessts.com. You open the page and you’re greeted with amazing funny tees. It’s practically a treasure chest for me. What is even better about the site is that you don’t only get funny tees, but you get original funny t-shirts. Now I don’t have to worry about embarrassing encounters with people wearing identical shirts.

Now let me stress this—recklessts.com offers not only unique funny tees but hilarious tees at that. By this I mean really funny shirts. Now you’ll have people laughing out loud. You can’t get any cooler than that. And because they’re unique, you are assured that you are not wearing yet another old joke. Most of their humorous T-shirts are not very wholesome. Well, this is the exact reason why I like them. Whenever my Mom gives me “her look,” I simply say,” Mom, we call that wit.”

Don’t get the wrong idea. Recklessts.com is not all about t-shirts. As a matter of fact, they now offer funny hats too. Now I can have a whole new range of collection. And did I mention that they offer custom screen printing in Tempe Arizona?

Not only does the website offer amazing products but it also provides great customer service. Ordering is pretty simple. You simply click on the product you wish to purchase (plus the size of your choice). After which you click on the button that says “ADD TO CART.” Then the site will do the rest. You will be automatically transferred to PayPal’s shopping cart where you only have to enter your shipping information and the payment method of your choice and you’re done with the transaction. If you still find this simple procedure a hassle, you hold the option of calling Recklessts.com via telephone no. (480) 678-4488.

Another wonderful thing about Recklessts.com is its Return Policy. The site guarantees refund for shirts that are returned unworn and unwashed within 30 days of purchase. This is one feature I don’t need though. I have always been satisfied by the shirts I order from the site. I find the site’s privacy policy more important. You see, I am a security buff. I worry about identity thieves who manage to steal from people’s credit card accounts. Credit card security is one area where I lose my sense of humor. It’s all business for me. It’s a good thing Recklessts.com uses PayPal, a secure network that is well worth my trust.

Tips for Teens: Buying Wholesale Designer Jeans to Fit Your Style

2008-08-19T10:56:00.001-04:00

by Chris Robertson

Designer jeans come in many different styles, colors and brands. Every person's body is made differently, so finding jeans with that perfect fit is a unique experience for every shopper. Shopping online for wholesale designer jeans can be tricky as well. Teens especially are concerned with style, fit and brand name. Here are some great tips to help teens find those perfect jeans.

Finding a Good Fit

Every body is shaped differently, so the fit of the jeans is important. Jeans must fit well on the waist, hips, crotch, thighs, and around the legs and ankles. There are several different types of fit: straight leg, boot cut, hipsters, carpenter, cargo, loose fit, low rise, flared and relaxed. Most teens choose jeans for the look, but it's important that the fit is right too. Comfort and the ability to be flexible while wearing the jeans should also be a deciding factor when buying designer jeans.

The great thing about shopping online for wholesale designer jeans is teens get to choose from many different fits to find the perfect pair of jeans. Many sites that offer wholesale designer jeans have a vast selection of styles, fits and brand names at great prices. Brands such as Seven Jeans, Antik Denim, Polo, Bape, Red Monkey, True Religion Jeans, Juicy Couture, Rock & Republic and BBC can usually be found online at wholesale prices. They offer the designer jean selection every teen dreams about!

Choosing Jean Color and Style

Another focus for today's jean fashions is style and color. No longer do jeans only come in one shape and color. They are available in many unique designs to fit every personality and preference. The colors and fabrics are washed in certain ways at the factory to give them a distinctive look and feel. Here are some of the jean styles and colors available today:

*Crosshatch: Denim weave has a cross-stitch type pattern.
*Vintage: An old, worn look.
*Polished: Denim without blasts or tints, in its pure form.
*Frayed: Has tattered edges along the leg bottoms, pockets, waistline, etc.
*Whiskered: Blasts that make 'cat whiskers' appear around the front fly area.
*Distressed: Have released hems and look beat up.
*Ring-spun: Brings out a vertical pattern in the denim.
*Tinted: Blasts of color such as rose or khaki.

Online Shopping Tips

Having such a great selection of jeans online makes it easier to find both the right fit and style. Check with an online mall that sells wholesale designer jeans and do a search according to the brand you're looking for. Then browse through the selection of jeans to find the right size and style. If the measurements aren't available, do an online search for the measurements of that particular brand and size. You might be able to find measurements for almost any type of jeans online. Knowing the measurements, you can buy with confidence that the jeans will fit.

Also, be sure the company you are buying from offers a return or exchange policy in case the fit isn't right when you receive the jeans.

Knowing which brand names suit you will also make it easier to shop online. Designer jeans by companies like Polo, Antik Denim, Red Monkey, Bape, BBC, Rock & Republic, Juicy Couture, Lacoste, Seven Jeans, True Religion Jeans and others will usually be consistent in the way they fit if you stay with one particular brand. Finding wholesale designer jeans online not only saves money and time, but also opens the door to a broad selection of stylish jeans.

Clothing for Change

2008-07-27T16:56:00.002-04:00

by Audra Hensel

Imagine browsing the stores looking for fun new fashions, checking the fit, feeling the softness, checking the tag to find “Made with 100% cotton, grown with 1/3 pound of pesticides, colored with reactive dyes fixed with heavy metals and produced by children in unsanitary, low-wage sweatshop conditions.” Labeling standards don’t yet require that information, and nobody is offering it up voluntarily, but the reality is that the latest trendy top you are looking at just might fit the bill.

For health and social reasons, many consumers today have made the switch to cotton from petroleum-based synthetic fibers such as polyester, but the fabric of our lives is not necessarily a choice without consequences. Globally, 25% of insecticide use is attributable to cotton production. In addition, conventional growing of cotton makes heavy use of pesticides and fertilizers. These insecticides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers then seep into our soil and waterways. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has deemed seven of the top 15 pesticides used on U.S. cotton crops to be potential or known human carcinogens.

Much of the apparel in the US is made in sweatshops where workers labor in unsafe, unsanitary conditions, are paid wages so low they must struggle to provide for their families, and children are exploited.

Fortunately, there are alternatives. Today’s fashion market has a wealth of environmentally and socially responsible options, such as organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, soy, and organic wool.

Certified organic cotton is grown with consideration for the natural biodiversity, without the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers. The advantages go beyond the health and environmental benefits though. Organic cotton fibers tend to be longer-staple, producing stronger softer yarns, and, thus longer-lasting softer garments.

Let's not stop with organic cotton. Hemp is another natural fiber beginning to blossom in the eco-fashion industry. Hemp is most often grown without herbicides, fungicides or pesticides. With fibers longer, stronger and more absorbent than cotton, hemp produces strong yarns and garments that last. Naturally resistant to bacteria and UV light, hemp is a great choice for socks, shoes, and apparel.

And how will it look in your closet? The days of loose hemp anti-styles are no longer. Today’s hemp wear has its place in cutting edge design, knits that hug the body, linen-quality dresses that flatter the figure, and sturdy canvas shoes.

So don't be discouraged that 100% cotton isn't such a 100% natural choice. Today we have many options in eco-friendly and socially responsible apparel without compromising fashion. Fashion is about finding your own style. Shouldn’t your style be in line with your values?

The 3 Most Commonly Used Fabrics In Designer Clothing

2008-07-19T16:24:00.003-04:00

by Angela Ayles

Designer apparel has become extremely popular over the past decade or so. It was always popular but recently we have seen an overwhelming rise in popularity from this industry. To get the best of the best in designer clothing, choose pieces that incorporate these 3 fabrics into your choices:

Silk

Silk has always been associated with luxury and wealth. There’s something about silk that makes you feel important and when you wear an authentic silk piece, your confidence level goes up a couple of levels immediately. There’s just something about the way the silk hugs your body that flatters every curve, regardless of your shape.

Silk is used for a variety of fashion related pieces. It can be used for skirts, dresses, blouses, scarves, pajamas and lingerie. There are a number of manufacturers who have taken full advantage of the benefits of silk. Some of the designers who have been recognized for creating unbelievable silk designs include Prada, Chanel and Roberto Cavalli. These world renowned designers offer only the best of the best when it comes to their designer clothing and their customers are always happy with their purchases.

Purchasing authentic silk items will benefit you in a number of ways. Not only will it look better because the quality is higher than other materials (or materials that are only 50% silk and 50% other materials) but it will also last longer. A true piece of silk is likely to last twice as long as the “knock-off’ materials. In addition, silk is said to be one of the most comfortable clothing fabrics on the market right now. The sleek, luxurious feel of silk on your body will outweigh the cost in a second. Now you can justify paying twice as much.

Satin

Satin, although usually classified in the same category as silk has a few very distinctive features. Silk is made from insect larvae and is made of small, fine threads. Satin is shinier than silk and usually incorporates some kind of silk fabric into it but has a dull back. Silk is shiny on both sides so you feel the silk against your skin. Satin is perfect for those who don’t like the glossy finish against their body and prefer something a little softer. Generally, satin is slightly shinier, but for the most part, the two are hard to tell apart just from looking.

Like silk and cashmere, there are many designers who have decided to incorporate satin into their magnificent designs. Some of the most luxurious satin gowns have come from prestigious designers like Versace and Valentino. Unlike silk and cashmere, satin has become a very popular material in shoe design. World renowned footwear designers like Nine West have decided to use silk.

Cashmere

Cashmere is known for its long lasting comfort and unbelievably soft appearance. It’s one of those materials that when you see someone wearing it, you just want to touch them because the material looks and feels so incredibly soft. Cashmere is one of the most popular materials in designer clothing because it provides so many benefits. Like silk and satin, cashmere is also long-lasting, comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

There are many designers who have taken full advantage of the popularity of cashmere. Some of the prestigious designers creating cashmere pieces include Kenneth Cole, Michael Kors and Christian Dior. These luxurious designers are definitely the ones to look for if you’re shopping for high quality, stylish designer clothing.

The world of fashion can be a little undermining. Designers have clued into which materials are popular among consumers but realize that they can’t sell their items for low cost if they’re made from this authentic material. So here’s a secret to help you out: Some designers advertise their items as cashmere when in fact they are only partially made of the material. This way, you think you’re getting a deal because you can’t believe you just bought a cashmere sweater for $29.99. Well let me tell you something – nothing good comes for free. Look at the tags on these items and I guarantee you the product isn’t 100 percent cashmere.

Coordinate Men's Clothing: Colors and Pattern Matching

2008-03-12T14:15:00.001-04:00

by Leroy Fong

It is common for most men to face dilemma in mens fashion coordination. Our typical questions are:

How to match colors for mens dress shirts and mens dress pants?
How to coordinate checks with stripes?
What are the colors suitable between my suits and ties?
Are the colors and patterns matching my suits and ties?

These questions kept popping up because men generally has a poorer power of visualization than women. Men can not imagine the way things look like based on the colors and patterns through imagination. So there is a strong reliance for pictures to provide guidance for men's dressing.

Therefore, I will attempt to address these concerns and provide the fundamental information necessary to achieve the best coordination. When we look at color coordination, there are two aspects to focus on: Coordinating mens clothing against our complexion and creating color harmony between different hues and shades.

For dealing with colors involving our complexion, we would not want to wear colors that brings out the negative aspect of our complexion. For example, if you are very fair with light colored hair, then you should not be wearing pale colored shirts like yellow or white that will wash out your facial complexion further. Instead choose earthy colors to warm up the face with vibrancy.

Color combination between clothing would require the understanding of hues and tones. It is the similarity and contrasting criteria of hues and tones that brings the harmony when combining these colors. We must learn how to use the vivid colors against the dull and light colors to accentuate different parts of your men's clothing. It catches attention and yet not steal the focus away from your face.

For mixing pattern, there is coordination between pattern of same design and patterns of different designs. The ultimate challenge is mixing three or four patterns together but not looking ridiculous at all. The fundamental art of working with patterns is the understanding of scales and sizes of patterns so that you can merge them together without creating tension or strong clashing vibration.

Overall, the aim of coordination for colors and patterns is to achieve naturalness as well as bringing out the best blend that brightens up the man’s overall look.

In order to learn the art of achieving the best coordination, we would have to play around with our clothing to realize the concept. Thereafter, mixing and matching colors and patterns would just come as a natural flow in you. It is through the consistent trial and error that we build up our knowledge of what goes with what and how we can best coordinate them.

A Look At Large Clothing

2007-12-10T09:11:00.001-05:00

by Morgan Hamilton

Many mothers-to-be choose to buy large clothing than maternity wear because the latter is much more expensive. It is quite irritating that once a piece of clothing gets the 'maternity' label, it immediately becomes over-priced. Frugal women have found a clever way out of the situation - they purchase regular clothes in larger sizes.

When pregnant, searching for the right clothing is sometimes tricky. Although there are many large-sized clothes only few actually look good. Consequently, finding proper large clothing is a bit of a challenge. Here are some tips what you could look for when you are searching for clothes while expecting a baby.

First of all, even if you don't feel like spending money on maternity wear, you'll still have to buy at least some pants designed for mothers-to-be. There is no getting around it. You can find many nice and comfortable maternity pants; maternity jeans are also available if you would like to invest some more money in clothing. Whatever you choose, just keep in mind that when it comes to pants large clothing will simply not do.

As far as buying underwear is concerned, you don't have to worry about it. You can just purchase large clothing that suits you best. Finding larger sized panties and bras will be an easy task.

If you are a nursing mother you might want to have nursing bras. My advice is not to bother buying them. Find nice bras in large clothing stores instead. When trying on some pay attention if they provide enough support and if they are easy to unfasten. I personally didn't like the difficult clasps of the regular nursing bras, so I purchased some larger-sized bras.

Many mothers-to-be insist on having maternity shirts but you can save some money and buy big shirts instead. I had a favorite shirt which I wore during most of my pregnancy; it was not a maternity shirt, I took it with discount from a large clothing store. My husband's large clothes were quite helpful, too. As I had a winter pregnancy, I needed large pullovers and big button down shirts which I was lucky to find in our closet. My husband didn't mind giving them to me, so I had plenty of comfortable outfits to wear at home.

When you are expecting a baby, you should invest some money in purchasing a few pairs of good maternity pants. As far as all other types of clothing are concerned, you can buy them all from a large clothing store. You can also buy a large hospitable robe or any kind of sleepwear, but don't bother looking for maternity night gowns as they are not comfortable at all.

Jeans That Fit: How To Find Them

2007-10-18T02:58:00.000-04:00

by Sheila Dicks

We all own jeans and they truly are the main ingredient of any casual wardrobe. However, they are not all equal or equally flattering. We are not all born with the same shape, so, the style we wear will impact the way we look. Have you ever seen an outfit on one of your friends that looked spectacular but when someone else wore that same outfit it lost its pizzazz? That has to do with the body shapes of the two people and sometimes the color of the garment. Both women could be the same height and weight but have a totally different shape. The same holds true for jeans. Here are a few hints when trying to find jeans that will fit and look great on YOU.

Small flat behind:

If you have a small flat behind and your jeans tend to make you look smaller, choose a design with detailed pockets that are high and slightly smaller than those found on most styles. Pockets will drawn attention to the eye and will create the illusion of width and lift.

To add curves:

Wear low-rise jeans in a cotton-Lycra blend. The clingy fabric hugs the body and a contoured waistband will help create curves. Choose a pair that has been lightened at the thighs and knees to make legs look more shapely. Avoid standard boot cut jeans that have little shape.

To flatten a tummy:

Try a medium to high-rise (no higher than the belly button) in a dark color.

For the appearance of smaller thighs:

Stick to dark colors for sure and wear flared styles that will draw the eye downward and create balance. Don’t wear them too tight or too loose.

For the appearance if slim hips:

Do look for jeans without front pockets or jeans with slit pockets and stay away from front patch pockets. Buy dark colors with stitching that is the same color (or very close) as the fabric. Avoid light stitching and designs.

To prevent a gap at the waist:

If your hips are much larger than your waist then you will probably have this problem. What to do? Wear stretch denim jeans and stay away from crisp or heavy fabrics such as cotton.

To make your legs appear longer:

Wear a high-heeled shoe and flared jeans that will completely cover them.

Clothing For The Avid Bodybuilder

2007-09-27T10:54:00.000-04:00

by Casey OMedley

Comfortable body building apparel is very important. Cotton is the best material for items of body building apparel because there is a lot of sweating associated with body building and moisture created from sweating requires a good material to absorb it. The right body building apparel should make you feel great even during the most strenuous exercises.

T-shirts, tank tops, fleece shirts, workout pants and various other articles are important to the body builder. By far, the favorite item of body building apparel is the tank top. Many sportswear manufacturers have declared it the top selling piece of clothing. It comes in a variety of colors and at very low prices, not more than a few bucks, is affordable to all.

The tank top is most athletes' first choice for their favorite piece of apparel since it gives a nice view of the buffed up muscles and it makes one aware of the progress they have made in the gym. Tank tops really make one feel great particularly if the results of intensive workouts are obvious. One thing to remember, you shouldn't get too tight a top tank as it will keep your skin wet all the time when you get sweaty.

Pants and shorts are equally important body building apparel. You not only have to be stylish but first and foremost you should be comfortable when working out. Baggy pants are in high demand because a relaxed fit is what most athletes look for. There is also the choice of large and narrow ankle cuffs for increased ease of movement and the choice of colors and sizes is incredible.

Last but not least, we should also mention the special weight lift shoes that meet the requirements and rigors of extreme sports,since strength sports usually need special footwear that assures adherence and extra protection. Check out the internet for large choices and prices for body building apparel. You won't regret it.

What It Takes To Be A Fashion Designer

2007-09-13T15:34:00.000-04:00

by James Mitchell

Let's get one thing straight - to be a fashion designer you'll need to possess a formidable range of skills and personal qualities. Be honest with yourself, evaluate the extent to which you possess these skills and qualities otherwise you'll eventually run into obstacles in your attempts to be a fashion designer.

First and foremost you need talent. This encompasses a wide range of skills including drawing, sewing, research, vision and creativity. Without a high level of natural talent you can never be a fashion designer.

The fashion industry is tough and competitive - you need to be prepared to use your abilities to give yourself an edge over your rivals. This only comes through having the confidence to truly believe in what you're doing and the assertiveness to deliver.

Without a high level of ambition and the necessary commitment to achieve that ambition you may struggle. You have to be prepared to work hard yet remain open to learning. Displaying high levels of flexibility and using criticism from others in a positive way will allow you to adapt in what is an ever-changing environment.

Effective communication skills are a must. If you can't explain, listen, negotiate or delegate you'll struggle. Likewise organisational skills - if you can't plan and co-ordinate you simply won't finish jobs on time. Part of this comes from being able to make quick decisions and accepting responsibility for those decisions.

If you want to be a fashion designer then you need to accept the fact that you'll also be running a business. That means being able to spot opportunities as well as carrying out the more mundane tasks that are part and parcel of running a business. You'll need to be able to show leadership and be prepared to take a few risks if you want to achieve real success.

On a more artistic level you'll need to be imaginative and creative to generate new ideas. Without a genuine ability to visualize, draw and paint in two dimensions you won't be able to deliver innovation which is the energizing force of fashion design. The same can be said for color sense and the many practical skills that go into making a fashion designer.

To be a fashion designer means being prepared to work as part of a team. You'll need to enjoy group activities and recognize you're only part of a bigger picture that draws from the input of many players. This calls for a friendly, calm temperament, patience, humour and at times a little bit of humility.

The one personal quality that pulls all of this together is having a real passion for fashion - without this the other skills and personal qualities become undermined and you'll find it difficult to be a fashion designer.

If you feel you possess these qualities then don't give up until you cover all the steps you need to take to become a fashion designer.

Show Your Designer Jeans Savvy

2007-08-29T14:29:00.000-04:00

by Bridget Allen

Oh no! You’re having a jeans crisis and can’t decide on which perfect pair to buy! Don’t despair! Help is on the way.

No matter if you are plus size, petite, tall or average, it’s difficult to find the perfect pair of jeans, so we could also use a few tips.

It’s not always easy finding the right pair of jeans. There are just too many styles to choose from. By keeping some of these tips in mind you can find that perfect pair of jeans.

Some useful hints include:

· Before deciding on which pair of jeans to wear, it’s imperative to choose the type of shoes you’ll be sporting. This is because the heel normally will determine how the jean will fall or lay to the ground.

· Also remember that most jeans are not pre-shrunk when you purchase them. So make sure you allow for a bit of shrinkage.

· Low-rise jeans sit low on the waist and provide the perfect opportunity to show off those abs!

· Boot-cut jeans are loose through the leg and wide at the leg opening.

· Flare leg jeans are fun and funky which feature a wide, flared opening at the leg.

· Stonewashed jeans are light and have a more broken-in appearance.

· Distressed jeans have holes, shredding or crinkles to give it that highly worn appearance.

· Dark jeans are the ideal jeans for a night out.

· Not all jeans fit all body types. So keep in mind your body type and jean style when selecting jeans.

· Full-figured body types should choose traditional five-pocket style jeans that aren’t too snug. A bootcut jean will help to balance your figure and make your legs appear longer. And always select jeans in a darker shade.

· Slimmer body types look great in jeans with a slight flare at the leg opening. Low-rise and pocket jeans are also good choices.

· Athletic types have narrow hips and athletic legs. Bootcut jeans are flattering as well as low-rise jeans.

· Some of the newest hottest trends in the stores today are True Religion and 7 for all Mankind.

· Today’s jeans are not for just wearing around the house. Designer jeans are versatile and trendy and easily transition from daytime to evening.

Why Colour Is So Important in Fashion

2007-08-03T01:13:00.000-04:00

by Susan Lockhart

Colour is the first thing other people notice about us, and its impact is immediate and long-lasting. Our fashion colour choices say a lot about the image we are trying to portray and how we feel about ourselves. So what does colour tell people?

Within seconds of meeting you, others will respond to the 'colour messages' flashed by your clothes. Different colours can make people feel a certain way. In fact, it has been determined by medical science that colour can influence the viewer's hormones, blood pressure and body temperature. Colour also has an impact on:

* Your apparent shape;
* Your apparent weight;
* Your apparent personality;
* Your emotions
* Others emotions

Other important considerations are how appropriate the colour is for the location, occasion, time of year, your age and of course, your natural colouring.

We are all influenced by colour every day, whether we realise it or not. If we're having a bad day and not feeling good about ourselves, we tend to automatically choose clothes in dull neutral colours like black, grey or brown because they match how we're feeling. Just as when we're happy and feeling great we will go for something a bit brighter.

Have a look in your wardrobe and see how many different colours you own. Do you have a veritable rainbow of outfits? Or are there just 1 or 2 colours that you wear a variation of all the time? You may find you are stuck in a colour rut. Knowing this, why not experiment with the colours you wear and surround yourself with.

Sometimes it is not just the colour itself, but a combination of colours that create the affect. Colours produce different reactions when used in different fabrics and when put together in different colour combinations. For example, a red jacket worn with a white shirt to a business meeting exhibits confidence and power, but a red jacket worn with a lacy red top may be interpreted as saying, 'I'm sexy and exciting and I have other things on my mind besides this business meeting'.

Red is actually not the best colour to wear to a job interview as it can set the scene for an uneasy interaction between females. So what colours are appropriate for what situation?

Here is a list of the colours that men respond well to, both socially and professionally.

* Yellow: Holds their attention and keeps them alert; indicates the start of something new

* Yellow-based reds: Energetic colour that keeps conversations going

* True reds: Exhibits confidence

* Burgundy: Reflects class and sophistication and attracts the same type of men

* Mid-range blues: Puts others at ease and allows interactions to go smoothly

* Sky blue: A calming colour

* Navy blue: Signals that you want to be taken seriously; it inspires others to listen to what you have to say and displays that you are trustworthy

* Blue-based reds: Suggests intelligence and femininity

* Red violet: Suggests strength and creativity

It is most important though, to choose colours that are a good fit for your natural colouring. There is no point choosing a colour that suggests creativity and confidence if it also makes you look washed out or sick.

Wearing your best range of colours can have a huge impact on your wardrobe and your confidence. The right colours can make your skin tone appear more even, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles and make you look brighter and healthier. While on the other hand wearing a colour which isn't so good for you, can make you look tired, dull and even ill. A colour analysis with a professional image consultant will show you exactly which range of colours are best for your clothing, makeup and accessories.

In short, our fashion colour choices tell the world a lot about us. Knowing how to use colour to your advantage can change the way you dress and boost your self-confidence.

The Return Of London Fashion Week

2007-07-26T11:06:00.000-04:00

by Tania Machowska

Provisional dates for London's fashion week are 16-23 September 2007. Fashion weeks tend to be held several months before the season, which gives press and buyers a chance to preview designs in advance. The last London Fashion Week was a huge success, bringing more than £100 million worth of business to London. Expectation is high for the next event, which many hope will be just as successful.

What We Can Expect

It's the first fashion week since top stylist Isabella Blow died in May. As Blow kick-started the careers of both Philip Treacy and Alexander McQueen, we're expecting to see many tributes. Models such as Lily Cole, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Agyness Deyne are being lined up to sashay down the catwalk in the latest designs.

The last London Fashion Week in February 2007 was a huge success with £40 million worth of orders and a huge £24 million of media coverage. Following London Fashion Week will be London Fashion Weekend, which takes place at the Natural History Museum and offers visitors the opportunity to purchase designer clothes at sales prices.

Next Season Predictions

We're eagerly anticipating next season's trends. Will next summer prove to be the season for you to dust off your capri pants? Who knows!

The Designers

Luella Bartley will show her Spring/Summer 2008 collection at fashion week, which also coincides with the launch of her new flagship store in Mayfair. It’s unclear whether Vivienne Westwood is showing this year but if she does, we never fail to be impressed by the grand dame of fashion.

It was Marc Jacobs in February but who will be the talk of Fashion Week in September? Fashion week favourite Hussein Chalayan should be returning with a collection that promises a blend of simplicity and volume. There are also rumours that John Galliano is returning to London with another one of his spectacularly outlandish collections. Inspired by the French Revolution, one of his last shows featured a realistic-looking guillotine and so we’re can’t wait to see what he’ll do this time. Hot young designer Henry Holland is also one to look out for. His cheeky House of Holland label is guaranteed to raise a smile with bitchy slogan t-shirts and androgynous styling. Needless to say, we're expecting Julien McDonald to dazzle us with a glamourous Givenchy show.

The Fashion Industry and Model’s Health

Since the death of catwalk models Luisel Ramos and Ana Carolina Reston, fashion bosses have been under increasing pressure to ban size zero models. However, it's unclear whether they plan to do this at fashion week. However, the organisers of Madrid Fashion Week 2006 banned models with a Body Mass Index below 18 and pressure is mounting on London Fashion Week bosses to do the same.

The Independent Model Health Inquiry has also found it 'profoundly inappropriate' that young girls should be portrayed as adult women on the catwalk and have called for them to be banned from fashion week. However, it is unclear whether they will be. Lily Cole, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell all modelled before their sixteenth birthday but should they have been allowed to?

Discover More about Fashion Week

If you’re eager for more news and gossip, stay tuned. We'll be at the shows in September, bringing you the hottest looks straight from the catwalk.

Tania Machowska is a former model with experience of catwalk and catalogue modelling. For the past four years she's been contributing to websites such as http://www.chemodels.com, Brussels Model Agency.

Shopping Choices for Jeans

2007-06-20T00:36:00.000-04:00

by Jane Simpson

Jeans are often considered as classics. Almost everyone, from toddlers to the elderly own at least a pair of jeans. Men used jeans as their classic uniform for years, while women often take the classic and put twists to update its look. Seven jeans used to be the staple in every woman's wardrobe. This is with good reason because the brand is one of the top jean-makers who offer great variety in terms of style and color. One could almost be certain to find the right pair in a Seven store.

Aside from the Seven jeans brand, another seemingly endless jean trend surfaced which is a far cry from the tight look of the 80's and 90's. The loose and baggy work pants style jeans which not only hide women's shape, but also cause unflattering silhouettes. These came with the new hiphop culture and was seen from rappers, to groupies, teenagers, and Hollywood stars. Fortunately, these trend in women's wear wore off soon enough and the only people left wearing them were male rappers.

Nowadays, women's jeans have more variety other than the super tight and high waisted jeans of the 80's. Gone are the days when women often wore too long blouses and shirts to cover up the bulges caused by the unrelenting denim fabric. Baggy jeans are also considered as fashion flubs. Jeans today are all about choices and more choices. This variety of choices makes jeans shopping quite a task. From rise, cut, wash, and texture, it has become a challenge to find the single perfect pair. But still, the old adage stands true. Buy jeans that fit your body well while accentuating your assets and skimming over your flaws. In short, use your body type as a guide in buying jeans.

Fashion insiders claim that the new trend in jeans today is the tight jeans. But this kind of tight jeans are not the 80's type. They are called tight but actually are just form-fitting. These are the most flattering jean style in market today because they follow the body's contours and are generally flattering to all shapes. Plus, these usually have Lycra in the fabric which in turn give them a bit of stretch and allow them to be more forgiving to bulges. Bootleg and straight cut tight jeans are usually preferred because they are the most flattering cuts. Dark colors also add up the slimming effect of these jeans. Stylists generally agree that pockets are important in either minimizing or enlarging backsides. Small pockets make behinds look larger, so these are perfect for women with bigger upper bodies for a balanced appearance. Big pockets serve to give the illusion of a smaller derriere. Fashion experts also insist that contrary to popular belief, low waist jeans are not only for people with perfect midsections. These jeans are generally flattering to all shapes of women.

Whether you're thinking of buying low waist jeans, seven jeans, women's jeans, tight jeans, or stretch jeans, buy jeans that make you feel comfortable and confident. After all it is the attitude and confidence that really makes or break a person's look. As a last reminder, a perfect pair of jeans can do wonders for your confidence.

Wrangler Jeans Are Not Just For Cowboys Anymore

2007-06-08T00:47:00.000-04:00

by Johann Erickson

Rodeo Ben started the trend for Wrangler jeans when he designed and tailored the 13MWZ. This durable and quality jean was tested by rodeo stars Jim Shoulders, Bill Linderman, and Freckles Brown while they starred in rodeo shows around the country. In 1949, the Wrangler jean became very popular after the Rodeo Championship and grew into the number 1 jean for western wear. As a matter of fact even later in 1974, Wrangler Jeans became 'Official Jeans of the Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association'.

Because of their rugged style and durability Wrangler Jeans have always been associated with cowboy and ranchers. But, they are not just for cowboys. They are truly the known as western wear throughout the world, but they are becoming more popular for many outdoor activities. Wranglers are a bit heavier in fabric than most jeans you will find on the market today, which is why they are so rugged. These Wrangler jeans can be worn for mountain climbing, scuba diving, horse back riding or just puttering around in your backyard. Because of the thickness of Wrangler jeans you are more protected from the elements such as cold temperatures, jagged rocks and even glass that you can encounter when exploring a sunken ship.

Many people love the shrink in water method that gives Wrangler jeans a personal fit. Since, these jeans are perfect for wearing even scuba diving you can jump in river and let them dry to achieve that personal fit. If you are not that adventurous and don’t wish to wear wet jeans you can easily throw them in the clothes dryer and take them out when they are still damp. As you wear them, they will conform to your body’s size and shape making your Wranglers personal.

When you look through the Wrangler western wear you will find that there are styles for men, women, and children, and not just jeans. Wrangler has a complete line of western wear for the entire family. When you look in the men’s department you will find just in the jeans line an array of styles including the cowboy cut (which is the original Wrangler jean), the regular jeans which include the boot jean, the stretch jean, and the cowboy cut stretch jean. Wrangler also has a line of relaxed jeans for men that include styles including the relaxed jean, Classic Jean, 'Wild Fit' Jean and the 'Benny' Jean. Their slim jeans also come in different styles that you will appreciate including the boot jean, stretch jean, the slim fit, and the silver edition. If you need a bit fancier jean you can always look at Wranglers dress pants, they come in either flat front or pleated to fit your style. Their new lines that are very popular in the men’s category are the Professional Bull Riders clothing. In the PBR line you will find not only Wrangler jeans but also knit and woven shirts to complete your outfit. The George Strait line also has complete outfits that will have you dressed in the perfect western wear in no time.

If you mosey on over to the women’s department you will discover there are many styles of Wrangler jeans and clothing to fit any life style from casual to rugged. In the Wrangler for women line you will find that you can still have the same great looking Wranglers as the men, you can choose from the original fit, classic fit, slim fit, and many more. Not only will you find Wrangler jeans but some other wonderful items to enhance your ensemble including shirts,

When it comes to kids, Wrangler jeans are made tough. We all know just how hard kids are on jeans and we want them to last. Wrangler knows this and creates durable and stylish jeans for our children as well.

So, if you are looking for the perfect jean for everyone in your family you should look at the quality and durable Wrangler jean.

Men’s Custom Jeans

2007-05-24T21:14:00.000-04:00

by David Stone

The staple of everyone's wardrobe. There is a statistic that states that at any given time most people have at least eight pairs of jeans in their closet. Living and working in Los Angeles offers the option of going to work in jeans. I know that I am one of the people listed in that statistic. I have several different brands of jeans but here are the ones that I have found to be most useful. When choosing a pair of jeans you should be able to find a few pairs of everyday jeans that go with pretty much anything and can be used for most occasions. Also you are going to want a few pairs that are slightly more dressy for the nicer occasions and for more upscale bars and clubs.

For your everyday pairs I would recommend Abercrombie & Fitch. They tend to carry stylish jeans and have several choices in cut for your particular build and personal style. They have many different colors and washes in each cut of jean and can generally outfit anyone's taste. Their jeans are reasonably priced and can be matched with most clothes and shoes.

As far as dressy jeans go there are many choices. I am always wary of buying jeans that come from companies who don't specialize in jeans. Some of the choices that I would recommend are Diesel, Seven and Ben Sherman. These jeans tend to be more expensive and will probably run in the neighborhood of $200 a pair. Since these are nicer brands they are worth the money but make sure to try on several different designers before you make you choice. Once you have a pair of jeans that you like make sure that they will work with your wardrobe before buying them. If you are going to spend a lot on one pair of jeans you want to make sure they work with a lot of your wardrobe and will be worn often.

The Hip And The Rebel Wear Jeans

2007-05-16T11:13:00.000-04:00

by Axel Vaqueros

A wonderful invention in the clothing market that changed the whole concept of how we dress was the humble denim jean. The concept has changed a lot since its inception. It all started with the need of the goldminers for a cloth that would not tear easily when they were panning for gold. Denim was the material used for jeans because it met with their needs perfectly. The credit of starting the wholesale selling of jeans goes to Leob Strauss. Later on he changed his name to Levi. However, the concept of jeans gained popularity because of the movies of 1930s featuring cowboys wearing denim Jeans.

Levi Strauss started to suffer competition from rival companies who wanted a piece of the jeans market in the 1940’s. When these companies realized the jeans market was going to be a very successful one, they moved in with their own products. James Dean gave jeans a new concept by wearing them in movies about teenage rebels in the 1950’s. Because of this association with rebellion, some schools in the United States would not allow students to wear jeans to school. They felt by doing so they were promoting rebellion. This of course ensured the sale of many more pairs of jeans as that is exactly what teenagers wanted!

The world of psychedelic jeans and painted or embroidered jeans evolved during the 60’s and 70’s. The fashion of this period changed the jean styles tremendously by adding a colorful new look. Sales, along with prices, started to soar in the 1980’s when fashion designers began marketing their own style of jeans bearing their own brand label. The jeans that in past years that had been famous for their ruggedness were now synonymous with designer names and high fashion.

The 1990s saw a drop in the popularity level of jeans as the youngsters found carpenter pants and khakis much more fashionable. They opted for something different from what their parents had been wearing. The companies making carpenter pants and khakis flourished in this period. But the makers of jeans did not sit idle; they came up with innovations that looked characteristically different. This appealed to the younger generation and they did go in for some new styles of jeans.

And now in the middle of the 1st decade of the 21st century, jeans are truly back in fashion. As we all know, in the world we live in today, there are millions of different markets selling all types and styles of jeans in a variety of price ranges. Whether you are looking for the designer jeans as a fashion statement or just a pair of jeans that are comfortable and strong enough to work in, there is someone out there making jeans just for you.

Sexy Jeans For Oversized Women

More oversized women experience the difficulty of fitting their way into the glamorous world of fashion and beauty. The reason? Most superficial societies highly favor slimmer figures and slender curves when it comes to details of a perfect female body. Of course, one size doesn't fit all and although it is ideal, size zero is not synonymous to being sexy. Yes, regular exercise and rigid diet help women to look thinner and sexier. Yet, while training and exercise can be conducive to good health, not everybody has the discipline it takes. In that case, women can use proper clothing to conceal their bulges and other imperfections. The latest trend is to wear sexy womens jeans. The good news is, even oversized women can now have the confidence and comfort in jeans and apparels that complement and suit their form and shape.

Since there are many selections offered nowadays, the only concern is picking the right bottoms. There are some womens jeans today that are too skimpy and further show the problem areas of oversized women. If you are an avid fan of Oprah, you may have picked up already on the tips given by guests and clothing gurus, Trinny and Susannah: skimpy jeans don't look good on any woman. Though magazine spreads, TV commercials, and billboards nowadays feature women in the latest slim jeans, the experts claim that no woman can carry those pants. However, loose-fitting, tapered, or so-called baggy pants won't do good to the figure of an oversized woman, either. According to the duo, many American women make the mistake of being stuck in the 80s and wearing tapered pants. But, more often than not, badly fit pants make you look bigger than you intend to be.

The safer way toward fashion glam is to look for comfort in the cut. A good cut of womens jeans highlights just the right shapes and brings out the assets in your body and personality. Oversized women could choose flared or bootleg cuts so that their flabs, which are usually found in the mid-portion and thighs, could be balanced by the outward bottom part of the pants. Aside from the cut, oversized women can also be sexy by choosing the right style, design, or color for their pants. For curvaceous or voluptuous women who also have large butts to flaunt, pants without or less flambuoyant pockets could be worn for balance. As much as possible, light colors should also be avoided because these accentuate the heaviness of the oversized person. By just considering all these elements, oversized women can definitely look gorgeous in the hippest pair of jeans.

Hard To Find Custom Jeans

2007-03-28T14:16:00.000-04:00

by Brian Johanssen

Finding custom jeans can be very difficult and expensive. Designers like Diesel and Seven offer hand made jeans that make each pair somewhat unique. To get the best custom look from these designers, the faded and worn jeans offer more hand made customization that can almost double the price. Getting just a couple of pairs can run you around $400. For most of us that could be rent or a nice car payment. There are ways that you can get around spending so much and get jeans so custom that nobody will have the same ones.

There are two ways to get the best custom jeans. You can customize jeans that you already have to update your look or you can shop for new jeans at a discounted price. The key finding new jeans is to look for jeans that you like, but they do not have the fading or tears that are trendy right now. Designer jeans like this are always the cheapest of their denim line. To find great sales you can ask sales people in finer clothing establishments about upcoming sales because they are used to trying to get a personal relationship with their customers. If they do not know about any upcoming sales, ask if they have a customer list that will call you when there is a sale. Most good sales people will do this.

When you have selected a pair of jeans that you want to customize, old or new, you will need to get one tool. The best tool for customizing is called a Dremel. It is a small high speed drill that comes with various attachments for all kinds of jobs. You can also use a drill if you already have one, but the shape of conventional drill is not optimal for this job. For a drill, you will need to buy a horizontal sanding bit.

With your Dremel or drill you are going to use the attachment that has a thimble shaped end wrapped with sandpaper. Set the speed to about 2000 rpms and start wearing down the edge of the leg opening. This is a good place to start because all faded jeans are worn here. Get a feel for how is wears through the fabric. Then you can move to the front and rear pockets. After that, use your imagination to wear them wherever you like. Good places to include some wear are the knees and thigh. Remember that you want them to look different. Come up with a new idea that no one has seen before. You can duplicate a pair you have seen if you like as well. The Dremel tool is a good investment for this job because you can use it on future pairs of jeans as well as hats, belts and canvas sneakers.

Modest Wedding Dresses for Every Kind of Girl

Modest Wedding Dresses for Every Kind of Girl
I think it would be safe to say that today most brides prefer sleeveless wedding dresses. However, you might be surprised to know that many brides prefer modest wedding dresses and you might be even more surprised that they look lovely in them. Whether young and mature brides alike are choosing a modest wedding dress because they are getting married in a religious venue that requires modest dress, or because they simply prefer a modest wedding dress, they have access to a wide array of lovely fashions that fit the style of almost every type of bride. From haughty couture to ballroom and from the beach to the baseball diamond, they (and you) can find the right modest wedding dress for the day of all days.

Beach Girl Modest Wedding Dress
If you are the type of girl that dreams of a destination wedding with your intimate family and friends, then consider two of the modest wedding gowns that I think would belong on the sand!
The first dress I have in mind is one that is simple, yet gathered in “bustle bursts” in the skirt. The effect is stunning. It looks like billowed clouds but isn’t pretentious. It also portrays the white motion of the sea, which for the beach—what could be better. Want to see the image of the dress that inspires my words? I saw the image of this cloud dress on a bridal gown website.
Another modest wedding dress beach option is a simple two-piece dress with simple trim and a graceful loop of the skirt. It gives the impression of effortless soft char or beauty—for the calm, sweet, beach bride. I saw the image2 that inspired these ideas on the same bridal gown website.

Couture Girl
For the girl who hates to admit it but will truly only settle for the best and most couture of fashions, there are dresses that will warm the heart of even the most determined and haughty fashionistas. For the fasionista, elegant beadwork can be exceptional and a flawless cut is required. A fashionista should consider the daring new-age gown that will stand out with a modest--yet form fitting--richly beaded gown, that flares hill-like past the hips into an ending that is fit for a movie star. Check out the photo that inspires my admiration.3

Let’s face it. The true fashionista wants to show off her beauty and grace and true blue loveliness. She may also want to show off her tiny little waist and will be able to do exactly that with the dress I have in mind. With a splash of color that draws the eye and a skirt of tiered loveliness there will be plenty of eyes wandering after this lovely item.

Accessory Girl
For the girl who wants a modest wedding dress but knows that it is the accessories that really make a statement, I would recommend two items:

The sash brooch is the perfect way to attract attention to the waist and add a touch of richness to a modest dress.
A tiara with the right hair locks can brighten an entire wedding! This tiara, though small hints towards royalty and grace.

Country Girl
A “country girl” may choose almost any style of dress, but I like to think of her focusing on a dress that is well made yet unadorned. A pure, sweet look with a traditional veil and a fitted waist would make a lovely dress for the girl who loves the pure feelings of the outdoors.
How about a dress that will remind you of Julia Robert’s “bell” dress in the movie, “Runaway Bride.” This type of dress in conjunction with a classic veil says gorgeous country in my book of love.

You may be a hippie bride, a European chic bride, a cowgirl bride or an Asian style bride. No matter what type of bride you are, you can take advantage of the gorgeous array of modest wedding dresses that are readily available today.

Happy Wedding Planning!
