Customizing Evening Dresses: 5 basic Tips

If you want to design your very own evening dress,here you should pay attention.

You  can start by browsing a fashion magazine or looking on the Internet for popular evening dresses. Study the gowns that celebrities wear as they grace the red carpet. After getting ideas from this, do a little window shopping and assess the styles and fabrics that are generally used.

    Next, find the specific style of dress looks great on you. Ensure that your gown's shape, length and cut accentuate your body figure.

If you are a petite woman, then try to avoid floor-length evening dress as these may swallow you whole and make you look shorter. In addition, designing your own black evening dress may be the best option if you are a plus size.If you observed that your upper body is larger than your lower body, then you might want to disregard low-cut evening dresses. Of course, you do not want to look tacky and feel uncomfortable all throughout the night by constantly adjusting your dress.

Following this, try to research where you can find someone to custom-design your evening dress. You apparently need someone to sew your dress for you. You are in luck if there is someone in your family who is a professional seamstress, but if you don't, then it is best to find someone else. Sewing evening dresses is not an easy job so just leave this to an expert.

    After finding a seamstress, you can then proceed to shopping for the perfect fabric for your evening dress. Before you do this though, seek your seamstress' advice first for any restrictions or extra payments added to her service's final price based on the fabric type you select. Silk, for example, is a pricey and fragile textile that some seamstresses add an extra charge when used for evening dresses.

If there is a fabric left from your gown, then you might want to make your evening date a tie, ascot, cummerbund or vest. Some seamstresses will sew this free of charge.

Oh,I have to add this : remember to bring a digital camera with you to the fabric shop,so that you can assess the color of the fabric once it is photographed. Following this, upload the photos on your computer and observe if you still like the fabric's color when already uploaded. For instance, evening dresses in navy blue may look purple in printed pictures or uploaded photos.
