Social Dresses

There are so many types and styles of dresses in the world. How do you know which ones are social dresses? My definition for a social dress is something that is simple, fits well, and is something you like. The dress itself should not be too fancy or decorated because you want to be able to pair the dress with accessories without it looking too crowded. You want to be able to wear the dress to a variety of different places and occasions.

If you buy a very fancy dress to go out to a high end restaurant, you most likely don't want to wear that same dress to go to a work party or a simpler dinner. If you have a social dress you could wear it to many different places and still look and feel appropriate.

There are hundreds of styles and designs in the world; it can be a bit overwhelming and scary. It may be hard sometimes to find a style that's right for you, but if you are like me and don't have one particular style, this is not a bad thing. You can wear different styles and have a lot of fun when you go out. Or if you are lucky enough to have a style that's perfect and says everything about you, that's good too! Now you can get dresses in that style and look fantastic and feel comfortable. Being comfortable is the key to having a good time, and a social dress will definitely help you feel comfortable.

Buying First Communion Dresses on a Budget

Choosing discount First Communion dresses can give an affordable, classic or contemporary look without compromising superb quality or luxurious beauty. Discounts may range from under 10% to over 50% of the normal cost of a communion dress. Reduced prices are offered for every style and fabric and to fit any budget. Countless elegant choices are available at a discount including designer brands and Irish communion dresses as well as traditional and modern gowns. Shop early, preferably in January for a spring celebration, for the best selection of lovely dresses at low prices.

Buying discount First Communion dresses doesn't mean that one has to sacrifice exquisite detailing. From embroidered appliqués and embroidered flowers to pearled sequences and pearl-covered buttons, perfect detailing is available with a discount purchase. Beautiful floral and ribbon accents adorn affordable dresses.

When buying a communion dress, consider individual parish regulations. Guidelines vary and parishes may request formal length attire or might object to sleeveless dresses. Whatever the requirements, discount dresses can meet the demands in divine style. Choose the cool elegance of a formal length gathered taffeta gown or an adorable A-line dress with a chic sleeveless bodice.

When shopping for a communion dress, always consider the opinion of that special little girl. Maybe she prefers a flowing organza skirt or may favor a more streamlined style. Maybe she'd like to shine in a sweetie pie peau de soie or would love a satin dress with V-neck appliqués. Her First Communion day is her day!

For purchasing discount First Communion dresses, online buying is the overwhelming popular choice among shoppers. Online stores have a wide variety of communion dresses, year-round affordable prices, and regular sales. The 'cream of the crop' among the online stores offer free shipping and free returns.

Buying a First Communion dress doesn't have to break the bank. Besides taking advantage of discount prices, careful shopping can lead to stylish and economical selections. Many First Communion dresses can be used later for other special occasions including as a flower girl dress. Touches of color can be added with delicate flowers, pretty ribbons, or a colorful sash to match the colors of the bridal party. If a bride is wearing off-white, however, a brilliant white communion dress won't suit as a flower girl dress. An ivory wedding gown would appear dull and dingy alongside a bright white flower girl dress.

First Communion is a special time for a girl, her family and friends, as well as the church community. Shopping for communion dresses shouldn't put stress on families or their bank accounts. Discount First Communion dresses can be examples of opulence and luxury and they don't put undue burdens on family budgets.

Wedding Dresses - 5 Hot New Wedding Dress Designers You Need to Know

In the world of wedding fashion, your name is your trademark. From couture one-of-a-kind dresses to breezy ready-to-wear styles, these five up-and-coming designers represent the next class of high-style designer names to remember. Move over Ms. Wang...

The Island Fashionista - Tamara Catz

Peering from the panoramic window of her ocean-side studio on the island of Maui, it's easy for Tamara Catz to understand that a sweaty, satin-and-tulle-encased bride isn't a great look for a beach wedding. Instead, she envisions the kind of dress that can "make a girl want to walk barefoot in the sand with the man of her dreams - flowy, feminine, simple." Catz, 36, modeled her line of romantic, bohemian-style wedding dresses after her breezy sensibility. 

The Buenos Aires native spent seven years creating contemporary resort wear before she felt the artistic urge to foray into the world of bridal wear in 2007.  "A wedding dress is probably the most special garment a woman will ever put on, so I knew that my bridal designs could be a little more dreamy and unique than those for my every day clothes," says the 36-year-old. The Hawaiian-inspired designs feature relaxed feminine shapes, simple cuts, and organic accents like shells.  Rather than overpowering the bride, Catz's simple silhouettes and light, flowing fabrics "make a women feel like herself," something she believes, "the traditional Cinderella-like wedding dress doesn't always do." Naturally, they're most at home as alternative-style gowns for beach weddings, and many are even versatile enough to wear after the wedding.  The best part for that special day, though, is that a Catz design can feel just as refreshing as sand between their toes.

The Custom Duo - Miosa Bride

"Miosa" combines two names: Michael and Sanea Sommerfield. Miosa Bride combines two visions: that of a husband and a wife to craft couture of the highest quality in a surprising location. Based in Sacramento, California, Sanea, 42, brings her business expertise and insight into the female psyche, while Michael, 46, draws from experience gained sewing outdoor wear at his father's store and running a Sacramento tailor shop. "Sewing is like breathing to him," Sanea gushes. "I am still amazed most of the time at his understanding and knowledge."

The decision to stay in Sacramento despite a zip code that lacks an obvious couture culture was in part an effort to bring high style to the capital city, but it was also a personal one. "We had four children and did not want to move the family," Sanea explains. "Family comes first, so we had to build a business that could function here." Their exquisite fabrics and design techniques have earned them a local following, and now that the kids are grown, the duo plans to begin branding nationally this year. 

The consultation phase is an integral component in the process of creating their gowns. The team takes detailed measurements to draft an initial pattern that accurately mimics the bride's body with respect to her level of comfort.  They then gather information about her and her wedding so they can weave her personality into the dress, whether soft fabrics for a romantic or a daring silhouette for a sophisticate. Pieces of the gown are then individually cut and sewn in-house, often using 100 percent silk fabrics imported from Europe. The result is a couture gown inspired by the natural aesthetic of the woman wearing it.

The Green Pioneer -  Deborah Lindquist

Deborah Lindquist raised a few eyebrows when she launched a daywear line made exclusively from recycled fabrics in 1983, long before the terms "eco" and "green" had been coined.  Raised on a farm in Willmar Minnesota, surrounded by gardens, orchards and corn fields, Lindquist was 5 years old when her grandmother taught her to sew.  "Life on the farm sparked my respect for the earth, and I knew that if I was to make an impact in the fashion world, I would have to do so in a manner that remained true to my love for the environment," says the 52-year-old.

Lindquist highlighted a 2005 fashion show with a wedding dress made of hemp that drew national interest - from brides who read about it in blogs to a USA Today article on help farming that featured it.  So in 2007, Deborah launched a green wedding collection made entirely of recycled materials, hemp blends, and soy silks.

If the idea of wearing hemp conjures up thoughts of scratchy ill-fitted clothing, brides can rest assured that these luxurious, highly-stylized gowns are more suitable for a walk down the red carpet than a stroll up Haight-Ashbury. Lindquist's dresses have a romantic, feminine feel with a bit of an edge.  Detailed lace, beadwork, and ribbons embellish her creations with an air of elegance, while flirtatious bustiers and corsets lend a cutting-edge aesthetic.  In an era in which greening your wedding is oh-so-stylish, her designs allow you to wear that environmental commitment - and look good every step of the way.

The Southern Belle - Suzanne Perron

A fashion designer rooted in a culture of debutantes, oversized weddings, and Mardi Gras queens seems somehow destined to create magnificent white ball gowns steeped in timeless elegance.  For New Orleans-native Suzanne Perron, that ambition took root when she received her first sewing machine from the Easter Bunny when she was 5 years old. "I dreamed of making beautiful romantic wedding gowns that mirrored the traditional aesthetic of this beautiful historic city," she remembers.

First though, she had to learn her craft by studying under Carolina Herrera, Ana Sui, and Vera Wang in New York City.  Thirteen years later, a homesick Perron returned to New Orleans to set up her bridal boutique.

Suzanne's designs are clearly inspired by the city's distinct culture and celebrated architecture.  On her gowns, you will find pintucking that mimics a fluted column on a St. Charles mansion or beadwork inspired by the intricate filigree and plaster work that finishes door frames and ceilings throughout the city. 

She admits that she's "not looking to be fashion-forward" and instead describes her designs as "once in a lifetime gowns in white and ivory," despite the many stylists and editors who insist color is en vogue.  It's a natural union for a designer who continues to make a name for herself in a city where traditions are preserved and celebrated.

The Embellishment Artiste - Mariana Leung

For Mariana Leung, it's a wedding dress's smallest detail that affords the greatest self expression. "I love that my imagination can run wild with embroidery, since I can adapt an embellishment for a woman of any shape, size, taste and budget," she explains, "no other aspect of a wedding gown grants such freedom." Leung has channeled that creative streak since childhood when her father convinced her she was talented enough to make her own clothes. "Every time I asked for an outfit in a store window, he responded that I could make a better version of it myself," she remembers.

Leung honed those skills designing couture embroidery for the bridal industry's top houses - Monique Lhullier, Vera Wang, and Giorgio Armani. "Bridal was the perfect fit because it's the one outfit that is purchased on emotion instead of practicality, granting more room for creativity," says the 34-year-old. Now, she's parlaying that experience into her own gowns, conceptualized and built around an intricate embroidery pattern. Most of her brides bring a motif to incorporate, such as the detailing of an heirloom piece of jewelry or a pattern from a grandmother's wedding dress.  Others peruse Leung's "look book" of embroidery designs for inspiration.

For such a personal, hands-on experience, Leung has a surprising number of out-of-town clients.  For one project, a bride e-mailed a picture of flowers from her family's backyard, and Mariana designed a bolero jacket with fabric appliques inspired by the flowers for the bride to wear over the very basic gown she had already purchased. "The project proved that customization and luxury can be affordable," she says, "you just need to get a little creative."

Celebrities, Designer Dresses and Latest Fashion Forecast For 2009

Chic Tough Girl Looks, Military Influences, and Seductive Jumpsuits rule the Runway.

The New Year is barely in the door and we are already looking to our favorite celebrities to show us how to make this our best year in Fashion yet. Anne Hathaway is a celebrity style icon in the making already, with her raven hair and creamy skin. With her fashion break out role in The Devil Wear Prada, the public took notice of her expressive appearance. While recently in the pages of Vogue and InStyle magazines, she resonates in Versace, Thakoon, and Marchesa. Her casual side is appealing to many as well, having been photographed in a military influenced jacket. This Sergeant Pepper inspired look will be hot in 2009, and will be seen in electric blue, orange, and red, in addition to the more traditional look of black or olive. Pair with form fitting pants, boots, and a simple t-shirt. The fashion accessories can be pared down as shiny metallic buttons will festoon across the jackets. Piles of metal chains will be your ideal accessory choice for a plain shirt.

Love her or hate her, Victoria Beckham will continue to rule the fashion world, with the fashionistas waiting hungrily for her next hair style or statement. A fashion brand herself, she will continue to reinvent her own look of elegant flamboyance style. Look to Victoria to be the enduring face of high glamour, as anything worth leaving the house for should be dressed for. Body skimming, elegant dresses with an element of exaggeration are her forte, like the black Dolce dress she wore recently in Dubai. Look for Victoria to also influence the menswear look with her seductive take on wearing high waisted, fluid moving pants that are hot off designer runway. The new soft silhouette of pants will be worn in various lengths this year from chic cropped styles to the floor skimming variety, and topped with smart jackets, feminine blouses, and knits.

While it was recently reported that she hates the words "boho chic", Kate Hudson is certainly an influence for it. Her laid back California way of dressing makes her look a favorite to women of all ages. She embodies comfort, with a fashion style. Kate's take on combining patterns, color, and a an easy aesthetic will rule many closets this year - think dresses by Marc by Marc Jacobs, Prada, and M Missoni. Missoni knits feature an incredible weave of colors that give only a nod to the boho look and make knits the comfortable choice. Natasha Leratti offers an affordable knit look at her latest fashion designer collection website, in a citrus kissed yellow mini dress, accented by the ever popular black and white.

As a new celebrity who dresses the celebrities, Rachel Zoe's own style has taken storm due to her reality show. One can't miss the larger than life luxurious fur vests she favors, paired with skirts or skinny jeans. While she favors vintage, her look has an exotic flair that evokes a Russia meets West Coat influence. Strong prints in rich colors, chunky knits, and bold jewelry are the staple of her look. We will look to her to show us how to mix unusual textures and prints. Rachel is a perfect example of being able to dress high-low by taking a vintage $2000 Chanel gown and mixing it with a $98 faux fur vest from The Limited. Not only is her look fun and fresh, it inspires our inner designer to take risks in mixing styles.

Tough Girl or Biker Chic will edge its way back in, due to the strong women it evokes. The rock style looks of Rihanna and Pink brings their influence to a look that can be dressed up or down. Rihanna will be a style setter for this year with her stunning good looks and cutting edge fashion style. Her sweet smile accentuates her glam rocker appeal. Little black dresses are topped off with edgy fitted jackets that offer zippers, rips, and a sharper structure. While leather seems like an obvious choice, look for unusual takes on the jacket that include fitted knit sweaters over skinny black pants and boots. Leather pants and thigh high boots are creating a tough but glam look. Studded accents on designer handbags or boots are offset with shiny sequins to bring in a feminine touch. A Balenciaga Biker Bag may set you back thousands of dollars for this look, but consider checking out leratti.com to find her take on new and vintage designer handbags to suit this look.

While it may take awhile for this trend to gain steam, many celebrities have been photographed wearing the new jumpsuit. Kate Hudson, Scarlett Johannsen, and Rosario Dawsen have been seen adding their touch to this retro look. Chunky belts, long chains, and miles of bangles add spunk and glamour to an otherwise simple style. Look for silky, flowy materials that accentuate movement, and show subtle glimpses of skin. Styles will be long or cropped, and will be set off with sexy high heels or boots. The jumpsuit can be dressed down for day, or up for cocktail hour, and may prove to have a versatile ability for the modern women. Look for spring neutrals to bring a safari -tinged feel to the style.

Whoever your style icon may be, develop your own sense of style. Natasha Leratti is a Miami based High End Fashion Designer with a cutting edge vibe and distinct sense of style.

Homecoming Dresses

There comes a time in every woman's life when she is declared as the homecoming queen - the most beautiful and most desirable woman, not to mention most popular compared to all other women present. She possesses that rare quality of having beauty, brains, and personality. The spotlight focuses on the homecoming queen once her name is announced. Of course, no woman would want to be caught dead wearing an ill-fitting dress for that special occasion.

The dreamiest of all dresses, the homecoming dress, stands out with its fitted bodice and full skirt that flows from the waist to the ankle and, more often than not, reaches to the floor. This dress can hide your body flaws and slims down a pear shaped body by drawing attention to the breasts. Gowns with a dropped waist or a Basque waist give the illusion of a slimmer shape. You may opt for a gown with a corseted bodice or lace-up back for that glamorous look.

The act of buying that homecoming dress for that once in a lifetime event should not be treated lightly. Of course, you want that dress to fit perfectly so you can show off your nice curves and feel confident and comfortable at the same time. Having the perfect gown means getting your measurements right. Just because you wear a size 24 jeans does not mean that you could easily fit into a size 24 dress. Evening wear has a different cut. You could opt for a smaller or a bigger size.

It is important to measure correctly prior to ordering online or buying from a store. First, measure around the body by putting the tape measure under your arms. Place the tape measure around the fullest part of the chest while keeping the arms relaxed.

Second, measure the waist by following the natural waistline. Place your finger between the tape and the body for a comfortable fit. Third, measure the hips by measuring the fullest part of the body. For petite women, measure about seven inches from the waistline. For those women with average height, the correct hip measurement is done eight inches below the waistline.

So start shopping around for that perfect homecoming dress. Who knows, you might just be the next homecoming queen.

Wedding Dresses From Men's Point of View

When it comes to weddings, it is the always the women's point of view that is scored and quartered. Haven't anybody thought about asking men what they would like their brides to wear when it comes to wedding dresses?

What Men Would Like If They Had the Chance

When women shop for their wedding dresses, do they ask the opinion of their grooms? Most would rather surprise their men and anyway choosing the wedding gown is their right. Ask any woman if she would let her man decide what she should wear for the wedding rites and get a baleful glare in return. The wedding dress is the be all and end all and it should be as perfect as the stunning gown in their minds. Why let men ruin their fairytale?

But hear it from men. They love to ogle women in tight fitting pants and micro mini-skirts but when it comes to their women, they are stricter than the Benedictine monks are. So it's not unusual if men would love to have their brides wear wedding dresses that:

* show curves but not much skin
* have moderately low necklines
* have no thigh high slits to distract other men
* are simple with less frills
* traditional in cut and design

But not all men have the same tastes and some men do have some weird ideas of women's fashion especially wedding dresses. The avant-garde will approve a racy wedding gown or something out of the traditional culture.

Men's Point of View

When it comes to women's wardrobes men have a lot to say about the following:

* spandex under dresses
* pointy toed shoes
* leggings worn under dresses
* Uggs
* huge drugstore sunglasses
* short shirts worn over tight pants

What does your man hate about your style? You know by his pleadings not to wear those crazy fashions he cannot understand and those volcanic red lipsticks, Fidel Castro hats, pregnant look, crocs, and hottie shirts that drive him batty. As a compromise, hear what he has to say about your wedding dress but be prepared to argue.

Perhaps your man wants you all covered with a high necked gown and your slender arms sheathed in long white gloves when you want an off-the-shoulder creation. It would excite him to watch you do a special striptease for him during the first night you share as husband and wife - that is if you still have the energy for some blood racing and adrenalin pumping private show.

Maybe he loves your legs and would want the world to know what you got so he will ask you to wear a mini wedding dress even when you want a princess gown. Well, this will have you mourning over the fairy tale wedding dresses you have designed since you were a little girl, but your man has a point here, right?

Would You Agree to His Fantasies?

Crazy as it may seem, women do forego their dream wedding dresses when they like the idea of wearing something out of the ordinary that goes with the wedding theme. If you love him too much, then say goodbye to fairytale wedding dresses if he wants a beach party themed wedding.

Wedding Dresses For Any Season

When you are getting married it is important to remember every detail in planning your wedding. It is important to take into consideration what season your wedding date is set for and choose the perfect wedding dress for that season.

Fall wedding dresses

The fall season can be a very tricky month; it can be warm during the day, and freezing cold at night. It is important that you choose the right dress. Wedding experts have recommended that wearing a strapless wedding dress will allow you to be comfortable during the day, however if you get chilly toward the end of the day, you can wear a shawl, wrap or even a stole to stay warm. These accessories will accent the look of your gown.

It is also recommended that the gown should be off white or cream color with bronze or gold beading. Jeweled accents are perfect for fall wedding dresses.

Summer wedding dresses

Summertime is the most chosen season for weddings. There are many different options for wedding dresses for the summer season. It is important that you decide well before you choose a dress where the wedding will be held. It is equally important that you choose a dress appropriate for the location. You do not want to wear a full-length wedding gown if you are getting married on the beach or in some other casual setting. Summer wedding gowns should be made out of lightweight materials like silk, chiffon or crepe. The lightweight material will allow you to stay comfortable in the summer heat and during the festivities.

Winter wedding dresses

Winter is perhaps the most difficult season to choose a wedding dress for. Although the traditional long white wedding gown is recommended for winter weddings, many people choose to go with other colors that reflect the season. Green blue and even red colors are all wonderful choices for a winter wedding.

Long sleeves are also recommended for a winter wedding. However you can choose a gown that has lace and embroidery for sleeves. It creates a very elegant look.

Choosing a wedding dress can be the highlight of planning your wedding. It is important to understand that you will not chose the first wedding dress that you see, and that it may take some time to find the perfect wedding dress. It is equally important that you do not stress during the process of choosing a wedding dress. You will know immediately when you see the right one.

The Irresistible Glam of Wedding Dresses

When brides march down the aisle, all eyes are riveted on the wedding dress; the bridal dress is the cherry on the cake so to speak and all brides are beautiful in their stunning wedding dresses. What's about these dresses that fire the imagination of little girls and stoke the longings for grand weddings?

The Dress of a Lifetime

Every girl has her favorite dress and there are dresses to mark milestones in their growing-up years and during their transition from girls to women. But the best dress of all is the wedding dress. Girls have visions of satin and lace, pearls and bows, misty veils, and flowers, running in their minds when they imagine themselves in a bridal dress. They see themselves as princesses ready to float away to a magical land.

The wedding gown or dress is the ultimate dress; it transforms ordinary-looking women into gorgeous brides. There must be something about wedding dresses. No wonder, brides spend three-fourths of the preparation time planning their dress. They want the best wedding dress whether it's a discount dress or an heirloom or a second-hand dress or custom-made gown from top Parisian designer houses.

Wedding dresses are worn once and never used again for a second wedding. It would rather be passed on from bride to another. For a woman who is getting into a second marriage, the dress is still an important detail in the planning. Either it must surpass the first wedding gown or must be less glamorous, but nevertheless, it must still be the best of all wedding dresses. Second wedding or not, this is still the ultimate dress.

The Evolution of Bridal Dresses

Different decades have made their mark on the wedding dress. Traditionally, these dresses were dark in color for white gowns or dresses were difficult to clean. As time marched on, dresses for wedding rituals favored long white wedding gowns. All these changed with each incoming generation. Currently there is breakaway from traditional white nuptial dresses.

The modest styles of these dresses have been replaced with shorter versions and these days it is not unusual to see dresses with thigh-high slits or red or even black dresses. Whatever the changes, the glam does not disappear; instead it comes on hotter than ever to please every woman's secret fantasy of a wedding dress.

Brides wear their wedding gowns to bungee weddings, parachute weddings, and underwater wedding rites. The more the unusual the wedding, the more brides insist on the traditional white wedding dress. It's a matter of choice and style and there's no stopping brides from choosing their style for their wedding getup.

Follow the Glam

If you have a fixation for wedding dresses and planning to have the best wedding dress when the time comes, follow the glam. Keep up with the wedding fashion of celebrities and royalty. You can get several ideas for your dream wedding gown; mix and match some styles, and copy accessories that would impress yourself and your wedding guests.

While you are still waiting for your dream wedding or for your man to pop the question, keep a vigilant watch on wedding dresses to keep up with changing styles. It's the glam of your wedding dress and beautiful bride that will make your man proud as peacock when you march down the aisle.

These traditional versions of a wedding dress are also as beautiful as the accustomed white bridal dress and at times more interesting since these are not really seen that often.

In the old Western cultures, marriages during and subsequent the medieval era meant more than just a union between a man and a woman. This was due to the fact that they could also be considered as a union between companies, families, businesses or even countries. A lot of weddings during this time were more of a matter of politics especially for the nobles and higher echelon of the society. This has greatly affected the way wedding dresses were made and worn depending on your social status. Usually, Brides coming from the wealthy families wore bridal gowns of exclusive fabrics and rich colors.

Through the years, brides from wealthy families dressed in a manner that reflected their social status, having the highest form of fashion available combined with the most expensive materials that money could buy. On the other hand, the poorest brides wore the best church clothes that they could find on their wedding day.

Nowadays, there are a lot of choices for wedding gowns since there are different price ranges. There has also been a variety of lengths and colors available since the Western traditions have loosened up. Women can now also have the option to either buy ready made gowns, have a dressmaker create one or wear a family heirloom. Also, the bridal salons today already present samples of the wedding gowns when you visit their store. Because of this you can already select a design that suits your tastes right then and there and just have it customized to fit your size.

For the Asian countries having Eastern culture such as Vietnam, China and India, the traditional bridal dresses are very much affected by the cultural beliefs of the people. The Ao dai which is the traditional bridal dress for Vietnamese women is a perfect example. It is usually in red color which signifies prosperity and good luck for the Vietnamese. The other mentioned countries also share the same line of thinking with regards to the color of their traditional bridal dresses.

However, more women today choose not to follow suit with the customs and traditions of their country or culture since people have a more liberated mindset as compared to before. Instead, they go for customized wedding gowns which will give them a unique appearance as well as represent their own personalities.

Other materials for great dresses are chiffon, crepe, georgette, organza, cotton and charmeuse. You should avoid wearing silk since silk isn't a breathable fabric.

The bridal entourage too should be dressed in similar attires. The bridesmaids could be given dresses of similar make and cut. The colors could be of the lighter hues such as white, cream or light pink. These colors are more appropriate for such a venue. Another idea is to have them wear short identical prom dresses. You can also have them fitted for dresses made especially for the occasion. This saves time in searching for that perfect design.

The sea breeze should really be taken into consideration. This should dictate the cut of the dress. Longer dresses tend to wave around in the wind and this could present some issues, so the best cut should be short. Slip dresses employing a straight-line design behaves better than fuller skirts. If you do decide to have a flowing dress, have it long. A simple strapless flared skirt is a possibility. To break the color up, you can add a little something blue for luck. This additional color won't clash with the overall color theme since it matches the ocean.

A veil maybe a nice addition to the dress but it really isn't that practical. The veil will tend to flap around in the wind. You may even lose it to the wind completely, might as well leave the veils for the ones doing traditional weddings.

You may want to wear a wide brimmed hat to complete the beach look. You may also try and add a flower to your hair. Make sure though that these are secured by pins. You don't want them flying off during the "I do."s.

Psychology of Crossdressing - Why Men Wear Dresses

Thousands of men worldwide are, at this very moment, putting on their pantyhose, dresses, makeup, and high heels, trying to look as pretty and as feminine as they can. The sight of a grown man wearing a dress, in many societies is considered odd, or unusual, and may even be a cause for ridicule. This phenomenon is often misunderstood, and often yields the question, "Why would men want to wear clothing of the opposite sex?" "Are these men perverted, or crazy?" "Are they gay?"

First, let me assure you that this phenomenon occurs in all the countries of the world, and is often referred to as transvestism, or crossdressing. Transvestism is defined as "the practice of dressing and behaving like the opposite sex." Men who choose to dress as females, come from all ethnic groups, and from all walks of life.

Furthermore, they are neither perverted, nor crazy. These individuals could be your next door neighbor, your boss, or even your brother. The man sitting next to you at church could be wearing panties and a garter belt under his clothes for all you know. Crossdressing is actually quite common, but it is most often done in private or as a secret that is hidden from others. Although, more and more men are "coming out" and dressing "en femme." In fact, there are conventions where males of different ages and backgrounds, get together to enjoy the freedom of dressing and socializing as females. These conventions may draw hundreds of crossdressers.

Why would men do this, you might ask? Well, the fact of the matter is that they choose to crossdress for many reasons. The reasons vary according to the individual.

One common reason that men choose to crossdress, is for sexual gratification. They may get sexually exited with the feel of the feminine fabrics and clothing on their body. They may enjoy the sexual excitement that they experience from wearing feminine clothing, and in seeing their feminine image.

Another reason for crossdressing, is that men want to feel free to express the feminine side of their personality. Boys are commonly socialized to believe that they cannot portray feminine traits. They can't cry, appear weak, or be soft. Males who dress in female clothing often feel liberated to express their emotions that perhaps, they are not able to freely express as themselves. For at least a few moments, they can shed the burdens and responsibilities of being a "man." Often, this results in feelings of comfort, and reduced stress. Men wear dresses because it feels good.

Perhaps a reason for crossdressing is one that is not often expressed, but is one that I believe is common. The reason that men wear dresses, is to feel and experience the "power of a woman." What power is this? It is the power of a beautiful woman to be able to turn the heads of all the men as she enters the room. It is the power that lingerie models have when they appear on television, and spontaneously create a sensation in the groins of thousands of the men who are watching. It is the power to choose who will get their attention, and perhaps who will mate with them. It is a power that is biologically linked and has allowed the human race to propagate.

One reason that men crossdress is to feel this power, and to experience what it is to have the attributes that create this power. This may be similar to the man who puts on the power suit and expensive shoes, sits behind a big desk in the office on the twentieth floor overlooking the city, pretending he is the chief executive officer of a multi-million dollar corporation. He pretends for a day to be the top man, the millionaire corporate mogul who makes the choices. People open doors for him, bring him coffee, and open their wallets for him. This is "power" and it is very stimulating and intoxicating.

Women are also very powerful. Women are very powerful, sexually. They know this, and men know this. It is equally stimulating and intoxicating to experience this type of power for a day. Even if it is only for a moment, and within the man's head, it is a beautiful feeling to feel "sexy" and "feminine." Power as we all know, is an aphrodisiac. This is why men wear dresses, and why this practice has occurred for centuries.

Unfortunately, in many societies crossdressing, especially male to female, is often still a taboo. A man wearing a dress, or other feminine attire in public is often the subject of ridicule. It is the purpose of this article to create acceptance, and to portray crossdressing as a normal practice that occurs throughout the world and in many cultures.

Wanda Wilson is a psychologist with expertise in crossdressing and transvestism, who promotes acceptance and understanding of the transgendered community. She provides professional advice to those who wish to explore this aspect of their personality. For more information, visit her website at: http://www.ultracrossdresser.com.

Brand New Ideas For Used Bridesmaids Dresses

It is common knowledge that the majority of bridesmaids dresses can only be used once. Thus, people often feel as if there is no other occasion where they could wear or use the garment. Thus, the majority of bridesmaid's dresses generally spend the bulk of their time being pushed to the back of one's closet or ending up in storage. However, this does not have to be the case. Instead, a person can find creative ways to reuse their used bridesmaid dresses.

One of the first things a person should consider when thinking about how to reuse used bridesmaids dresses is to consider alteration. Used bridesmaids dresses can be altered to fit differently and to look differently. Other fabrics can be added to the dress and it can be hemmed or reshaped with the help of a tailor or seamstress. Thus, if one is willing to spend a bit of money, the dress can end up looking good as new. Additionally, if a person does not have the money for alteration, then he or she should consider using other pieces of clothing to make the bridesmaid's dress look different. A cardigan can make a formal dress seem that much more casual.

Another great way to make a used bridesmaid's dress new is to consider using the fabric for craft projects. One can take the fabric and make everything from pillows to quilts. Thus, one should consider using the fabric of a bridesmaid's dress for other craft projects. This way, the dress is not being wasted.

Lastly, the owners of used bridesmaids dresses should consider donating the garment to one of many non-profit organizations. There are a number of groups that collect not only clothing but specifically formal clothing to help teens and adults who may need such objects for work or for formal events. This is a great way to do something good and to ensure that the dress is worn more than once.

If a person takes a little time and energy, they can ensure that the used bridesmaids dresses they bought are used again. This in turn helps to reuse the bridesmaid's dress and to ensure that the time and money spent on the dress is for more than one day. There are many different ways to ensure that used bridesmaids dresses do more than sit in the back of a closet. At the end of the day, this can make a person feel as if the investment in a bridesmaid dress has a number of purposes.

Your bridesmaid dress can be a long term investment and not simply a one-use item. Create a fashionable bridesmaid dress that you can jazz up and wear to other occasions starting at $118 at Bridesmaidtailor.com.

In the Quest For Plus Size Wedding Dresses - Some Suggestions

Every girl dreams of making her dream wedding come true. This dream wedding is so vividly envisioned that it already outlines the kind of wedding dress to be worn, the theme of the ceremony, and even the characteristics of the groom.

Now that you've found the man of your dreams, you are all eager and ready to make that dream into a reality. You are now prepared to choose from among fabulous designs of wedding bouquets - in Toronto or elsewhere. Your only worry is, you can't be that free when choosing your bridal gown. You worry that you won't be as dazzling especially that you will be in one of those plus size wedding dresses.

Fret no more - as you will still look stunning even if you will be walking down the aisle on a plus size wedding dress. Here are some tips that will help you rise from the ordinary and make you look heavenly in one of those fab plus size wedding dresses:

1. Be patient.

The whole charade of shopping for bridal gowns - plus size wedding dresses or not - is a long one. Therefore, you should be ready for a long haul. Don't think that shopping for the perfect dress would only take a few days or weeks. Sometimes, it would take you months. So save on some patience.

2. Know the style that will fit your figure.

Who says that shopping for plus size wedding dresses is limiting? Well, the truth is, you can still choose from among a wide selection of styles. You simply have to consider your body shape so you won't end up looking heavier and wider.

A-line styles are best for bottom-heavy women. Because this style flares from the hips down, then this will not emphasize the fullness of your hips and legs. This "benefit" makes A-line a popular style for plus size wedding dresses.

Also, you should stay away from wedding gowns that have a lot of puffs and frills. Keep it simple. Otherwise, these extra layers of clothing and unnecessary entanglements would only add more weight. Now, you don't want to have that impression on your wedding day, right? You don't want to look back decades from now and declare to yourself: I should not have chosen that style of dress; I should have gone for simple plus size wedding dresses.

If you are not that comfortable showing off your arms and shoulders, then stay away from tube and sleeveless plus size wedding dresses. Cover up. But make sure that you don't employ puffy or overly-lacy sleeves. Once again, keep it simple. Stay on the minimalist view of things. When you do this, you'll realize later that you've made the right choice.

Once again, bear in mind the shopping for wedding dresses is really challenging. This adjective holds true for both plus size and petite women. So, if you belong to the latter category, don't panic. Almost all bridal shops have a section for plus size wedding dresses.

This shows then that wedding experts have acknowledged the fact that you don't have to be petite and small to become a blushing bride. If you have the right curves and are voluptuous, then you definitely still have the right to be the most beautiful bride in the world.
