Selecting a Dress for your Son’s Wedding

 

While it is your son’ great day, you too have a lot on your hands. While preparing the guest list, sending out the invites, deciding the venue and the food are all undoubtedly very important, choosing what to wear on the wedding day should be on top of the list.




Start the exercise at least a couple of months in advance. If you select from mother of the groom dresses at a bridal salon you will still need time for fittings and changes. However, you need more time once you decide to have a tailor-made dress. You have to go to the shop a couple of times for alterations to ensure the right fit. All this take time and hence, start the process early.

Traditionally, the mother of the bride selects her dress first and informs the mother of the groom after which you can set in motion the selection of your dress. Hence, keep in touch with your counterpart to quicken the process. Ask your son about any color cue or theme fixed by him and the bride as you have to follow it. Mother of the bride dresses are available in a wide range and you should have no difficulty in picking one that meets all the required goals. 

There is one restriction though – do not select a color that matches that of the bride or the bridesmaids. The color of your dress might be a shade darker or lighter but never the same color. To maintain a harmonious look in the wedding photographs though, it is not a bad idea to match the color of your dress with that of the mother of the bride.

Since then, bolero jackets have been the trendiest clothing for women around the world. A bolero jacket is an all-weather outfit. The lace ones are ideal for summer while the heavier brocade or velvet ones help keep out the winter chill. Further, a bolero jacket with flowery patterns can be worn for informal outings with friends while the classier and more expensive ones are ideal for formal evening wear for parties or a dinner date. However, a plus size bolero jacket   is a blessing in disguise for heavier women. Generally, it is seen that fat accumulates in plumper women around the upper arms and the mid-riff. With a half or full-sleeved bolero, the upper arms are covered and you can wear your sleeveless dresses in summer and step out in style. Addi...

Women’s fashion – Basics of dressing casually

Every season, you spend a fair share of your money to refresh your wardrobe. Yet, making sense of which pieces to stay away from and which merit your time and money can be an overwhelming task, especially in the case of casual wear.

But the cardigan has not been a fashion icon since the 90s when it was worn in a disheveled scruffy way – plus sizes draped over dresses and jeans. But now, cardigans are back on the catwalks of the fashion capitals of the world, thanks to influencers like Gucci, Prada, and Christopher Lane.
