Cocktail Dresses for Heavy Women

Cocktail dress is one of the versatile dresses that were designed to wear in any big occasions. Traditionally, cocktail dresses are just for formal evening or special evening event or any party and the only required color for a cocktail dress, but we know that most designers have taken this dresses to a higher dimension. Nowadays, we can see many women wearing cocktail dresses on any occasion depend on the cut and the material of the dress and the accessorries combo with it. We can see women wearing cocktail dress in red, blue, or pink if you want to stand in the crowd.

One of the most important thing to consider when selecting a cocktail dress is your body type. Let's face it; most of us are not blessed with a supermodel body. Therefore, If you are one of those women that considered to be a top heavy or bottom heavy - it is a must to emphasize your cleavage and your legs. Wear a cocktail dress that is more revealing if your focus is your cleavage. It is more sexier and fashionable to show some of your cleavage. A plunging neckline or a low V-cut will do some trick. But if you prefer to emphasize both your legs and your cleavage, a short cocktail dress that has a plunging neckline will do. However, if your focus is just your legs, you can draw attention by wearing a solid color because it help to give an illusion. A short and sassy cocktail dress rule and sexy.

Accessories will also help to balance the illusion of your body. It is necessary to complete the look. Create your own style, remember confidence on what you wear and the inner beauty will shine through.

Wearing a Skirt

Not all women has the confidence to wear a skirt. Well, let's face it. I myself is not confident wearing long skirt but I love wearing miniskirt because I felt it is appropriate on my legs and I look more sexier. But there are many styles that look good and effortless styles on all shapes if we can carry it. There's no reason for us women not to wear a lovely skirt, whether it is long or short. All kinds of skirt looks stylish, very fashionable and elegant on all women with different shapes and sizes. Above all they are easy to wear. Skirt are one of the fierce and fabulous fashion items that never ran out of fashion style and keep on returning every seasons especially during summer.


Here are some cool tips on wearing Skirt:

Know what style of skirt is correct for your age, because it look ridiculous seeing a woman wearing something that is inappropriate to her age.

1. Draw attention to your Legs.
Not all of us a re blessed with perfect legs with skinny and long. If you have some bruises, blemishes, stretchmarks or ingrown hair you can simply wear sheer or opaque tights, leggings or stockings to cover them. If you don't want to wear stockings, blend some sheer highlighting powder or lotion up the front of your legs.

2. To look Curvier
A fitted knee length pencil cut will look great and sophisticated. It is an item that every women should have on her closet. Whether you dress it up, or go for something more casual, pencil skirts can be very figure flattering if worn and accessorized properly
3. When wearing a long Skirt
When selecting a long skirt, choose one that's straight at the hips but flares slightly towards the bottom. Don't go with ultra high heels with a long skirt because high heels tend to throw the proportion of the outfit. Look for straighter skirts that hug your body for a more slimming effect. Pair a dressy fabric with a plain ralph lauren T-shirt for a fresh, yet unexpected, twist.

4. Wearing a Skirt with Tank or T-shirt
A skirt is always functional and versatile! It would look great with a tank top and heels at a party because it provides the look on how it can be worn casually. Whether your favorite v-neck -plain or printed shirt or tank is tuck on your skirt, throw on a long sweater, and slip into some flats for a look that is comfortable, yet totally chic.

5. Fancy Skirt for a Party
A ruffled trim creates an stunning party dress silhouette. The more volume the better.

And the most important thing function & fashion are not neglected.

Pull it down low on your forehead and wear it with contentedly and with conviction. Always, make sure that your hat balance to your shoulders and the rest of your body and if you are a small woman avoid wearing a larger hats.

Try severals color and select the color that flatters your skin tone because it is the easy way to brigthen your face without wearing any make up. A white hat is stunning and you can wear it with a sassy little feather, and accessorized with a turquoise or onyx.

FAME & Fashion

When we speak and think about fashion immediately the first thing that comes in our mind are fashion designers and clothes etc. Fashion designers are considered as a celebrities and they tried to become a celebrities because of fame that attached on their names. Therefore, if you want to digg fortune and wanted fame you have to be a designer first because once you reach fame - you are an instant celebrity as well. However, we all know that many are called but few are chosen. Many tried to be a designer but we all know that very few designers are actually reach the glory in the status of being "Fortunate", "Famous" & "celebrity". Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, Yves Saint Laurent and many more are one of the few designers who develop their brand name and reach their stardom because of their popular fashion designers brand.
Although, we claimed that designers are among on the celebrity status but still they get famous celebrities and models or any well known personalities to promote new brands.

How to be Fashionable?

Fashion is about You. Oftentimes we heard and read the word fashion, runway, trends, couture, essembles in any well off magazine such as Vogue, etc. However, we lack of understanding the meaning of this word. The word "Fashion" we are not only talking the designers such as Prada and Miu Miu, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacob, Louis Vuitton and so forth. But fashion is an art form. It is a method of utilizing clothing, accessories and hair sometimes to show or to disguise your true identity. Fashion is always changing, slightly elusive, extremely seductive.It has the power to transform an image and make a social statement.

Each of us can be stylish and fashionable in our own way. Stop being freak by trying to follow all the models on the magazine for the new trends accessories and clothes. If we believe in ourselves we can look far better than we ever thought by the simple collections of our designer clothes and accessories. Start by trying not to dress a lousy everyday. It's okay to have an occasional lazy day by just wearing a jeans or a sweatpants and a sweatshirt but please don't do it everyday because it doesn't portray a tasteful image. When shopping for clothes a general rule of thumb is to keep colors varied. Don't over do it. If you don't have an idea read some fashion blogs & magazine like Vogue because it is a powerful and best-respected fashion magazine in the world for decades and Elle as well but mostly it is more trendy than fashionable, always keep in mind to create your own design and learn how to mix and match.
Sometimes to look more chic we need to forget about the brands. Keep in mind that they are so many designers than Prada, Marc Jacob, Polo Ralph Lauren, Chanel. Stop labeling yourself by the signature clothing you are wearing because people don't care if you are wearing a branded dress or not. Above all respect the fashion and style of other. Don't be conceited if you see other are just following the flow of the crowd. Despite the fact that it's the retro revolt, we can actually pick a piece of an eye catching clothing to get a little attention without looking like you jumped out of an 80's disco!
