Measure your height before you go looking for a dress
It’s important to get your body measurements if you want to wear something form-fitting such as a dress. These measurements will help you pick out the right dress if you’re buying online, but it can also help staff pick a suitable dress for you if you’re planning to ask for help in a store.
There are a couple of measurements that you should take to help you get a great fit. These are your bust, your waist, your hips, and also your neck. You might also want to measure your shoulder and bust spread if you want something more form-fitting. If the dress you plan to wear goes far down your legs, then you may also want to measure your lower body too.
Once you have these measurements, you’ll find it much easier to buy a dress that fits you and also easier to get recommendations on the types of dresses you could wear based on your sizes.
Look for seasonal dresses and keep a variety at home
Dresses can look widely different on a season-by-season basis. Make sure you look at summer dresses if you’re planning to dress up for warm weather and consider warm winter dresses that can be worn with several layers underneath to keep you warm. Wearing a dress according to the season can help improve your confidence and you won’t feel out of place.
If you plan to wear dresses every season then make sure you keep a few in your wardrobe. Pack them correctly when you’re not using them to ensure they don’t get damaged, and keep a variety at home so you have something new and unique to wear every day.
Learn to accessorize your dress with different items
When it comes to accessorizing a dress, there are countless different things that you can do to make it stand out more. You could try adding jewellery, matching colors or even wear it with a scarf for a unique appearance. The goal here is to experiment with different things to uplift your dress and make it more personalized.
This is also a great way to take a basic dress and make it a lot more interesting and unique. You can transform single-color dresses to look amazing if you have the right accessories and use them in different combinations. It’s also a great way to change the accents of a dress if you wear it fairly often.
