Look Your Best in a Strapless Dress
Looking Great in a Strapless Dress
A proper, quality-infused strapless dress retains an hourglass shape even on the hanger. Your natural shape should simply reinforce the construction of the strapless dress. Small-busted women find strapless easier because they don't need serious undergarments. Women with wide shoulders should avoid this look all together, as it brings too much attention to the shoulders.
Always wear a bra with a strapless dress. Even if a dress has plenty of infrastructure, too much exposure could be a possibility. If your depending on the dress alone to provide you with support, that can be risky. Try wearing a push-up bra with plenty of room (you might even have to go up a cup size).
Make sure the dress fits well. When trying on a strapless dress, check for slippage. While in the dressing room, raise your arms and bend over to make sure you don't fall out. Sit down to test for comfort (boning can jab you under the arms). Scrutinize your rear view as well: An ill-fitting bodice can pinch the skin, causing bulges at the back and sides.
Accessorize your strapless dress by wearing a shoulder wrap or shawl. If your attending a conservative event, an elegant shawl or wrap would be very appropriate. You can also opt to wear a fashionable cardigan or designer blazer with a strapless dress to complete your look and keep the chill off.
Now that you know how to look your best and what to look for in a strapless dress, let's see what's available for the 2009 fashion season.

What Do You Think of a Strapless Dress?

Lots of pretty dresses! I love the look of a strapless dress but I've probably only owned two in my entire lifetime. Strapless bras take some getting used to.

Beautiful dresses. I think finding the right bra is probably the hardest part - other than the dress itself that is.
