It is Christmas at last, and that means the festive party season is now upon us. If you want to be the belle of the ball and you have had your own dress or outfits specially made but want to avoid making any (more!) couture mistakes, read on!
Get those measurements right
Getting the measurements correct is one of the foundations of perfecting your couture outfit. Having the wrong measurements will mean alterations need to be made later, and these can be costly and time-consuming.
Choose the right fabric
Choosing the ideal fabric for your outfit can be difficult; you want to make sure your dress is on trend, and the fabric should also feel comfortable against your skin when you are wearing it or you won’t enjoy whatever parties you attend. You also need to ensure the colour scheme is attractive on your skin and that you have the right shoes and accessories to enhance the particular hue you have chosen.
Accessories should not be overlooked
Accessories can make or break an outfit. Make sure you choose the right ones and always err on the side of elegant rather than bling-y or tacky unless you’re not afraid of turning heads for the wrong reasons. Earrings can be subtle or make a statement, depending on the other accessories you choose. You should try to decide in advance which shoes, purse and jewellery to pair with your gorgeous couture!
Wardrobe malfunctions
Depending on the style of your outfit, wardrobe or underwear malfunctions are always a possibility. These are something any woman wants to avoid. To prevent any bra-related wardrobe mishaps, be sure to invest in some really good underwear and some well-fitting bras that provide you with plenty of support. Consult a good bra-fitting guide to make sure you are opting for the right sizes. You can also try to find pieces that match your outfit right down to the colour. For example, Prima Donna bras come in a variety of colourful hues. There is a full range of prima-donna bras at Orchidlingerie and other outlets so you can find exactly the bra you need to be comfortable yet stylish.
Now that you know which party season couture mistakes to avoid, it’s time to put together your perfect outfits and dazzle!
