How do I decide which gown to go with?
When you have finally decided on a store, be prepared to feel overwhelmed with the plethora of gowns. Most evening gown stores will have a wide selection of gowns for every and any occasion. Deciding on which gown to go with will definitely be tough.
To help you decide on which gown to go with, here are some factors to consider to help you narrow down your options. Concurrently, communicating these factors to the store’s stylist will allow them to provide appropriate gown recommendations for you.
Occasion or event theme
Are you going for a black-tie event? Or perhaps dressing up for your best friend’s wedding dinner? Your evening gown options will largely depend on the occasion or theme of the event that you are attending.
A formal event dress code largely includes the following three categories: white tie, black tie, and black tie (optional).
Understanding the right dress code for each of these formal event dress code categories will help you to decide on an appropriate evening gown.
For white tie events for instance, women are expected to wear floor-length evening gowns in dark colours as this is the most formal dress code. Black tie events, on the other hand, require women to wear dressy cocktail dresses or classic floor-length dresses.
Location of event
Will the event that you are attending be held outdoors? Or will it be held indoors?
If it is the former, you may want to opt for gowns that are made of lighter fabrics such as chiffon or lace. Given Singapore’s hot and humid weather, it is better to go with light and breathable gown fabrics so that you do not end up with unsightly sweat patches on your gown.
If the event is held indoors, chances are that the air conditioning will be on full blast to make up for the humid weather. In such instances, it may be helpful to bring along a classy shawl or even a cardigan to wrap around your shoulders and arms.
Gown colour
Find out if there are any colour themes to the event that you are attending. This will help you to better decide on your gown colour.
For instance, if it is a wedding dinner, you may want to avoid wearing white (that is reserved for the bride) or a colour that is similar to that of her bridesmaids.
However if there is no indicated theme for the event, it would be ideal to stick with safe colour options that complement your skin tone.
Your budget
The price range of evening gowns can vary greatly, ranging from an affordable two-digit figure to the thousands. Before you start your shopping spree, it would be wise to have a budget in mind.
Consider scenarios such as whether you have future opportunities to wear the gown again or if you are able to properly take care of your expensive evening gowns.
Having a budget in mind will help you to narrow down your options while you are shopping for your evening gown.
Body shape
Understanding your body shape will facilitate the process of you finding the ideal evening gown. For best results, you should find an evening gown that complements your best features, while camouflaging the less desirable aspects of your body.
Taking care of your evening gowns
With the amount of money that you have spent on your evening gown, you will need to ensure that it is well taken care of else you may not be able to wear them again after some time.
However, there is no denying that these dresses may be difficult to wash and clean, particularly if you have gotten a nasty and hard-to-rid stain on them.
Here are some gown maintenance tips to ensure that your evening gowns last a longer time.
Proper storage
Where you decide to store your evening gown is super important. Ideally, evening gowns should be stored in a good fabric bag that will allow your gown’s fabric to breath. The fabric bag should also be spacious enough so the dress can receive some fresh air.
Avoid folding your evening gown as you would want to minimise creases and lines so that you do not have to iron your dress. If it is hanging in your closet, do ensure that the dress hem is not touching the ground.
Clean stains immediately
Once you see any stain on your evening gown, ensure that you clean it immediately. You should also be extremely careful and not rub at the stain as this may spread the damage further to other parts of the dress, ruining the entire dress in the end.
When you are wearing your dress, it is helpful to also keep a cleaning solution in handy so that you can immediately clean any form of stains quickly and correctly.
Keep away from light
It is advisable to keep your evening gowns away from sunlight or any forms of light. Prolonged exposure of your evening gowns to light may result in discolouration over time. The last thing that you want is to ruin the beautiful shade of colour of your evening gown.
Send to professional cleaners
Finally, if you have any doubts on how to clean your evening gowns, do send them to professional cleaners. These professional cleaners typically have the right equipment and cleaning techniques to properly clean your evening gown, allowing your gown to last longer.
