Evening wear
How to buy an evening dress (in 4 stappen)
A beautiful evening gown can look any number of ways: long or short, super festive or demure; anything goes. As long as your gown is elegant and feminine, you can wear any dress you like. Tips for buying an evening dress:
Step 1: Inform after the location
Before you decide on what to wear you could best informeren after the location of the party. Will it be indoors or outdoors? Will you have to walk far from the parking lot or can you get out of the car in front of tha party location. Adjust your choice of outfit and shoes to those variables.
Step 2: Determine what you want
Leaf through a bunch of fashion magazines, take a look at loads of celebrity dresses on the internet and surf to assepoesterfeestkleding.nl for a bit to check out pictures of evening dresses. What would you most like to wear? Would you like a coloured evening dress? A long dress? Or rather a short one? And take a minute to think about accessories! Take a long and critical look at your own body (it is hard, we know!) and determine what your good and weak points are. Would you like a cleavage to emphasize your beautiful breasts, or would you rather have an A-line dress to hide the love handles? Take your pick!
Step 3: Determine what your budget is
Usually an evening dress is not such a large investment as a wedding dress. But of course, evening dresses come in all shapes and sizes (from completely over the top to affordable). In order to not make you feel guilty afterwards because you feel you have bought a very expensive evening dress, you can determine your budget beforehand. Work out what your minimum price and also what the maximum is you want to spend on this gala. That way, it is easier to find your ideal dress amongst heaps of dresses.
Step 4: Shopping trip
If you don't want to have to rush through the town in frustration and then come home empty-handed, it might be a good idea to determine first which shops you want to visit. Fitting formal evening dresses may take a little more time than fitting several Hennes clothes. That is why you should choose a shop where you get great help and where you feel at ease.
The kinds of stores you can go to:
1. Vintage or mom's sewing table
You can put your faith in your mom is she can sow as well as the candidates from Project Catwalk. And if she knows your taste like no other. If you do not look at fashion the same, do not set her the task. Ladies with a feel for vintage could go and look around at the Waterlooplein, de Noordermarkt or on Marktplaats.nl. We have to admit, if you find something here, it will be a bargain.
2. Well-known evening wear shops
Many well-known shops in the field of (formal) evening wear use dresses with an oder number. The annoying thing about this system is that you are not dressed as uniquely as you may have wanted, because this way there are many identical evening dresses. You stand the chance of encountering someone at the gala wearing the same evening dress: pure horror in the eye of every fashion lover.
3. Local couture
You can also get your formal evening dress from the local couturier. He or she will do a great job, as long as you like what they have in store, but remember: this will cost you dearly.
4. The Super gods
And then there are the Super gods: the absolute heroes of the fashion world. because who wouldn't want to wear a genuineValentino, Prada or Gucci? You have to have saved a small fortune for these, but you will have the real deal. If a great look alike for far less money will do for you, then come and pay a visit to Assepoester Feestkleding.
