Haven’t worn a dress in a while and you need one for Friday night’s dinner date? Don’t stress
with a little help and a plan
you can find that perfect dress for Friday night. Here’s how:

Find out where you’ll be going. Is it formal
semi-formal
casual
or grunge? You don’t want to show up in a formal dress to find out he’s taking you to the beach for a nice romantic dinner!

Now decide on the type of dress. It’s important to choose a dress that flatters your figure. Not every dress works for all body types. The most flattering dresses are those with darker colors and simple cut. You want to show off best features and play them up.

Now choose a color. You could wear black
but why not explore some of the other dressy options? Bright colors and bold prints are dramatic. Pastels
mid-range brights and soft prints are great for dressy day occasions. Blues
pinks and whites look great on almost anyone.

Now it’s time to coordinate the color and type with the style. There are literally thousands of different styles of dresses. Try on many
even the ones you don’t like on the hangers. Some dresses look awful on the hanger but great on a body! You’ll never know until you try one on.

For special evening occasions
choose a cocktail dress. This is where the classic “little black dress” fits in.

For a picnic on the beach
try a sexy little spaghetti strap dress.

You should definitely set a budget before shopping because it’s easy to fall in love with a $500 dress and then try to justify it!

Usually special occasion dresses cost more than casual dresses. If you comparison shop
you can find one that works in your price range.

Now that you have the perfect dress
you’ll need to do some accessorizing. The trimmings will take their cue from the dress and the occasion. Don’t add a ton of glitz
you’ll overwhelm your outfit. Sparkly brooches and pins are great ways to add special pizzazz to your outfit.
