mydresses (Part 1)

Hey there, readers!
I know there's been some talk about the upcoming formal this year and such so I have decided to show you guys some of the different styles of dresses that you might want to wear or use as inspiration.

I do not know where you can get these dresses, I'm only showing you their designs and colours.

Pease do enjoy ^^

Chiffon

Chiffon, from the French word for a cloth or rag, is a lightweight, balanced plain-woven sheer fabric woven of alternate S- and Z-twist crepe (high-twist) yarns. The twist in the crepe yarns puckers the fabric slightly in both directions after weaving, giving it some stretch and a slightly rough feel.
Chiffon can be made from cotton, silk or synthetic fibers, but is usually associated with silk or nylon. Chiffon can be dyed to almost any shade desired, however if made from polyester it is difficult to dye. Under a magnifying glass it resembles a fine net or mesh which allows chiffon to have see-through properties.
Chiffon is most commonly used in evening wear, especially as an overlay, giving an elegant and floating appearance to the gown.

(Thank you Wikipedia...LOL)

Let's get started, shall we?

This is a hot pink chiffon cocktail dress and it's absolutely gorgeous. Whoever turns up in a dress like this will be just amazing.

Both lining and overlay are edged in swirls of petal-like piping creating a fullness to the knee-length skirt. The ruching on the bodice completes this glamorous number.

I personally love this dress ^^

This is a black classic sleeveless chiffon dress, perfect for a night out or a small party. It can be worn with shiny leggings and a long gray cardigan for work, or bare those sexy legs with patent leather pumps for a night out.
This dress is a great wardrobe staple, it's fully lined with ruching along the bodice and matching self belt.

Isn't it cute?

I introduce to you a Jonathan Martin Strapless Chiffon Dress. Ideal for small parties and special occassions. Features a black satin bow at empire waistline with purple rhinestone embellishment along front and top of bodice.

So pretty ^^

This next dress is a Maggy London Beaded Silk Chiffon Dress (in regal).

Goldtone embroidery and sequins emphasize the deep V-neck, inset waist and hem of a surplice-bodice dress with gathered skirt.

I think it would be great just for going out with friends or everyday wearing. It's so pretty ^^

The latest trend on the Red Carpet is the backless dress. Backless, ballerina look and in season’s spirit colours. It’s a Zac Posen olive backless chiffon dress with bust support and a layered skirt.

Wow....it's so perfect with all the ruffles and layers.

Giambattista Valli , Strapless long chiffon dress

There wasn't any information on this dress...sorry. But don't you think it's royal? Wearing it to a ball would make you feel like a real princess.

Simple orange chiffon dress

No information on this either. However, I think it would be a great outdoors dress. Compliment it with a wide brimmed hat such as this

and some gladiator sandals and you would look great for a spring effect. Absolutely cute.

Now this dress is...wow. This is a Cassini Silk Chiffon Gown by Oleg.The lace empire waist in contrasting color and the way it flows on the bottom could easily make a beautiful dress for a formal or wedding. Outshine the bride LOL

I hope you've enjoyed this post and thought of some ideas for your next dress, whatever the occasion. I'll be back next time with another one on lace and ruffles. Look forward to it!
