5 Tips for choosing the best party dress for Christmas
- January 8, 2021
The time has come to celebrate Christmas and we want to wear a party dress that is special, but at the same time, we consider how to choose the best option without making mistakes.
Javier Barrio, Haute Couture designer, gives you some keys (five in particular) so that you do not make mistakes in this special purchase and with this acquisition you can have a jewel in your dressing room that will become, not only your Christmas design, but in a creation that you can wear successfully on more than one occasion.
That said, the five keys are…
Type of fabric
You should select the fabric for your prom dress according to your own style. Not all fabrics favor everyone, nor do all figures wear fabrics in the same way.
Without a doubt, the first question you must solve is:
“What type of fabric do I want for my party dress?”
A long party dress covered in sequins, mermaid type, is not the same as a tulle with ostrich feathers. Each woman has her own style and the fabrics also say a lot about each person.
⇒ Tulle
Tulle is a fabric widely used to design Christmas dresses. It is made of silk cotton, it is a widely used fabric because it is vaporous and very very flattering, it gives a sensual touch to all designs.
Javier Barrio uses tulle a lot to embroider on sequined designs, turning these garments into Haute Couture designs.
These types of dresses are very sensual and favor all types of women and silhouettes.
⇒ Gauze
Chiffon is another fabric that is widely used in party dresses. It is a very fine, transparent fabric, made of silk, has a very loose drape and is ideal for playing with layers. It is ideal for slim silhouettes.
⇒ Lace
Lace is another of the fabrics used in party dresses. It is a spectacular fabric especially to mix with other materials and favors all women.
⇒ Natural silk (satin)
And finally, natural silk satin, which is a very shiny fabric. In case the fabric is thin, it must be taken into account that it marks the figure a lot for those who like to go unnoticed.
In the post about the types of haute couture fabric that Javier Barrio uses in his designs, you can get more information and answer all your doubts.
Party time
It is necessary to know that a long Haute Couture dress is suitable for evening parties, day weddings (in the case of being bridesmaids) or any other special celebration.
Short party dresses are ideal to wear day and night.
It is another of the points that you must take into account to be successful when choosing a party dress for a celebration.
Therefore, if your Christmas event is held at noon, your dress should differ from what you can wear at a New Year’s Eve party.
Place of the event
You will also be right if you know the place of the celebration. An event in a castle, hotel or city is not the same as a great Christmas party and celebration in a Cortijo in the Sierra de Jaén.
Silhouette type
As you well know, there are five types of female body:
- Triangular
- Inverted triangle
- Rectangular
- Oval
- Hourglass
⇒ Triangular
For a triangular shaped body, it is advisable to wear a dress that provides all its prominence at the top. If you have an extra kilo, choose a flared dress and flowy fabric that does not cling to the hips.
⇒ Inverted triangle
In the case of an inverted triangle silhouette, we will look for the prominence in the lower part of the dress, leaving the upper area simpler.
⇒ Rectangular
For a rectangular body, we will seek to enhance the waist or choose straight dresses. In these silhouettes, natural silk dresses favor a lot.
⇒ Oval
For an oval silhouette, we will try to hide the parts of the body that may be somewhat more disproportionate.
⇒ Hourglass
And finally, for an hourglass body, congratulations! We do not have any special recommendation: they have the perfect silhouette, any design by Javier Barrio will look great.
Jewels to wear that day
Big Christmas celebrations and parties are the perfect setting to show off great jewelry. For this reason, you should look for and select a jewel that works in harmony with your party dress. My recommendations are the following:
Necklace: You should only wear a large necklace if the party dress you will wear has a generous neckline, in this way, you can wear both pieces.
Bracelet: Use them only if the design of your dress does not have long sleeves.
In many cases, when creating Haute Couture designs that are combined with jewelry, designers are mainly inspired by these two pieces to create the design of the dress.
