Plus Sized Prom GownsSubmitted By: Rich Rojas  

For plus size teens, finding a plus sized prom gown that you would consider being seen in at department stores and boutiques can be quite a challenge. This is because most plus size selections in shopping malls are geared towards middle-aged women, and have an extremely small selection of clothes for plus size teens.

So, what?s a girl to do?

Shop online, of course!

More and more online clothing retailers are catering to the needs of plus size women and teenagers. Prom gowns are no exception. If you?ve never bought clothing online, be prepared to be amazed! There is a huge selection of cool clothing available, and many retailers offer plus sized prom gowns. In fact, some even specialize in plus size formal wear and prom gowns for young women.

No more finding a great dress, only to see that it only goes up to size 12. No more digging through the rack, only to find that the size you need isn?t in stock. Let?s face it, shopping at traditional stores can be really hard if you?re a plus sized teenager looking for a plus sized prom dress.

Online plus size clothing retailers specialize in clothing that?s sized and styled for your curves. That means no mores saggy straps or gaping necklines. Most importantly, all the sizes are available, all the time. This is a huge step above traditional brick and mortar boutiques, which generally only order one dress in each size. If someone gets it before you, you?re out of luck!

Shopping online avoids this issue completely.

Before you pick out a dress, take the time to measure yourself. Most online stores have a sizing guide, which will enable you to find the size that matches your bust, hip, and waist measurements. It is absolutely essential to do this, as sizes can run differently between designers. Save yourself time shipping returns back and forth -- measure, then order. Taking the time to measure yourself will really help as you move online from store to store.

Online plus size clothing sites offer a great selection of modern styles for plus sized teenagers. These aren?t your mother?s fashions! They have a youthful flare and follow the latest fashion trends. If you?ve never shopped online plus size clothing stores, then you?ll be pleasantly surprised at the stunning plus size formal options these sites have to offer you.

As you pick out your plus sized prom gown, it?s also important to buy the correct undergarments to wear with it. If you choose a strapless or halter dress, for example, you may need to also buy a strapless or convertible bra to ensure it fits correctly. When you receive your dress in the mail, be sure to try it on with the underwear you?ve purchased to make sure that nothing gaps or shows. You want to spend your special evening dancing and having fun, not fiddling with a bra that doesn?t fit right!

So, take time to measure yourself, and then spend some time online checking out plus sized prom gowns. This will save you loads of trouble and frustration going to the mall, where you?ll struggle to find anything you like anyway. Your time can be much better spent picking out the perfect prom night accessories!

Basics That You Should Know About Prom Dresses

Fluffy, balloon-type, or layered long gowns coupled with hand gloves is included in the conventional prom dresses. Yet today, a line of formal, flair, elegantly designed long and short gowns are included in prom dresses. Styles like spaghetti strapped-styled, with plunging necklines, strapless, high-necked, cap- or short-sleeved, v-necked, square-necked, ornate, simple, and vintage can project the real you. There are those prom dresses which can truly convey your being sweet, sexy, innocent, seductive, frank, or your being straight-forward.

Prom Dresses Pointers

There are major points to consider. First, treat your prom dress with due importance. It?s the same with wedding gown where detail should be taken into considerations.

Whether tailor-made or you buy it from a mall, it is necessary to decide on your prom dress? fabric, shade, length, size, design, style, as well as the accessories and shoes to go along with it.

Everyone claims that size matters. The measurement for the waist, the bust and the hips must be given careful attention. Focus on every single detail of your prom dress.

Prom Dress Accessories

Christmas tree without decorations is just like a prom dress without accessories. It is dull-looking, bare, and displeasing to look at. But an over decorated prom dress seems to be distracting as well. Be moderate in every way from the jewelry to the hairstyle up to the hair accessories.

The jewelry must suit you and your prom dress. It must match the shape of your face, your skin tone, and the color of your prom dress. It?s best to settle for pearls as they can really look beautiful on almost anything.

Pearl cuff bracelets, pearl ring, pearl earrings, or diamond pendant in a necklace and diamond dangling earrings will surely stand out for spaghetti strapped prom dress style. The cap-or short-sleeved prom dress can be accented with some thin bracelets.

Same stone of earrings and bracelet in place of a wrist corsage is best for high-necked prom dress style. For a square-necked prom dress style, a beautiful necklace can go along with it. For v-shaped prom dresses, a set of pearl or diamond necklace and earrings will work. While for plunging prom dresses, keep your earrings simple and use a brooch on the neckline instead of a long necklace.

Prom Dress Hairstyle

One factor that will complement the design, accessories, and style of your prom dress is your hairstyle. Hairstyle can show off how beautiful your earrings and necklace are. Some simple hair accessories can also handle the fashion statement your project.

To become a real standout, you must consider the abovementioned pointers. This night is a once in a lifetime event so concert all your efforts as possible. Do your level best.

Bras Men Like

What bras do men want to see you in?

I asked my guy.

He said a bra that is easy to take off. Bras that look like lingerie. Black bras. I wasn't satisfied with the answer.

I gave him the unenviable job of going through lingerie catalogs to tell me which bras he finds sexiest.

The verdict.

Strapless bras. A huge surprise to me as I thought these were purely functional. Worn to avoid tiresome straps under tube tops, off shoulder tops or strapless outfits.

His rationale. He just finds strapless bras very sexy. A huge turn on. The simplicity catches his eye. No messy strings. Bare shoulders which he simply loves. Most importantly, they look really easy to take off.

Next in line is the lace bra. That is because lace bras are very beautiful. That I agree with him. Lace bras are very pretty.

In 3rd place is the push up bra.

This one is obvious. Push up bras make your breasts look much bigger. These padded bras add inches to your bustline. The Gel filled bras really boost a girl's assets. A way to get that cleavage without resorting to surgery.

He was saying for girls who really want to turn on the men, go for these 3 types of bras. These are the ones that leave men wanting more.

I do know the kind of bras he simply hates. The fussy types with multiple hooks, the cotton granny type of bra with thick ugly straps that are popular only because of comfort and anything that makes breasts look smaller. In other words, don't waste your time with minimizer bras.

So if you want to dress for your men, what you wear underneath counts too.

Choosing a Comfortable Yet Flattering Bra

Choosing a Comfortable Yet Flattering Bra

 by: Wendy Yeager

Todays bra is not only designed to make you feel pretty and sexy, they are designed for comfort and practicality.

You can choose from an underwire bra for support or a bra without underwire. Need some help with adding a little extra to your bustline? Then choose a padded bra or a push up bra. Maybe youre lucky enough to have a little extra natural padding already. You could then choose from a minimizer bra.

Not shy and would like to show off your bustline? Try a bra that will show a little cleavage. You could even try an adhesive bra which can be adjusted so it wont show under any neckline.

Todays new fashions sometimes call for a bra with special straps. You could try an adjustable bra with straps which can be worn far out on the shoulders or removed to be used as a strapless bra. Maybe you like to wear halter tops. So, try a halter bra.

Of course sometimes you just want a bra to make you feel pretty. There are a wide variety of colors to choose: pink, lavender, white, black, red, etc. Also, why not try a bra with lace trim or ones made of silk or satin?

Most importantly, wear the bra that makes you feel most comfortable.

Time To Start Looking For A Maternity Swimsuit

 



Time To Start Looking For A Maternity SwimsuitSubmitted By: Amy Jarman  

Swimsuit season is fast approaching and with Spring Break coming up many expecting moms may find themselves heading to some warm beaches for vacation destinations. Whether you are headed to sunny beach destination or just signing up for a water aerobics class, there is a good chance you will need a maternity swimsuit at some point in your pregnancy. There is also a good chance that you will not, and should not, try to fit into your pre-pregnancy swimsuit. Fortunately there are a lot of cute styles on the market to choose from in maternity swimwear. Here are a few ideas:

Halterkinis and Tankinis and are wonderful alternative to a solid one-piece or an all out bare all bikini (which most of us don?t have the guts to wear when expecting ? or otherwise!). The Halterkini and Tankini or some other word derivative with more or less the same meaning is a 2 piece suit with either an adjustable halter tie top or tank style straps and a belly skimming top. Bottoms are usually below the belly and sometimes have adjustable side ties ? which is good if your hips seem to be growing at the rate of your belly during your pregnancy! The Halter and Tankinis usually come in a wide variety of solids and patterns. Sometimes the bottoms are a solid with the top a pattern which gives a cute accent. Both of these styles of maternity swimwear allow you to be a bit flirtatious and stylish while not flashing a big pregnant belly to the world if that?s not your thing.

The Babydoll style is an even more modest yet fashionable style to choose from if you want full belly coverage and more bottom and hip coverage too. Prego Maternity Swimwear has both a Tank BabyDoll and Halter BabyDoll styles that come in a wide array of colors and patterns. Both of these styles provide maximum bust support and have high fitting bottoms that fully cover your belly and a dress style top that covers your bottom too without looking prudish.

If you are looking for flattering tummy coverage in a pool lounge maternity swimsuit, then the Strapless Mini is a good option. The mini comes in a variety of solids and patterns and often has a removable halter string for a little extra protection if you do decide to brave the waves or swim a few laps. The mini often gives more bottom coverage with the top and has separate bottoms.

If you do need a good solid one piece maternity swimsuit, The Prego Empire Tank gives amazing bust support and a real sports fit while still allowing plenty of belly stretch. If you are looking for a cute pattern in a one-piece, the Maternal America Halter Keyhole Swimsuit has come back this season in a super cute Turquoise pattern as well as in the bestselling black and brown solids. The Keyhole Swimsuit is an excellent hybrid of a fashion swimsuit with a flattering look which you can wear to swim.

Finally if you are brave enough and fit enough to wear a bikini when pregnant, you must invest in a maternity bikini because nothing else will fit completely right. Maternity bikinis have adjustable tie halters with a good amount of support and little extra room in the bust. The bottoms are stretchier than a non-pregnancy suit.

So whatever your maternity swimwear personality, there is a flattering style out there for you and probably in your choice of color or pattern. Most maternity swimsuits are made with plenty of spandex to take you through your entire pregnancy. Padded bras are usually preferable and add a little extra support for maternity swimwear, so check your online product descriptions or call the store if you are shopping online for your purchase. So, have fun in the sun and don?t wait until the last minute to find your perfect suit.

Set a budget.
Knowing how much cash your can drop on a dress before heading out is a huge help. It?s not worth getting into debt for an outfit you may wear just one night?especially since today?s stores sell glam-and-gorgeous gown at every price point. Make sure to include things like tax and alterations in your budget.

Accentuate your assets.
Most of use have body parts we love those we, well, don?t. Don?t dwell on the negative; instead, think about showing what you like most. Got great arms? Go sleeveless. Shapely shoulders? Strapless. Carved calves? Go short. You get the point.

The gown is a pretty important part of prom?in it, you?ll be gorgeous, glam and ready to go. Get the dress of your dreams with these top tips.

Don?t shop in big groups.
It may sound fun to shop with a pack of your best buddies, but it can get overwhelming and competitive when everyone?s grabbing for the same gown. Plus, either your pals will be too distracted to help you choose what looks best or you?ll get so many opinions you?ll be completely confused.

Take a few different bras with you?like strapless, halter and racer back?so you can really see how a dress with hang on your body. Also bring a pair of heels and any jewelry you dying to wear to get a more complete picture of how your outfit will actually look.

Bring a digital camera or Polaroid on your shopping trip so you can take pictures of yourself in dresses you like and compare contenders later. You can also have friends or relatives peruse the pics to help you decide.

If you love it, buy it.
Or at least ask the store to put it on hold so you don?t run the risk of someone else dancing in your gown. But don?t settle for so-so; you should feel absolutely fabulous on prom night so stick with the search until your find your perfect dress.

Here Comes The Spring Bride

While the calendar may have just been turned to 2007, brides have already been influencing 2007 wedding jewelry trends with their choice of engagement rings. Fulfilling that traditional saying of 'something old, something new', spring brides have been selecting vintage styled rings to adorn their ring finger. These square or rectangle-cut diamonds are accented in a pav? setting and may be complemented by a pav?-set band. Popular cuts in the early twentieth century included the Old Mine cut, which is square with gently rounded corners, the Cushion cut, which is rectangular with rounded corners, and the Asscher cut, which is an emerald cut with clipped corners to create an octagon shape. These cuts are all designed to show off the stone by drawing attention into it. The cut known as Old European is similar except that the stone will be round. Often yellow diamonds, sapphires or other colored gems are seen in this cut.

While the ring on her finger may have been influenced by vintage styling, the other jewelry the bride chooses to wear will certainly not be taking a back seat. The 2007 spring bridal jewelry look can best be summarized as big and bold. Many wedding gowns are strapless and understated; therefore the jewelry a bride chooses to wear will define her look. A large cuff bracelet, long chandelier earrings, or a cascading pendant can be just the accent needed.

The one jewelry item that is definitely a 2007 look is the chandelier earring. Whether they are large and bold, or sleek and shoulder-skimming, chandelier earrings worn with a swept-up hairdo are the ideal answer for the bride who wants a dramatic look accenting her face. Chandelier earrings, available in all price ranges, can be found made with diamonds, CZ's, pearls, sterling silver, real gems, or crystals. As long as they move and skim the shoulder, they create glamour!

While the bride may have chosen a vintage-styled engagement ring, she may also choose to compliment her ring with a vintage-styled bracelet. It may even be an antique bracelet that has been in the family for years. As long as it is bold, or accented with large chunky stones, or trending toward the Art Deco look, the bracelet on the bride's wrist can be a focal point of her look. Color is an important part of this bold look and colorful gemstones can coordinate with the color of the attendants' dresses.

Dramatic is the word to describe necklaces or pendants chosen by brides for 2007. Chokers made of several strands of pearls or crystals, cascading necklaces, or large colorful stones in pendants may not be what traditionalists would think of as bridal jewelry, but these are what today's brides are choosing. Pearls continue to be an important bridal choice, but the dainty little strand of pearls has now become a strand of large, chunky pearls often accented with stones or crystals.

Big, bold, vintage, and dramatic are the defining words for 2007 wedding jewelry! Today's bride is not shy about making her taste the focal point of her wedding. She is accustomed to wearing bold jewelry with her everyday wardrobe and is comfortable converting that look to her bridal jewelry. Probably one of the best benefits of wearing these bold looks is that the jewelry chosen for her wedding day will no longer be relegated to a jewelry box never to be worn again.
