When to wear a white gown when you are not a bride

Hi everyone,

And no, this is not yet another post of me rambling about
wedding or my 10^th wedding anniversary that I have to wait for 2
more long years. Although today’s gown is very bridal, I will however focus on when you could wear such an elegant white gown. Definitely appropriate
for White tie, black tie parties or a black and white affair. End of the year,
is one the rare occasions that, if you are lucky, you may receive an invitation
to attend a black and white affair. So today I am sharing a few tips on how to
rock such event.

If you get invited to a black and white event, honor the black and white theme by wearing what the invitation states. It would be disrespectful to show up in a red, purple or pink ensemble, and the host might remove you from the next party guest list. So you can wear either black or white. Here’s a few tips to make a statement:

Don’t wear any color other than black or white including handbags and shoes.

This also include jewelry. You should stick to the classic diamond and pearl jewelry that are perfect for a black and white event. If you don’t have real pearls and diamonds, you can wear faux jewelry.

Select attire from more sophisticated and glamorous materials, such as silk or satin. Cotton and cotton blends are better put aside for a garden party while beading and rhinestone embellishment provide all the glitter a woman needs, as long as it doesn’t overwhelm the dress (the featured dress here is perfect example).

Evening gown styling should flatter your best feature. For example, if you have beautiful shoulders, you may want to wear a strapless or off-shoulder gown. If your legs are your best feature, raise the neckline and show off some leg with a slit up the side.
