Choosing a dress for a party is a daunting task. Considering the different styles and choices which are available in the market, one might find it a challenge to select a dress which would fit the occasion. Traditionally, dresses and other clothing could be found only on the departmental stores. With the advent of modern technology and high usage of internet, it is possible to access the same dresses online. There exist a lot of online sellers, who are ready to expose their products all over the world. The buyers can easily select what they want at the comfort of their sofa, and get the delivery instant. With such services available, it becomes a bit challenging to decide the right choice. Formality of the occasion is the major factor of consideration when it comes to choosing the right choice of a party dress. With that information in the mind, it is therefore advisable to rank your priorities against the kind of party to be held. Stuck to make the decision on the right dress to choose for the party? Relax, Bargain Hunter’s blog will sort you with clear information on what you need to take into consideration. Here are the five tips to guide you on how to choose your party wear.

Dress Code of the Occasion

Formality of the occasion is the primary factor of consideration. Before settling on any wear, it is paramount to understand the kind of occasion you wish to attend. For men, their dressing is a bit rigid. Females have flexible dressing that can be altered to suit the party. The most important thing that you should understand is that formal parties deserves some level of respect. This is whereby the ladies wear have to go beyond the knees, to show some respect. This is the issue of morals which cannot be ignored at any level. However, if the party comprises of age mates, who have closeness of interactions, the choice can be arrived at depending on what they agree on. Men have least complications because any wear can do well with them. A formal party is attended with suits while non-formal gathering can be done with t-shirts and jeans. The color and fabric are also dependent on the type of occasion being attended.

Dress Style and Body Shape

Once body shape is another element of consideration. Before purchasing any wear, it is advisable to know your body shape, which assist in selecting the best. Otherwise, you might end up choosing what is not good for you. This is done in order to accentuate one’s body feature. Five types of body shapes are known. They are; rectangle figure, pear, inverted triangle, apple and hourglass. Men mostly lie under inverted triangle where the shoulders are wider that the lower abdomen. In other words, the center idea is to be able to establish your shape. It will not only help you choose the wear, but also improve your look.

Dress color and skin tone

Determining the undertone of your skin is important in selecting the color of your dress. The individual’s complexion is a lead in choosing what is best for the look. If you want to determine what goes well with you, just try black and white clothes. If you find that you look great with black, then warm undertone are good for your physical appearance. On the other hand, if white, then cool colors are yours. This simple test will enable you not to misjudge in selecting party wears.

Versatility and Cost

Versatility and cost are two factors which should be put into consideration before buying the wear. For example, a black one can be purchased at a higher cost because it can be worn many times without noticing. This is contrary to a green dress, which everyone will notice should it be worn twice. If you are operating on a tight budget, it is advisable to look for a high quality dress, which can accessorize in different ways. It gives the buyer a chance to use it in different occasions without necessarily buying a new one. One occasion should not make you spend more for something that cannot be used again in future.

Accessories

Many people shop for accessories such as shoes, jewelry and others when shopping for clothes. This is essential especially if an individual has enough money. One rule of the thumb is to keep the focus of others at one common point. This means that if the party wear is simple, you can choose something that will attract the attention rather than the wear itself. On the other hand, if the dressing is ornate, you need to use less jewelry. It may be better to choose the wears that goes with existing beauty accessories.

There is nothing that hurts than knowing you are poorly dressed in a party. Take your time and go through the tips of choosing the best party wear.

People often have this misconception that social media influencers and models loves to dress up to the nines whenever they make public appearance, but personally, I like clothes that’s minimalistic and those that make me look prim and proper instead of flamboyant and flashy. When it comes to dressing up, I have always opt for comfort over style despite the fact that I do some part time modeling whenever opportunity arises. And when it comes to accessorizing or wearing jewelleries, I prefer those tiny, delicate ones instead of huge, very colourful ones. There are plenty of jewelers in the market offering that sort of jewelries, but among my top all time favourite is from Thomas Sabo, one of the leading global brand in designing, selling and distributing jewelleries and timepieces. I have a few charms and tiny little bracelets from Thomas Sabo at home in my jewelry box and wears them occassionally when I feel like going for the glamourous look.

My husband probably cannot understand why I buy accessories more than I buy clothes, but here’s the thing; sometimes jewelries remains evergreen and never goes out of fashion. And if you know how to pair them up, they will even make you look as if you are worth a million dollar.

Anyway, I happened to be invited to SkyAvenue Fashion Week 2017: Time to Light Up Jewellery & Timepiece about two weeks back, featuring the latest collections of all the jewellery
and timepiece tenants at SkyAvenue. And much to my delight, one of the brands that’s showcasing their latest collection is Thomas Sabo. I said yes to the invitation of course, and here’s sharing with you some pictures taken during the SkyAvenue Fashion Week 2017: Time to Light Up Jewellery & Timepiece.

Deciding that I did not had enough of the showcasing, I visited Thomas Sabo outlet ar SkyAvenue after the SkyAvenue Fashion Week 2017: Time to Light Up Jewellery & Timepiece fashion show. Here’s sharing with you a video of it.

Thomas Sabo outlet is located at level 3 SkyAvenue. Do look them up should you visit Resorts World Genting. They have plenty of promising jewelries that might just suit your fancy.

I don’t wear hijab on daily basis. I only don hijab if the occasions calls for such dresscode. I do however, have soft spots for beautiful shawls and I usually style them up to pair with my outfits. Shawls are very useful to me, especially when I’m traveling. They not only serve as a fashionable ‘blanket’ whenever I feel cold during those long hours on the bus or on the plane but they make great additions to my limited wardrobe too as I can pair them up with just one plain shirt and yet produces a couple of different looks depending on how you style them. I have plenty of shawls and scarves at home, but a woman can never have enough. I’m constantly on the lookout for pretty shawls to add to my collection and it has come to my attention that a Malaysian artist cum actress, Emma Maembong has launched her shawl collection; My Sketchbook Shawl. Her collections is something worth raving about, I must say.

So what’s unique about her shawl collections? Well, it is common for actors and actresses to come out with their own brand of clothing and use their fame to sell their clothings to their fans but this one’s rather different, as unlike others, the designs of her shawls collections are her very own work of art.

A daughter of a painter and a painter by profession prior to her involvement in the entertainment industry, Emma Maembong has produces plenty of artworks on both paper and canvas but never thought to do it on other materials until her family encourages her to draw it on shawls and turn her drawings and paintings into wearable artwork.

All the shawls in My Sketchbook Shawls collections are also syariah compliance and the length and width of her shawls are more than enough to cover one’s aurah, making her collections a perfect choice for devout Muslims to wear. The shawls are not only stylish, but covers one’s modesty as well.

As a woman, I appreciate all things exquisite and beautiful, especially clothing. I like finely sewn clothes that’s not only comfortable to wear, but also helps me to stand out in the crowd. I’m a huge fan of haute couture, but they’re mostly not very affordable. But here’s one that offers exquisite couture dresses and clothing with reasonable price tag to it; Bianco Mimosa.

Here’s a bit about Bianco Mimosa; It was incorporated on 26 April 2013, with a vision to become one of the most prestigious fashion house in the region. Fast forward to 2017, Bianco Mimosa is now a renown fashion house not only in Malaysia, but highly looked up upon in the international fashion industry as well. Bianco Mimosa’s name originated from Italian language, Bianco means white while Mimosa is a Malaysian ‘Touch Me Not Plant’ (Pokok Semalu). Bianco Mimosa not only emphasizes on exclusive haute couture collections but produced ready to wear collections as well and have been hosting numerous designers from across the globe with designs that uses fabrics that are collected from around the world. Their fabrics are also weaved from scratch to maintain exclusivity.

I’ve had the privilege to get a glimpse of what they had to offer for the first time last year during Malaysia Fashion Week 2016 where they showcased their Neo Gladiator Collection on the runway and I thought Bianco Mimosa offers some quite outstanding designs. You may read about it HERE.

Visiting Bianco Mimosa boutique in Sungai Buloh recently has been quite an eye opening experience as I was personally hosted by Dato’ Ida Suraya Bt. Mustafa, the Managing Director of Bianco Mimosa herself.

Dato’ Ida Suraya Bt. Mustafa was dubbed as the “Iron Lady” because of her active involvement in this sector. Deciding to step out of her comfort zone, Dato’ Ida Suraya Bt. Mustafa wanted to take another challenge in different field, where she found her passion in fashion designing. Yearning to change the world’s views through her creativity, Dato’ Ida Suraya Bt. Mustafa founded Bianco Mimosa in hope to inspire with fashion, beauty and lifestyle throughout Malaysia as well as in Asia Pacific.

In the fashion industry, some would swear by the statement ‘less is more’, and when it comes to modest fashion or Muslim/Muslimah fashion, I couldn’t agree more. Muslim/Muslimah fashion may not be quite popular a few decades back in Malaysia and were even labeled as akward and backward but these days it has very much improved in terms of designs and the style has taken the nation by storm.

There are plenty prominent names in the Muslim/Muslimah fashion. Among all of these big names, one that caught my attention recently is Aura by Noraniza Idris.

Those who are familar with the Malaysian entertainment scene may recognize this name. Noraniza Idris is one of the renowned songstress in Malaysia who are famous for her ‘Irama Malaysia’ genre songs.

Despite being rather quiet and low profile these days, her charms and talents is still irresitible. Noraniza Idris was recently appointed as the brand ambassador and spokesperson for Permata Saadah (Wedding Events&Catering Company)

Watch the video of Aura collections by Noraniza Idris being showcased.

Simple and elegent, but still charmingly traditional, the men’s collection, Aura Iman is not only wearable on special events or occasion, but great for daily casual wear as well.

Modest but yet still alluring, the women’s collection (Aura Sari) from Aura is great for those who wanna cover up their ‘aurah’ but still looks fashionable.
