How To Create The Perfect Dress

Posted on: 19 July 2015

If you happen to see a dress that you like, but you feel it could use something a little extra, there are many tips and tricks you can use to add just a bit of extra flair or pizzazz to your dress. Follow the tips detailed below to get your dress looking exactly how you want it to look.

Add a belt to a solid colored dress

If you have selected a nice dress in a solid color that needs just a little bit more, you can choose a belt in the opposite color of the dress. For example, if you have chosen a black dress, you can add a white belt. This will help to break the dress up and it will help make your waist appear smaller.

Add jewels to a dark colored dress

If you have a dark colored dress you wish had just a little bit more design to it, you can do it yourself. Purchase some self-adhesive jewels from a craft store and put them where you want them. You can even buy designs such as hearts or butterflies that are made out of jewels.

Attach a scarf

If you're looking for a way to really add to a dress that's designed to fit long and is geared for a bit chillier weather, you can stitch a shorter dress scarf around the back of the collar. Take one side of the scarf and stitch it from one hem to the other, along the collar. Leave the ends hanging or tie them together under the neckline for an added affect.  

Cut diamonds in the dress

If you're handy with a sewing machine, you can cut a small diamond in the upper chest of a simple, high necked dress. You can also cut a diamond in the upper back of a dress. Sew the edges with your sewing machine so they don't fray.

Add material to the neck line

If you have a dress you love, but you wish it didn't come down so low along the bust line, you can easily add more material. Find a solid piece of material that matches the dress and add it as a piece of trim to provide you with more covering. Cut it in the shape of a triangle and sew it to the "V" of the neck, bringing it up as far as you want it.

By following these tips you can turn the dress you almost love into the one that's your absolute favorite. If you like a dress from a company like Mommy In Heels LLC, don't let a little thing keep you from getting it. You can add to it to create the exact look you want.
