Evening Dress Patterns

dresses and ruffled dresses. They are done to death, and are no longer in vogue. It is time to graduate to more sophisticated evening dresses for women. An evening dress pattern that is very hot right now, but which only a woman with a toned body can carry off, is body con dresses. A body con dress is so called as it is a form fitting dress that ends at mid thigh. Most body con dresses are also strapless and, as mentioned earlier, women who do not have the figure for it, should stay away from body con dress. A Herve Leger bandage dress is a perfect example of a body con dress that is timeless and classic. This dress is designed to look like bandages wrapped around the body. Some of the evening dress patterns are available in simple designs in colors like gray, blue, wine and maroon. For those women who want to create an impact, I would suggest a bandage dress with sequins.

One of the must-have evening dress patterns that a women with most body shapes can wear is the Grecian drape dress. The Grecian drape dress is very 'in' at this moment and is seen on Hollywood stars at red carpet events. Although there are many different designs and styles of Grecian draped dress, the one that has remained a favorite and is the most flattering is the one shouldered Grecian draped dress. The choice of fabric can be anything from satin to chiffon or georgette and organza. Embellishments such as beading and crystals around the waist and shoulders will make your dress more appealing and attractive. You can also choose a strapless Grecian drape dress for evening dress patterns. This type of strapless Grecian drape dress has a lot of pleating around the bust with metallic high waist bandsEvening dresses with sleeves are great for women who are striving for modesty in their evening wear. A nice chiffon or georgette dress with lace sleeves is just great for a formal event or as special occasion dresses. Some good colors will be wine, maroon, royal blue, aubergine and emerald green. Do not mix prints with evening dress patterns with sleeves as that might look quite hideous. Patterns in evening dresses like geometric prints, hounds-tooth and checks can be pulled off by very tall women only. If you think that designer evening dresses and dress patterns are very expensive, that is not always true. There are many evening dress under $100 that can be found in boutiques and even online.
