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.
