A Halter Dress For All Occasions
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010Halter tops and dresses have one of the most flattering cuts in evening wear today; but did you know that this style goes way back to the days of early India where it was worn by queens and maids of honor? Halter tops have evolved to become elegantly designed dresses and gowns with fabrics made from silk and other expensive, lightweight materials. Halter top dresses and long gowns are now a popular choice for proms, weddings and other occasions and they never go out of style.

Whether it’s the prom, a wedding or a formal dinner party you’re going to, you’ll never go wrong with a halter dress or gown. It’s known for its very flattering cut – if you want to draw attention, this is a good choice. Halter gowns and dresses typically bare the shoulders and may occasionally dip low enough to reveal a hint of cleavage. The halter dress brings focus to a woman’s upper body, so if you’ve got the upper bod to show off, the halter is definitely for you. If you’re a bit thicker on the thighs or hips, a halter dress is ideal for concealing those areas. When choosing a halter dress, learn to accessorize and take note of the following:
Perfect Halter Fit
Yes, this may apply to all dresses, but this is very true of a dress that’s meant to be shown off! A halter dress is generally flattering on most figures, so there’s no excuse not to wear one that flows seamlessly on the bottom and fits comfortably on top. Pick one that hugs your body in all the right places, with straps that fits snugly from your armpits to the shoulder and neck area.
Color and Your Skin Tone
Orange may be your favorite color but it may clash with your skin tone. Stick to colors that flatter your skin tone. Whether it’s black, red, green or a gown with vibrant prints, make sure the color does not wash you out. If you’re heavier, avoid exuberant prints or horizontal stripes. They give the illusion of bulkiness!
Halter Style
We all know over-the-top glitz is usually never a good idea. Stick to a few well-placed adornments in your dress. Some are beautifully embellished with embroidery, gemstones or sequins. Others may feature small cutout sections around the halter neckline. Halter straps may also be very wide or extremely thin. Choose what fits the occasion and make sure you’re wearing your halter dress right.
