Buying a dress for a formal occasion is hard enough to find the right style, the right size and the right price but then what about the fabric? Fabric makes a dress, it helps the way it looks, helps the way it falls on the body and decides what occasions it is right for.

Fabric can be very confusing, unless it is should you wear flannel in the summer then you know the answer of course is no, but what about formal wear, how do you decide what fabric is right. At NextEve.com you can find answers to these questions as well as know that they are professionals when it comes to formal wear and know what fabrics should be used for formal wear.

There are many choices in fabric when it comes to formal wear, there is lace, taffeta, chiffon, tulle, organza, satin, and they can come in a shinny finish, iridescent, with appliques, with beading, or with sequins. While there are all these options that does not mean all formal dresses would look beautiful with any of these, the style of the dress should be made of a fabric that compliments the style. If the dress were a slim cut dress with no straps or slim straps, you would want a smooth fabric that would lay flat and fall smoothly on the body.

If you choose a dress that has layers or should have layers then chiffon may be a better choice than satin which would fall flat and hang limply rather than stay puffy and hold its shape. Each of these decisions unless you are a dressmaker and know fabric then these may be confusing decision, but many of them are also common sense when looking at a dress style you can judge if a fabric will make the dress lay the way it should on the body, just as a very slimming cut link, it may look wonderful if a lace covered fabric were used but should you use a fabric that is appliqued it may appear over done between the style and the color used.

Fabric has as much to do with how a dress looks as does the style and the color, if the fabric used does not match with the style the dress will not have an appearance that is pleasing to the eye, professional dress designers know this and choose fabric rather than color first to match with the style and this is what you will find on NextEve.com they are professionals. They do offer different fabric, as well as color but they will also steer you away from the wrong fabrics also and in the end by having these choices but not the wrong choices you will have the perfect dress.

Another consideration that also needs to be taken into account is your body type, not every body type looks great in every fabric, and some fabrics just as color does not do the body any favor no matter how great the style of the dress. If you are a small famed or a large framed person, chiffon in a dress style that has ruffles may either make you appear to be swimming in the dress or appear to be a larger size. Where a dress in the same style but in a fabric like taffeta may make the style of the dress appear the same but it may make the ruffles less full in appearance and make it lay nicer on the small frame or the large framed woman. Just as style makes a large difference so does the fabric that the dress is made of and it also determines where the dress is appropriate to wear, if it is made of chiffon, then it may not be a proper fabric to wear to a formal dinner party, where organza might be a better choice for this type of an event.

Choice is a wonderful thing when you are shopping for a dress and it is not often we have the option of getting what we want in the color, size, style, and fabric and it can all be yours when you shop at NextEve.com very few if any other formal wear stores and manufactures allow you to decide what fabric your dress should be made of that will have the dress fit you and appear to be made just for you and your body shape because it was made just for you in the choice of your fabric.
