? TRY LOTS OF DIFFERENT FORMAL DRESS STYLES ON
Just because Alexis Ren looks fab in a particular frock, doesn’t mean 99.5% of the population can wear it and look as good! Try on lots of different dress styles but keep in mind my guide to getting it right.
CREATE AN ALBUM IN YOUR PHONE
Once you’ve got a few pictures of dresses, hairstyle and make-up ideas etc, stick them all into a scrapbook – this will become your Look Book. Take it around with you to shops and it’ll help keep you on track with all your styling ideas.
COLOUR & DESIGN ARE YOUR FRIENDS
Use colour and design to accentuate your best features and direct the eyes away from the not-so-good bits.
❌ ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL!!!!
You’ve probably noticed but one dress might be a size 12 and fit perfectly but another size 12 either swims on you or is so tight you can’t breathe!! ? So don’t look at the size of the dress, pay attention to how the dress fits.
WARDROBE MALFUNCTIONS ?
If you’re worried about wardrobe malfunctions, there’s double sided sticky tape “Hollywood Tape” that is designed to keep your bits from being exposed unintentionally.
? HIP HIP HOORAY
Minimise your hips by going for dresses with an A-line, Empire line and detail at the neck or shoulders.
DANGEROUS CURVES ↩
Create great curves by going for a full skirted ball gown with a boned corset and off the shoulder sleeves. This will disguise a small chest and narrow shoulders and create the figure you’ve always wanted.
TUMMY YUMMY
The tummy area can be flattened by an Empire line or a dress with fabric draped or gathered across your tum.
BOOTYLICIOUS
Too much of a good thing? Avoid clingy and stiff fabrics and again go for an A-line, Empire line or full skirted ball gown.
? HIGHER, I SAID HIGHER!
How to give the illusion of height – lengthen a short torso with a drop waist or an asymmetrical design (off the shoulder) and look for subtle vertical stripes.
IN THE ARMY NOW ?
Camouflage those guns. Never wear anything tight around your arms. Maybe even go for a sophisticated wrap made of organza (a luxurious looking sheer fabric).
Now you’re set to shine ???
Just look after ya friends at schoolies,

? PS. We need to talk about looking snatched in your shoes. That is all.
