With luxury and mystique in the name, the evening gown has echoes of movie award ceremonies, romantic parties, glamorous gatherings and maybe even a little of the fairy tale about it. Distinguishable from its everyday equivalent by its expensive fabrics, flattering tailoring and ornate, perhaps extravagant, details, the evening dress is the ultimate display of opulence. Even where no opulence exists, it�s a bold step into a society that values such things. Perhaps the most decadent expression of this wealthy background is in its very name; an evening gown isn�t just meant to be work in the evening, it�s meant to be worn on just one evening.
Fashion dictates the look of the well dressed woman�s evening gown in any given season, so there�s no point in trying to make a blanket definition of the look. They can go from the short, figure-hugging and revealing to much more flowing and loose, and can come with or without sleeves or straps. The manner of its acquisition will be different for all of us, though.
Whereas most of us would go for an off-the-peg number, some will have their dresses tailor-made for them to their own specification; when you�re near the top of your game you�ll have it done by a famous designer. At the very pinnacle of celebrity society, the whole world is turned upside down as you�ll probably have the dress given to you for free as long as you�re wearing it for an event that�s beamed around the world � many people will tune into the Oscars to watch the red carpet and switch off once the film nonsense gets going. The designers� creations quite often linger longer than the films, too.
The challenge for us normal people, therefore, is to land that special look without it breaking the bank. One good way is to scour the vintage clothing stores (of which there are several good online examples) and see what you can find. Don�t be put off by it being tailor-made for somebody else. If you were measured up today, could you guarantee that you�d be exactly the same size in several weeks when the dress is completed? Of course not. We all have our figure fluctuations as the year cycles by, so as long as you can find a rough approximation of our figure size, you�ll be able to get into the dress with the odd minor modification � a stitch here, a safety pin there � assisted by your lady-in-waiting (your best mate Mandy, whose lady-in-waiting happens to be you).
If you�re wearing heels at the event, and you probably will be, remember to have them on when any modifications are being made as they profoundly affect your posture. It�s also important to perform at least a few basic manoeuvres in the comfort of your own home, especially if your dress is designed to fit you with no room to spare. Try standing up and sitting down, walking up and down some steps and maybe even doing a little dance � these movements will reveal any tension points that could seriously ruin your evening � or at least tell you what not to attempt!
