For winter events, one of the hardest parts of the planning is most definitely the attire! Jan of Decurtis has a New Years Eve show on a snowy outdoor venue, so tips on what to look for are a good idea! This is the kind of event you’ll want to keep flow in mind, so you’ll make more of a snowy, flowy look. And of course you’ll want to incorporate a warm fabric into the design to combat the chill. We believe all women should have the option of custom winter evening gowns, and we cover all hurdles in the design. We are Azazie, and we understand where winter evening dresses<\/a><\/u> are concerned, style and comfort must go together.<\/p>\n

The Art of Seasonal Evening Wear Selection<\/h2>\n

The more guests and their venues, the more this needs to be made clear. Epic old cathedrals, for example, are literally stone. They look amazing (and even have heating systems), but you’d be surprised how cold they are. Knowing how to choose formal dresses<\/a><\/u> for the cold will help you select a silhouette that offers coverage but is still formal. An A-line dress is a great option with its floor-skimming hemline and a-line silhouette, which creates the illusion of legs and lets you wear super warm footwear. A-line skirts create amazing silhouettes and keep you warm. You’ll be focusing more on the party instead of suffering in the chill.<\/p>\n

Finding ways to blend your own style with what is seasonally appropriate is what captures true elegance and ease in photographs. A mountain wedding might mean long and uncomfortable smiles if your dress is too light. A dress made from thick material will also be painful if you have to endure a hot and stuffy space. This is where a custom model comes to the rescue. Because your dress is made for you, the cut and fit are exact… no more fidgeting with a neckline that keeps slipping or worrying about a dress that is too long. The right dress is going to make the whole experience from dinner to dancing feel effortless and more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Mastering the Chill with Winter Evening Dresses<\/h2>\n

During colder weather, picking the right style of fabric for winter formal dresses<\/a><\/u> becomes essential again. With winter evenings here, we have the opportunity to use more luxurious fabrics like velvet and stretch crepe. Velvet, unlike many other fabrics, has a natural weight to it. It will keep you warmer but will also catch the light beautifully and will look very expensive. Velvet also has a very strong and structured look. The downside to velvet is that it is a lot warmer and more sophisticated than thinner fabrics. If you will be doing a lot of dancing and need freedom of movement, stretch crepe fabric will be a great option as it will offer tons of flexibility but it will also give you that structural look you are going for.<\/p>\n

Another method of prepping for the season includes using what is called visual depth. As the winter season is upon us, the use of Dark Navy, or more saturated colors like Emeralds or Cabernets will really pop. This season, visual depth will not only look good, but will also feel good. High necks and long sleeves can come off as less modern and more chic, but with visual depth, you are also incorporating elegant and classic. Imagine a long sleeve, velvet gown, in a deep, jewel tone… Talk about a statement!! That will be an outfit in itself. A few accessories and you have a big bold outfit choice while prioritizing your style along with your comfort.<\/p>\n

Stylist Tip<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you love a strapless look but fear the cold, don’t forget the power of a coordinated wrap. A faux fur stole or a heavy pashmina can be removed once you are safely inside the venue, giving you two distinct looks for the night.<\/p>\n

Festive Elegance: Christmas Evening Dresses<\/h2>\n

Pre-holiday dress codes for office parties and galas can be strict. Think elegant, minimal, and sophisticated sparkle with christmas holiday dresses<\/a><\/u> and you\u2019ll be sure to nail it. Easily, satin in a deep burgundy will do the job. Your aim should be to capture the essence of the season. It’s all about balance. Not feeling like you’re in a costume, but still festive. It’s important to think about the fabric’s appearance in a dressed up, decorated ballroom, with warm and golden lights. If you have satin or silk-like finishes, they will be your best friends for your festive glow.<\/p>\n

Transitioning to Summer Evening Glamour<\/h2>\n

Dresses for evening and Christmas celebrations usually involve some layer or two. A structured coat in a neutral tone, for example, can be a fantastic accessory as you arrive at the party. And, while red and green may be the holiday classics, try something new for your color palette. Dark navy, and even a deep plum, are classy alternatives for the traditional holiday colors. Deep, moody shades also work for formal black tie events. A floor-length gown in such a color will create a striking silhouette and will stand out among the usual dresses at the party. Finding the balance between personal expression and tradition is what dresses for evening and Christmas celebrations is all about.<\/p>\n
