Dressy Casual

Life was so simple when the world was not obsessed with dress code. There were only two types of dressing styles, casual and formal. Formal was something you used to wear to office, weddings and evening parties. Casual clothing comprised of T-shirts, shorts, jeans which people used to wear for fishing trips, picnics or informal gatherings. However, with the increase in social events and the diversity in their nature, the demand for particular dressing style also increased. Newer terms were incorporated into the original definition of dress code. Apart from formal and casual, new dress codes such as business casual, smart casual, dressy casual, semi-formal, etc. were also introduced. This invariably added to the existing confusion of dress codes. In this article we are going to demystify dressy casual dress code, which is comparatively a lesser known dressing style. So, let us see what is dressy casual attire all about.

What is Dressy Casual Attire

If you ask the same question 'what does dressy casual mean?' to ten different people, you will get 10 different answers. This is one dress code, which does not specify stringent rules regarding dressing. Although, it is open to interpretation, one must use common sense while decoding this dress code. Degree of formality of the occasion is of prime importance whenever you consider dressing for any event. Morning events are usually the least formal, followed by brunches and afternoon events. Evening events are the most formal and demand stricter adherence to the dress code. Events that usually demand dressy casual attire are usually evening events that are more social and less of business type. Retirement parties, class reunions, promotion parties, inaugurations, exhibitions, etc. are some of the occasions which demand dressy casual dress code. The whole idea is to let the guests be comfortable in their clothing while still maintaining the required level of professionalism. Dressy casual attire is more or less similar to smart casual dress code, however, the fabrics become richer when you move towards the dressier style.

Dressy Casual Attire for Men

As mentioned above, there are no rules regarding what to wear when the invitation says dressy casual. Yet, there are some general guidelines which you can follow to minimize the risk of fashion faux pas. There is a lot of controversy regarding the inclusion of jeans as dressy casual attire. If you are unsure whether or not you should wear your designer jeans to an event, we offer a simple solution. If the event is a morning or an afternoon affair or if the occasion is relaxed and casual, sure go for your favorite pair of denims. Otherwise, it is better to stick to khakis, chinos and dress pants for men's clothing. Wear polo shirts, turtlenecks, button down shirts with or without jacket. Loafers or comfortable slip-ons are a good option for footwear. By all means avoid wearing your running shoes or sneakers to a dressy casual event. Maintaining a groomed look is a must, hence make sure your clothes are clean, crinkle free and your face well-groomed.

Dressy Casual Attire for Women

Dressy casual attire for women is open for interpretation and imagination. Simple, straight fit jeans with a dressy top in rich fabric such as velvet, silk or satin is a good women's clothing idea for dressy casuals. You can also wear long or short skirts with satin blouses and throw a jacket. Pants and jackets also give you the desired look. You can also team up your attire with cardigans, sweaters or vest coats. Accessorizing your attire is a must for women, hence make sure your bag, jewelry is in sync with your attire. Open toe shoes should be avoided with a dressy casual outfit. Instead trust your formal party shoes while dressing up for a dressy causal event.Source URL: http://unknowablejourney.blogspot.com/search/label/2010%20Fashion%20Shows

Hood Fancy Dress

By far the most popular type of Little Red Riding Hood fancy dress costume are those sexy versions of the outfit that are guaranteed to get all the Big Bad Wolves at the party howling with delight. Perhaps this is not too surprising when we consider the origins of this well-loved fairy-tale that has now become a children's bedtime story.
This is a fairy-tale that has changed significantly over the years and literary historians debate whether the original tale was in fact a metaphor for a girl's journey into womanhood, where she first discovers her sexuality. A far cry from the story we all know and love today.
Sexy Little Red Riding Hood fancy dress outfits are usually based around a red or red, black and white mini dress, together with a red hooded cape. There are certainly some good sexy Little Red Riding Hood fancy dress costumes available at specialist online websites, but if you really want to look the part then you are definitely going to need to purchase some cool accessories.
Below are four such accessories to help make your sexy Little Red Riding Hood fancy dress outfit look sensational.
Sexy head wear
Most Red Riding Hood outfits come with a red hooded cape, however, you may want to purchase some additional head wear to transform your look further. A special red felt hat, complete with attached blonde plaits, is a good way to achieve this.
A sexy petticoat and tights
A short red petticoat, with a lace trim at the hem, will not only add to the sexy look of your costume, but more importantly it will give volume and bounce to the bottom of your mini dress. Meanwhile, a pair of red fishnet tights are a great little touch to add to your costume's sex appeal, but at the same time make you feel less exposed.
Some sexy footwear
Quite often the right footwear can make a big difference to the overall look of your outfit and this costume is no exception. A pair of sexy black thigh high boots, with a full length zip fitted, will finish your costume perfectly.
A wolf's head in a basket
Okay, perhaps this accessory will not add too much to your outfit's sex appeal, although it could be argued that it gives your character a certain kind of empowerment. Nonetheless, this is a great accessory for any Little Red Riding Hood costume and consists of a durable PVC basket with dual handle, an attached red and white gingham lining and a removable hand painted latex head wearing Grandma's gingham cap.

One instance where pattern is shown to great effect is in the kimono sleeve and Kaftan sleeve. Widths of sleeve and drape vary, but the potential for even greater volume is still growing.

Summer Dress Silhouette

In fashion history terms it is now very easy to see how the dress for 2009 is moving from a straight silhouette to A-line.  The profile is getting much wider at skirt and shoulder level, and is balanced with a longer hemline.
Observe how many of the dresses on this page illustrate the use of a wider A-line silhouette, drapery, tucks, pleats and bows.  Almost all are combined with that other strong new fashion trend of greater modesty at the neckline.  Most of these frocks have more modest sweeping jewel or boat necklines rather than ultra low revealing décolleté.
Less formal dresses are the easy A-line 60's shifts, or Kimono sleeve dresses that morph into tunics when worn over trousers.
Asymmetric one shoulder dresses are leading the way for occasion and evening wear styles, although there are also plenty of prom fairy style dresses and maxi dresses too.  You are reading an original article about fashions in summer dresses for 2009, author Pauline Weston Thomas at www.fashion-era.com Copyright 2009 ©

Bold Dresses for Spring 2009
All manner of styles have appeared for Spring 2009 with both customers and retailers taking the dress to heart.  These two dresses above right are by Celine.  Both Celine dresses illustrate the fashion trendsetter elements with the loose painted on dye fabric effect, the widening longer line skirt and wider shoulder line.
This is a pivotal change in the everyday silhouette and worthy of note. For not only is the dress now a norm, but it also comes in a wide array of silhouette styles.Source URL: http://unknowablejourney.blogspot.com/search/label/2010%20Fashion%20Shows

Fashion Design2010

In the high-profile world of fashion design, the emphasis is increasingly placed on selling a dream rather than on describing the cut and construction of garments. The fashion press excels in presenting whimsical creations on models known for their beauty, poise, and exposure. Technological advancements within the field of fashion design are rarely mentioned. When one takes a closer look at the fashion industry, however, one sees how computer technology has changed the landscape and possesses the ability to transform it further.
The design and production of garments usually is the work of a team of individuals, each of whom specializes in a different process. A designer, or design team, will first produce sketches of garments or drape fabric on a dressform to obtain different styles. The artistic rendering of a garment is there to create a mood and is typically supplemented with precise line drawings that are known as "flats." With computer-aided design (CAD) software, a designer can scan a sketch and manipulate the result with image-editing software or draw directly onto the computer's …Source URL: http://unknowablejourney.blogspot.com/search/label/2010%20Fashion%20Shows

Little Black Dress

Every woman looks great wearing it, and every woman has her own. It is the default date ensemble when it is one of those "I have nothing to wear" days. In fact, it is so popular, so necessary, and so much an institution in women's fashion that we had to ask: "Where did the "little black dress" come from?"

To properly understand the fashion environment necessary to produce such a simplistically fabulous necessity for any wardrobe, we must visit the 1920's. As women shed their long, layered dresses, cut their hair and enjoyed the fast-paced party life, society slowly became more accepting of women baring slightly more of her shoulders, back, and legs. The coveted silhouette of the era was generally very slender and youthful.

It was during the 20's that the legendary fashion designer Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel first stitched her name into the history of women's clothing design. In fact, Chanel's designs are often considered to be the epitome of the 20's style because her work was so fresh, modern, and updated.

Chanel encouraged and inspired the style we typically envision when we think of flappers. She was fond of working with neutral colors and soft easy-to-wear jersey fabrics that were simple in shape and cut. Chanel was able to infuse comfort and sophistication into fashion, and this combination was considered revolutionary. It was during her early work, that Chanel designed and introduced the first little black dress to the world.

First introduced in 1926, black was previously considered to be a color reserved for funerals and periods of mourning. Truly simple and sexy, Chanel's design was a sleeveless sheath cut just above the knee. She could have never predicted the immediate and lasting love women would have with her simple, chic black dress.

As Chanel was quoted, "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury." Whether a woman's little black dress cost $50 or $2,000 her intention is the same: to look effortlessly classic and appropriately sexy in just seconds. While most of us cannot afford to buy Chanel's breathtakingly beautiful pieces, we can certainly wear our trusty black dresses with the modern, sophisticated attitude she possessed.Source URL: http://unknowablejourney.blogspot.com/search/label/2010%20Fashion%20Shows

Take your time and stroll through our aisles until you find the perfect prom dress for your 2011 prom.
The 2011 Prom You
It does not matter how beautiful your prom dress looks on a mannequin or model if the dress is not suited for your body style; it will simply not flatter you. That does not mean you can’t find the perfect prom dress, it just means that you will look most beautiful in a dress that is meant for you, and that means understanding a little bit about fashion and complementary styles. Some of the top 10 prom dresses, such as the A-line dress, are able to complement most body shapes and sizes. A-line dresses are typically form-fitting in the body and then flare into a full skirt from the waist. A-line dresses can vary in length and you can adjust your body style by playing with different colors and patterns. Solid colors can be slimming while vivid prints tend to be bolder. Patterns can also give shape and definition to taller figures while solids can elongate the petite. Most girls who dream of the Cinderella ball gown can have their night at the ball. Ball Gowns are formal prom dresses that complement every body shape except for the petite girl. Petite girls can get lost in all of the ruffles and tiers that normally drape a true ball gown. Don’t worry; if you’re petite there is a special dress for you that will help you outshine everyone else at the prom (See Empire prom gowns and Sheath Prom gowns below!) Ball gowns can have different bodices to complement the small busted or the large busted and with different options for halter dresses or strapless dresses you can complement your body frame perfectly. Empire prom gowns are ideal for petite girls and tall girls alike. An empire prom dress can give you a larger bust-line appearance and elongate your waistline. Petite girls can also elongate their appearance by playing with different hem lengths and choosing shorter dresses to look taller. Give an added appearance of a longer body by choosing sweetheart necklines or halter prom dresses. A short prom dress like a cocktail dress can be the perfect choice for the petite. The high waist of an empire prom dresses is also ideal for the full figured woman, accentuating the bust-line instead of the waist. Sweetheart necklines and halter prom dresses are also flattering for the full figured girl as she makes her appearance on the red carpet of Prom night 2011. Sheath prom dresses, also known as mermaid dresses, are complementary for tall and thin girls as well as petite girls. Tall girls may want to consider a full length sheath prom dress with a slit that reveals her long legs while still giving her classic elegance. A sheath dress without a slit can give a petite girl a longer appearance, especially if including a simple dress in solid colors and no patterns. Sheath gowns are not flattering for full figured women or pear shaped figures, but girls with this body type will be the belle of the ball with an A-line prom dress, a ball gown, or an empire prom dress (see above). Tall and slender girls can wear an A-line dress, ball gown, empire prom dress, or sheath dress in solid colors. They can create an hourglass figure by choosing a dress with shirring or accessorizing with a belt from a belt collection. Petite girls can wear an A-line dress, an empire dress, or a sheath prom dress and can create a longer appearance by shortening the hemline. Full figured women and pear shaped girls will be striking wearing prom dresses in A-line styles dresses, ball gowns, and Empire prom dresses. Wearing solid colors, whether bold red or bashful pink, is also complementary as is the sweetheart neckline or halter prom dress. Some other unique features of body styles can also be accentuated and flattered by the prom dresses 2011 found on Promgirl.net. For example, broad shouldered girls have a wonderful opportunity to wear strapless gowns on prom night. Small busted girls can use ruffles or beading to give shape to their bust-line while busty girls can get flattering support from a halter prom dress.Source URL: http://unknowablejourney.blogspot.com/search/label/2010%20Fashion%20Shows

Growth of Textile Industry in Pakistan

Trade has always been an essential part of the human existence. Ever since time immemorial, with the start of communication; men and women of different color, creed and ethnicity have indulged themselves in the economics of the world and have earned their livelihood from it. Be it the barter system, the Silk Route or even the Great Depression, our existence has been linked with trade. In short this act of voluntary exchange of goods and services has been going on for centuries. The commerce of fabric is no stranger to the Indian subcontinent. Ever since partition, officials have sought a higher rate of economic growth in order to lift the population out of poverty. Rapid industrialization was viewed as a basic necessity and as a vehicle for economic growth. For more than two decades, economic expansion was substantial and the-growth of industrial output was striking. Recent years have seen a drastic change/in the industry; especially the textile sector. At the time of independence, present-day Pakistan had only two textile mills. These units were self contained, having all the departments such as ginning, spinning, weaving, dyeing and bleaching as well as processing and printing. Although the printing of textiles was not as developed in those days as it is now, after independence, the process of developing the textile industry started to pick up gradually. By mid-sixties there were about 180 units of textile bleaching, printing and processing units, mostly situated in Karachi and a small number in the Punjab. In 1968, in consequence of change in the basis of collection of excise duty from capacity to production, most of the mills closed down their weaving sections. The looms which were removed from the mills, were installed outside the mills' premises in units of four, which have been exempted from excise duty. About 31, 000 looms since 1969-70, continued to operate in the mill sector even after a general segregation of weaving. This number decreased to only 9,000 looms in the mill sector by the end of June, 2006. In the non-mill sector, a big majority of the units operate at a very low level, having little automatic machinery. In some factories, the printing of textile, is done by spreading the cloth on the top of tables, while pressing design screens on them - a method which is primitive as compared to the process in use by modern and automated factories. According to estimates, textile finishing industry consists of nearly 731 units, the majority of which are independent and complementary to the weaving industry. About 650 independent processing units are working in and around Faisalabad, Gujranwala and Karachi, in which about 50 integrated units have complete finishing facilities. Textiles and clothing trade is a vital part of the world economy with many nations heavily dependent on this sector for foreign exchange earnings and employment generation. Today, textiles and clothing trade accounts for nearly 6% of total world exports. Many of the least developed-and small developing countries have built a huge dependency on the sector which often accounts for more than 90% of industrial exports and more than 50% of total employment. With increased global competition, many sectors within the textile industry are increasing production efficiency. Research, innovations and development in technical textiles, yarn quality, clothing products, process performance, fabric finishing, coloration technology and marketing can bring significant advancements in the textile sector in order to develop market supremacy. :. Fabric processing is the most critical stage of value addition in the entire value chain. Woven or knit fabric can either be dyed or printed, depending upon the requirement of the customer who is the garment manufacturer. The use of colored cotton being unique and attractive has the potential to become a part of cotton fabric and apparel market. After the abolition of quota regime, Asia has become a hub of textile trade as one of the major exporting countries of the region. Instead of importing yarn from Pakistan as the developed nations did, Asian countries have invested heavily in their spinning industries to produce yarn. Pakistani spinners were caught on the wrong foot as they invested heavily in spinning during the last eight years while their market in countries like Japan, the US, European Union and Hong Kong weakened after the textile trade was made quota-free at the start of 2005. According to recent figures, the Pakistan's textile industry contributes more than 60% to the country's total exports, which amounts to around US $ 5.2 billion. The industry contributes around 46% to the total output produced and exported by Pakistan. The contribution of this industry to the total GDP is 8.5%. It provides employment to 38% of the work force in the country, which amounts to 15 million people.

Perfect Handbag

The handbag is an essential item for most women, helping carry around the day and night's necessitates. Yet despite its importance in functionality, the handbag is also one of the most essential-and stylistically telling-pieces in fashion. Thus, it's important to consider various features when choosing a handbag, to ensure you get the most out of both its functionality and style.


Many women own at least one or two "staple" handbags, which they use everyday and pair with most outfits. What's more, most of these handbags end up being neutral in colour-for example, browns, nudes, or plain black. However, choosing a handbag to mesh with most "looks" doesn't mean it has to be boring. Opt for a unique style, while sticking with a neutral colour and you'll still be able to spice up any outfit. Alternatively, kick it up a notch by choosing a handbag with metallic or subtle print detailing.

However, no one ever said your "staple" handbag can't be colourful. If you're not afraid to stand out, opt for bright hues likered, yellow, orange, green. And don't always worry about your handbag matching with every outfit. A lot of bright coloured handbags -especially those that are solid coloured-will compliment many different outfits. Just remember not to let your handbag-outfit combination get too busy with prints and bright colours.


When it comes to specific "looks", certain styles of handbags are definitely more appropriate. For instance, if you normally dress up for the office, odds are you'll want a handbag to match. Opt for a structured bag with two top handles for a chic, ladylike look.


On the other hand, if you're trying to achieve a more casual look, pick up a messenger bag (which you can find in everything from canvas to leather). Worn across the body, these bags leave your arms free; but they're certainly more stylish than backpacks. Looking for something hip? Sling a slouchy "hobo" style bag over your shoulder. And if your style is a bit edgier, pick up a clutch bag adorned with metal hardware or studs.



Size is another important feature when it comes to choosing a handbag. Ever see anyone walking around with an overstuffed purse? It's not a pretty sight-and it's one purse pitfall that should be avoided at all costs. Sure, we all have days when we carry around more than usual. But if you typically tote a ton around, you're better off sizing up on your handbag.


That being said, however, you should also consider your own size when choosing a handbag. If you're petite, don't carry around a massive bag that overpowers your frame. Instead, opt for something relative to your size. If you tend to carry around a lot in your purse, size up (at most) to a medium bag. On the other hand, if you're tall or broad, a tiny bag will seem too small. Try one that's on the larger side for a look that's better suited to your frame.


Last but not least, learn to let go when it's time for a new handbag. Many women tend to get attached to their handbags-which is not surprising, considering it accompanies them everywhere. But when holes, worn leather, tears, or frayed stitching start to show, it's time to move on to a new bag. Keeping these few tips in mind when shopping for handbags will ensure you get one that suits not only your functional needs, but also your unique style.

Fashion Accessory

A fashion accessory refers to items like fashion jewelry, fashion shoes as well as other items of dress that add to the overall effect of a fashion doll. Hair fashion items also fall into the fashion accessory category.
Fashion Jewelry/ Wholesale Fashion Jewelry
Fashion jewelry is an important accessory for a woman of fashion and style. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings form important fashion jewelry pieces. Fashion jewelry follows the current fashion trend pattern and is generally made in silver, gold or platinum. The lure of the diamond does not die with any fashion trend. It continues to be the hallmark of exquisite jewelry.
You can find a store that deals with wholesale fashion jewelry. This type of fashion jewelry is lower priced and follows the fashion trend. Wholesale fashion jewelry outlets offer fashion jewelry and fashion accessory items at reasonable prices. Fashion jewelry can extend to semi precious stones, fashion jewelry display items, hair fashion goods as well as body piercing fashion jewelry.
Teen Fashion Tips
Teen fashion is a very important segment of the fashion industry. Actually no need to say fashion tips for teens they can always find their way. Denim has been an all-time favorite in teen fashion. A classic jean or corduroy jacket is a must-have for any school kid who is following the teen fashion trend carefully. Teen fashion jeans have undergone many changes - from fitted to flattering to bootcuts to widelegs. Cargo pants and drawstring trousers are also extremely popular among the teen fashion followers. If you want something classic and wearable from the teen fashion wardrobe, you cant go wrong with a classic denim mini skirt.
Teen fashion also extends beyond teen fashion clothing to fashion shoes, fashion accessory items like fashion jewelry and hair fashion. The teen fashion fad to wear colored cosmetic contact lenses leads to the risk of blindness or serious eye infections. To achieve the fashion doll effect, many teens go in for designer lenses, though they serve no medical use.
