The Elegant Style of Ladies' Dresses for Evening Wear
When it comes to ladies' evening dresses, there are a number of different styles, designs and fabrics to choose from. An evening dress can be a formal dress that is floor length or knee length in design. The line of dresses created to be worn in the evening will include the cocktail dress. This particular style is one that is knee length and can have a full skirt or a close fitting A-line style. While this dress is available in a wide assortment of colors, it is best known as the traditional "little black dress" women keep on hand to wear for all types of occasions.

Homecoming Dresses
It's that time of year again! Every homecoming hottie is excited to dress up and look beautiful for one special night. Some like the occasion just to be able to catch up with friends, others like it because it is a chance to hang out with their significant other and still others go because they want to impress that special someone that they have been eying since the school year started. Whatever the reason, homecoming is a fun night to enjoy music and good food and have memories until the end.

Graduation Dresses
Our parents lovingly watch us grow, swiftly racing through the precious years. There is one fateful day for which I am sure they have a kaleidoscope of emotion, making the years blur together: the day they help you choose a graduation dress. The one bittersweet thought burning in their minds is "my baby is all grown up!"

Style Code 1: Hide figure flaws
When shopping for an evening gown, bridesmaid gown, bridal gown, special occasion dress, or anything for that matter, it is important to understand your figure and ways to enhance the features you like about it. Read on for some tips from Dress Code Formal's (DCF) design team.

Style Code 2: Dressing the 'H'
Women that have fairly straight figures, a less-defined waist, and equally wide hips and shoulders are in the 'H' body type. Usually, this also includes a smaller or flatter butt.

Style Code 3: Dressing the 'M'
Women blessed with proportionate shoulders, bust and hips, a defined waist and delicate curves make up the 'M' body type. You are lucky and should enjoy enhancing your hourglass figure with a wide variety of silhouettes.

Style Code 4: Dressing the 'P'
Women who have narrower hips, and a larger or, proportionally, fuller bust are in the 'P' body type. The idea is to create more shape in your hip area to help balance your figure. We also want to enhance what you have, which is a very nice bust, so try some V-neck styles and princess seams.

Style Code 5: Dressing the 'A'
Women who have a smaller bust or narrower shoulders and, proportionally, wider and fuller hips are in the 'A' body type. Women with 'A' silhouettes should focus on drawing attention to their top half and softly hugging their bottom half. If you are at Dress Code Formal looking for a bridesmaid dress, you can try silhouettes that have embellishments or details on the bust, such as ruffles, gathering, or pleating. Look for skirts with a soft A-line skirt, possibly in chiffon with a waist band on the natural or high waist.

Style Code 6: Dressing the 'E'
Women who have a rounder profile are considered the 'E' body type. Women in this group have waist measurements that are proportionally larger than their bust and hips. 'E' bodies tend to have unbelievable legs and a shorter torso. The key to playing up your assets if you are in this group is to show off your legs, balance out your lower body, and concentrate on bust details and embellishments to show off your beautiful face.

Style Code 7: Dressing the 'S'
"S" shaped women tend to have quite curvy silhouettes. Women in this category have defined waist and softened shoulders. As well, women with the "S" body type have a balance between bust and hips. This category is typically considered the "luckiest" among women as they tend to look wonderful in everything.

Style Code 8: Dressing the 'Y'
"Y" shaped women tend to have broad shoulders and narrow hips. They tend to be described as "athletic" in build and have very attractive slender necks. Try a V-neck when looking for a bridesmaid dress or evening gown, as this will draw the eye downwards, while enhancing the beauty of your collarbones and accenting your swan-like neck.
