How to know what an elegant evening dress is so you can look fabulous at your event

Inspiration and suggestions, gorgeous evening dresses, useful tips according to your body

In all these years since I meet you in the Bucharest showroom or at Paris Fashion Week, the discussion starts with this question: What is the evening dress that suits me, what do you advise me?

I am Elena Perseil, an internationally successful designer with over 30 years of experience, so I decided to make a blog about it. How to make it easier for you to choose the perfect wedding/bride or prom dress, the perfect occasion dress for you. Among the multiple styles, which one do you choose. Let's take them one by one.

The luxurious, elegant, fluid silk dress

For a tall person or for a person with a defined waist even if she has larger hips, the silk dress is perfect. You will have an exclusive dress, silk is most often made to your measurements. I often combine silk with lace. You will always feel sensual, feminine in a lace dress. The combination of the two materials, lace and silk, makes your appearance very feminine. The long evening dress will flow fluidly over your shapes, flutter in the wind, you will feel feminine and beautiful. The hips will give beautiful volume to the silk that generally does not generate volume.

Dresses made of luxury materials, haute couture help the silhouette. That is why they are also expensive because they are made of natural fibers, pleasant to the touch, carefully crafted.

A dress made of special materials will always be elegant, for an occasion even if it does not seem sophisticated at first glance. If it has a marked waist, it helps you, even if your waist is not very thin. Silk is perfect for a wedding dress, civil wedding, baptism or coming of age. It is an elegant dress especially if it is made of natural silk that has a very fine, aristocratic appearance.

It is good to leave the dress long, it has more impact, it slims you. Even for New Year's Eve you can choose a silk dress, you can find long-sleeved silk New Year's Eve dresses. I will leave you below examples of long-sleeved silk evening dresses to inspire you. A bias cut is more advantageous for you if you have a few extra kilos. You can also wear it wrinkled, but go to a luxury atelier, on order, to have it ironed beautifully around your waist. We also make luxury dress models personalized to your measurements and favorite colors.
In the Bucharest showroom you can try on various variations. You can meet with me, a Romanian designer with a lot of experience, and together we will find the right dress for you. I also made an interesting Vlog about choosing evening dresses that you can see HERE.

Unique, elegant, hand-embroidered dresses

A hand-embroidered dress is like a jewel. It is unique and never goes out of style. It is suitable for an elegant mother-in-law dress, a godmother's dress, because you can be sure that you will look fabulous.

The embroidery follows the body line but does not mold, so even if you have a few extra pounds it can help you. The material with many details makes it precious without needing much volume to create an impact. So, if you like an embroidered dress, you can opt for it even if you do not have the perfect body.

You can opt for a v-neck and a loose line, a mermaid dress, perhaps with side slits for more femininity.

The black evening dress is always elegant, and an embroidery on black is spectacular because you can see several shades of black.

I also prepared an interesting vlog dedicated to embroidered dresses that you can watch HERE.

Elegant Occasion Dresses in A-shape, Princess Style Dresses

The A-shape dress can be perfect for a prom dress or a banquet/ball gown.
It is a super spectacular evening dress variant. It fits all sizes. If you are XXL it is good to have it in A-shape but without the tulle underneath. The material of the luxurious dress, lace or another worked, embroidered, 3D material, should be of quality, monochrome if possible, precious but discreet.

You can put more detail on the shoulders and neckline. Even if the evening dress has long sleeves you can have details on the shoulders, feathers or embroidery.

Anyway, don't forget, in all the pictures we appear mainly with the top, so I advise you to notice this important detail as well. A-line evening dresses can be lace occasion dresses, veil evening dresses or elegant silk dresses with tulle that gives volume.
Generally this type of dress can have a corset at the top. They are not the kind of long evening dresses that I recommend for plus sizes, unless the bottom is without the volume tulle.

Asymmetrical evening dresses perfect for weddings, baptisms, weddings

Actually asymmetrical evening or evening dresses are very versatile. They are perfect for daytime weddings as well as for senior dresses, baptism dresses, or banquet dresses.

They can be very spectacular in this mix of long and short. Below you will see some examples that will convince you. Being a combination of long and short, you can wear them in various situations. If you have a well-proportioned body, they highlight you very well, you will always be elegant and special. The thigh, calf, waist and neckline can be highlighted. I have some gorgeous creations with bare shoulders, you will see them below, you can also find them in the Bucharest showroom or in the online dress store.

It depends on what you accessorize with, but it can also be a day wedding dress, as we have become accustomed to lately. It can also be seen as a sensational long evening dress but also as a short elegant day dress at the same time.
