How to find the right one

You can find the right LBD to suite you.Just go hunting with a clear picture in mind  of what you needed for your specific body shape .If you are tall and reed thin,you can go for the ultra-fitted lycra enhanced LBD.Its fits the body closely ,shows off your curves and adds height .If you are less then the perfect figure ,slight tummy ,or a heavy behind ,go for a balloon dress which is fitted under the bust line and flares out a little bit,ending  just above your knees .If you have narrow waistline get a belted LBD.Try and experiment with a single shoulder or off-shoulder,or the off-shoulder variations.Never over accessories LBD keep it simple and classy.

Choose fabric for LBD according to the season.Wool and Woollen blends are perfect if you live in a part of the country that does see some modicum of winter.But satin ,silk,rayon and knits are great for rest of the year.
