Stick to 1–2 accessories max — let the outfit do the talking

Prioritize comfort — you’ll be moving, hugging, posing, sitting
🚫 Don’t:
-
Wear anything too tight at the bust or hip — movement is key

Go for loud glitter or mirror work — it steals focus & reflects poorly in pictures

❓ FAQs — Because These Are Your Moments
Q: What’s better for my birthday — dress or co-ord?
A: If it’s a dance or dinner party, go for a dress. For a day party or staycation, co-ords give you comfort + style balance.
Q: I want to wear white as a bride-to-be — which shade?
A: Pearl white or ivory with soft shimmer is best. Avoid stark white under harsh lighting unless paired with contrast makeup.
Q: What’s the best dress for a garden or poolside engagement?
A: Try a midi or ankle-length dress in muslin or satin-linen with side gathers or off-shoulder sleeves. Comfort + movement = win.
Q: Can I wear darker colors for my birthday or bridal look?
A: Absolutely. Wine, navy, charcoal, or bottle green feel rich and photo-friendly — just balance them with soft makeup or gold accessories.
Q: I’m curvy — what flatters me most?
A: Go for A-line cuts, gathered maxis, and dresses with seam structure at the waist or bust. Add ruching if you want movement without cling.
