Un vestido de cóctel para cada tipo de cuerpo.

One of the most versatile dresses that were ever designed for wear on special occasions is the Vestido de coctail. While the events for which Vestido de coctailes are worn are usually late afternoon or early evening affairs that are too casual to be called black-tie events, many Vestido de coctailes can now be worn elsewhere, depending on the cut and the material of the dress and the accessories worn with it.

To wear a Vestido de coctail to a more formal event, all you need to do is to accessorize accordingly, perhaps wear more flashy pieces of jewelry and heavier makeup. If you need to wear something dressy to the office for any reason other than the usual skirt or pantsuit, you can wear a Vestido de coctail that is not too flashy and just throw on a blazer and slip into sensible office shoes. Many current styles of Vestido de coctailes are no longer limited to being party wear anymore.

Choosing what style of Vestido de coctail to wear, however, can be very tricky for most women. After all, only a few women could claim to have truly perfect bodies, and most women who do not fall into the supermodel category prefer to hide the flaws of their figures. Wearing a one-piece dress such as a Vestido de coctail can easily reveal those flaws if the dress does not fit the wearer’s body type.

In picking out the right Vestido de coctail to wear, a woman should always consider her body type - if she is top-heavy or bottom-heavy - and find something that will balance out her figure. If it is bottom-heavy, it should be to draw attention to the upper part of her body and to her face. If she is top-heavy, she has the option to emphasize her cleavage or to wear something that will pull the eyes to her legs.

What kind of Vestido de coctail would a woman have with a bottom-heavy figure? As said above, a woman with a bottom-heavy figure would want to hide the thickness around her hips and thighs. A good Vestido de coctail for her to wear would be a dress that fits tightly around the waist but with the seams pushed out by the padding around the abdomen and having a skirt that flies out of the hips and thighs. A Vestido de coctail with a full skirt would be perfect for a woman with a bottom-heavy figure because it will definitely hide whatever flabbiness and bulges that she would like to see.

Another option available for a woman with a bottom-heavy figure is a Vestido de coctail that sports an empire-style waistline. A Vestido de coctail with an empire-style waistline has the higher waist, thus pulling the eyes towards the shoulders, the neck and the face. It also drapes and skims over the lower body. The only risk with wearing an empire-style Vestido de coctail, however, is that the empire-style cut is often used on maternity dresses, and so a woman wearing such a dress may be mistaken to be pregnant.

Y otra opción para una mujer con una figura muy pesada es un vestido de cóctel sin mangas o sin tirantes, también con una falda abultada. Nuevamente, mostrar los brazos y los hombros es efectivo para desviar la atención de las caderas.

En cuanto a las mujeres con grandes figuras, podría enfatizar su escote o su legado, como se mencionó anteriormente. Si quiere concentrarse en sus piernas en lugar de su escote, puede usar un vestido de cóctel con una blusa de color liso combinada con una falda estampada. Puede subir el dobladillo de su falda para acortarla y realmente atraer los ojos hacia sus piernas.

Si quiere llamar la atención sobre su escote en lugar de sus piernas, puede cubrirse las piernas con un vestido de cóctel de falda larga pero revelar un poco de piel en la parte superior de su cuerpo con un escote dorado bajo con cuello en V. De hecho, puede llamar la atención sobre sus dos vestidos usando un escote si lo desea. Lo que no debería usar es un vestido de cóctel con una blusa demasiado ocupada porque hará que la parte superior de su cuerpo se vea más grande y sesgue la escala de su figura.

Los accesorios también ayudan a mantener la ilusión de equilibrio en la silueta de la mujer, además de usar el vestido de cóctel adecuado. Las mujeres más pesadas pueden usar aretes, collares o collares brillantes, mientras que las mujeres más pesadas pueden renunciar a los collares y optar por un brazalete. Sin embargo, primero debe comprar su vestido de cóctel antes de determinar qué accesorios, bolso y zapatos usar.
