..And the bejewelled dresses

 By Nkarenyi Ukonu     

The fluidity of these long flowing gowns is what should make any woman desire to have one. It should not sit pretty in your wardrobe but should adorn your frame. They are the rage now! It was traditionally worn by older women but younger women are beginning to find the appeal of these chiffon pieces irresistible. While some come with embroidery, giving it a richer look, others come plainly without any embellishments. But be careful when making your purchase so that you can look your best in the outfit.

Taller and slimmer women can carry the bejewelled dresses well and still look good in them. Not so for a woman of petite frame. Instead, it will shorten her frame further and make her look bulkier than she actually is. Petite women should therefore avoid this look totally. The chiffon bou bou or kaftan is a boom for tall and full figure women, as the dress will hide the extra fat on the thighs, hips and stomach giving one a proper feminine look. Could be both formally and casually worn.
