With the launch of Pittsburgh social seasons, comes the search for the perfect dress.
With event like “Highmark Presents Lights! Glamour! Action!” , The Pittsburgh Auto Show's Red Carpet Gala, and the Glass Slipper Ball, just to name a few, comes the time to shop for the most exceptional dress you can find.
One key point, black tie does not always mean gown, It can certainly be cocktail length.The important factor is, how it looks on you.
To start your search online sources like ruelala.com, bluefly.com, and stylebug.com, offer exceptional value on couture gowns and cocktail dresses.
Stay clear of stores like Macy’s where you are almost guaranteed to see someone in the same dress. Instead, opt for specialty or bridal stores, which have inventory hand chosen by the owner or buyer.
Consignment stores offer gently worn , one of a kind gowns at a fraction of the original retail.
Accessories are also of great importance to complete your black tie look. Carefully choose your shoes for beauty, as well as comfort. Your jewelry should enhance the look of your dress. A necklace is not always necessary . Beautiful chandelier earrings can almost always complete the look alone. Or, pair them with a great rhinestone cuff bracelet.
Please submit photos of your black tie attire to designeronly@aol.com. They will be featured in our upcoming Pittsburgh style article.
