Gorgeous in Green dresses

Green is traditionally the color of envy - and if you can wear it, your friends will certainly be envious indeed!

This simple design with a shirred bust is designed to flatter your figure and is ideal for prom, a formal event or special party.

Why not try something really different with one of the latest colors - lime ?

Green can look especially great on those with warmer skin tones, those with freckles and those with red hair will look fab in any shade, and some bluer greens will look great on those with a clearer complexion.

Dresses in this color are suitable for many different occasions and events, at many different times of year. A green prom dress is a popular choice, as is pale green bridesmaid dresses at a wedding.

When choosing the particular shade of green for your special occasion, be careful not to appear too ‘army’ by making sure you only wear one shade at a time, and avoid choosing any designs that are too straight or formally cut.

Dark green evening wear, in tones such as forest, emerald or olive will be a lasting addition to your wardrobe. Green velvet jackets are a fairly common evening accessory.

Steer clear of wearing green with yellow, unless its designer made, or approved by at least 5 of your friends!

Also be careful with bright green colours like lime or apple green, as these can be difficult colors to look right in.

Green is a great choice for those that want to stand out, and those that want to blend into the background, as it is readily available in so many shades.

Choosing a green cocktail outfit and matching it with black accessories can make for a très chic ensemble.

Jennifer Lopez is someone who always embraces this color, her famous plunge neck Versace gown was incredible, and she also has been seen strutting the catwalk in a one-shoulder smock for her own fashion line.
