This season mermaid style dresses make a comeback with a vengeance. It was sported by singer Beyonce at most black tie and red carpet events of Hollywood. And it sure complimented her silhouette!
The mermaid dress can make you look like a fairytale princess. It looks best when worn to formal occasions with effortless occasions. You can go strapless, halter neck or even with classy see-through net or lace sleeves. Floral detailing, sequins, laces, embellishments, etc. almost everything looks gorgeous on these dresses.
I love the nude, metallic colors available in the JS collections mermaid gown. It’s sensual, dressed up and yet has this subtle sophistication. If you want something peppier then opt for a sequined style like Rose McGowan.She had worn a sequined mermaid dress to the premier of her latest 3-D fantasy flick “Conan the Barbarian” in Los Angeles. She stopped out in shimmering elegance with a sparkling, sequin gown from Blumarine. The halter-cut dress color gradient went from cobalt to chartreuse.
Now keep in mind that the mermaid style shape hugs the body right from the chest, all the way to the knees. From the knees you can opt for ultra or slight flair. This outfit looks best on confident and curvaceous women, but the right hue and style can be worn by petite women too.
Black mermaid dresses are ever popular as they make you look slimmer. But remember they can appear too severe also. So, as a rule of thumb opt for colored accessories with them or try the Jennifer Garner style with feathers and ruffles.
