What is beauty? This is a question that millions of people ask themselves and wonder if there is a universal answer to the question. Yet there is a sure and simple answer to this question as defined by the dictionary which states: beauty is what is beautiful in a person or thing. Whether this is true or not, a look at some of the most beautiful women in history will provide a starting point in determining the answer to the question.
We all have seen the images of the beauty pageant winner that is wearing the most sparkly or lacy gowns and they speak volumes about the women’s beauty. But what makes a gown sparkle and shine as much as it does? The answer to this question lies in the materials used in its construction and these items can be purchased from department stores.
In the past only real diamonds were used for making these gowns as they were the most expensive. But today all styles and price ranges of jewelry are available so that any woman can take part in a beauty pageant and win the crown with or without a diamond. What makes these gowns sparkle is the attention to detail and effort that was put into the design of the gowns and their pretty accessories.
The next most important aspect of a gown is the material of the gown is made of. It is well known that silk is the best fabric to make beautiful dresses as it is very soft, delicate, and very classy. The silk is soft and comfortable and it also has an elegant look to it. You can choose from many different kinds of dresses made from silk and still achieve a quality look and feel in the overall look of the gown.
Florals make for a wonderful dress but when they are used in the wrong place you are missing out on something that looks fantastic. The beautiful designs that can be created when the flowers are chosen carefully and placed properly will reflect beauty in a dress or gown. The creative choices of arranging the flowers also provide a theme to the overall look of the dress.
Color is also an important aspect to look at when deciding on what colors will work best in the overall look of the dress. Black is often the color that is chosen for the most elegant and classic designs and can still be elegant in a casual evening dress. One of the most beautiful red gowns I have ever seen was that of Coco Chanel who made her infamous Versailles gown with red flowers throughout the sleeves. Red can also be used as a splash of color in the form of ribbons and sheer pieces for the dress to add to the beauty.
Powderpuff draping is another popular method for achieving the illusion of a great and beautiful dress. By placing small puffs of fabric along the hemline or around the skirt of the dress and using a sheer or lightweight material drapes and sometimes also glitters to give the illusion of snow and sparkle. The material of the drapes is the key to creating the effect and when the entire dress is not designed with this type of draping then the dress lacks the illusion of beauty and elegance.
Chiffon is one of the most gorgeous fabrics used for dressing and is also a very sophisticated and elegant fabric that are often paired with satin or silk. When the correct fashion trends are used then chiffon can be as beautiful as it is elegant. If it is done correctly then the colors can almost appear to flow together.
Zebra fabric is often used in the designing of beautiful dresses. It is soft and yet strong as a blanket and it is made with laces that allow it to drape so gracefully and be such a lovely fabric. The colors in a zebra gown are absolutely gorgeous and add beauty to the dress.
Cotton is another strong fabric that can be used to create a formal look with strong fabrics that will be able to withstand all types of weather. These fabrics also create beautiful designs and look beautiful with a formal style dress.
Kat Hodson is one of the greatest and most beautiful women to have graced the world of fashion and she was responsible for many gowns that look as stunning now as they did when she won the Miss Universe title. Her gown was created from a bold drape fabric with a leopard print that drapes beautifully to give a huge statement to the face of the dress.
