Five ways to wear wraps:
Hanging wraps down.
This is the most classic, common and tremendous way to wear wraps. People let two ends of wraps symmetrically hang on shoulders and flow down naturally in front of chest.
Buttoning wraps.
People will let wraps round over shoulders and fold the ends in front of chest and then stitch a delicate brooch. This way is a little formal. You could also pull the joint to one shoulder or the back, which will make you more charming and show your own personality.
Wrapping wraps.
You could wear large square or wide long wraps or wraps with slits in this way. Just let wraps rounding around your shoulders and arms and it could present the feelings of ease, satisfactory and quietness.
Wearing wraps like capes.
You could wear large or semicircular wraps in this way. It will give others romantic feelings which could be produced with large square or wide long wraps. But you’d better not choose any wraps made of heavy fabrics.
Creative ways to wear wraps.
You could dress up with your imagination. You could make a tie, pin some flowers into wraps or just wear them aggressively.
Tips of matching wraps:
  1. Wraps will match better with strapless or spaghetti straps wedding dresses. They’d better be made of the same fabrics which can present the better matching effects.
  2. If wedding dresses are complicated, you need a simple wrap to match with it. Otherwise, you could wear a luxurious wrap.
  3. It could make brides more elegant and graceful when new prom dresses match with white or cream-colored wraps. While it could lengthen the proportions of brides figures if they choose some designed wraps.

A dress for Sarah the wedding guest virgin

wedding dresses
"Dear Outblush, One of my closest friends from college is getting married in August (Poughkeepsie, NY) and this is my first wedding that I will be attending since I was 7 and I'm completely at a loss as to what would be appropriate! I've scoured the malls since May and I can't seem to find anything! The ceremony is going to be at 3pm with a reception that will go into the night so I'll need something that can be worn both during the day and night. The invitation did not mention a specific dress code, but knowing Rebecca it definitely is not black or white tie. I'd like to buy something that I'll be able to wear again and if it can make my former college boyfriend's jaw drop while looking like Grace Kelly all the better!
Here's the skinny:
1. I'm 5'2" (33-24-33) and usually a 0 or 2 depending on brand sizing
2. Maximum budget: $150 (maybe $200 if it's a classic investment)
3. I'd like something that would be flattering to my shape and about knee length. Probably something that would define my waist; preferably not strapless, but I won't rule it out; maybe something with a v-neck? I definitely do not want something black, brown, navy, or extremely dark. I fell in love with this dress's watercolor floral pattern, but I can't find it in my size. My old roommates used to tell me that my style is classic and girly. I shop at J. crew and Kate Spade the most often.
I know this is super last minute, but if you could help I'd be over the moon! Thanks again. "
Dearest Sarah! Carlota here and I'd love to help you! Weddings are awesome and I'm so excited you want to wear color! You'll actually stand out in the sea of black at the reception. And all of these styles will transition very well from ceremony to reception. Since you loved a watercolor dress, I've chosen a few dresses with pretty watercolor prints in all different silhouettes as well as other blue prom dresses. Hope this helps! And have a great time at the wedding!
