December 16, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Strapless dresses are the rage all over the world. Every fashionista whos trying to make a mark on the fashion circuit is willing to slip into the strapless dress which kind of spells style from the word go.

However not everyone can look cool in a strapless outfit. There are various kinds of body fits available in this category of fashion attire.

First and foremost if you happen to be bit by the bug of getting into a strapless number by hook or by crook there are certain points to ponder on while deciding to go for the right strapless dress.

The most important thing to invest in before deciding on a strapless number is the strapless bra. Make sure to get a long line strapless one so as to get the perfect up tight look and feel. The bust line is the ultimate focus in a strapless dress so care should be taken to create a less heavy look up there.

Remember, if one has a heavy bust line it is extremely important to try out the dress before investing in it. The trick is to swing the hands from side to side after trying on the dress on to see if there is no uncomfortable forceful stretching involved. The dress should fit perfectly giving the bosom a firm fit.

Next in focus should be the skirt. The fall of the fabric should look natural and women with that extra bit of flab around the hip area should be very careful to pick the right fabric that helps in reducing those extra pounds. Avoid picking sheer fabrics if you happen to be heavier on the hips.

Now with the dress set, pick some great stilettos that might be matching or in direct contrast to the color of the gown. Never wear too much jewelry with a strapless number. Avoid heavy neck pieces; rather opt for great earrings and a clutch to complete the look.
