How To Choose A Kimono Dress

Hi, I'm Zoe Lem, stylist and owner of My Sugarland, and today I'm going to give you some insider's tips on how to do fashion. So I'm now going to show you how to choose a kimono dress. So, two different ways to go, you can either go for something that's very very authentic and go very very in theme.

It's going to look a bit out of place over here. So, the best way to go is to go for a kimono style dress. It's got the wrap over.

It's nipped in, and it's got the feel of the sleeves, but it's not an actual kimono. It's a flattering shape because generally a wrap dress is really good for hourglass, for straight up and down, and actually to give shape to a pear shape, to give the balance, to give the balance through the shoulders. So, a very good dress for both day and night, A-line, nips in underneath the bust, women's smallest bit, flattering through here, cut through the bust, so if you've got bigger bust, again chopped though, so a really great shape, and the print on this, and the satin.

This is actually this is basic parlor, and this is actually a vintage sari, so the shine in this fabric lifts the face. So it's a really great color, and a really great shine. Because this is getting a little bit closer to the face, whatever you wear here is going to reflect and brighten the eyes.

A-line, the balance, the color is really important when you're choosing a kimono. This is a great dress if you've got brown or green eyes because it's really warm earthy colors. If you've got blue eyes, then going for purples or deep blues and jewely tones is really good.

Keep away from cold colors. Keep them warm. Keep them jewely, and they'll be much more flattering, because there's a lot of fabric, a lot of fabric through the arms, a lot of fabric close to the face, and that's going to make quite a difference to whether it suits you.

And keep it nipped in, high and underneath the bust. And that's the way to choose the perfect kimono. .
