By the way, the two color joint lace effect is wildly used in 2013 spring collections.

Trend 2: Simple Shape
In 2012, various designers present a collection of prom dresses in full details. Layers upon layers, elaborately made ruchings, twinkling sequins and intricate structures. When it comes to 2013, the designers seems to pay more attention on the stunning silhouette of the wearers herself. Simple cut and fluent lines accurately accentuate the shape. Wise decorations break the monotony.

Modern girls should be more independence, smart and cool. So in 2013, various designers introduce their short designs to the public. From knee-length to six feet length, from traditional bubble skirts to modern cocktail dresses .Meanwhile, those dresses may combine some inspirations from the office lady suits.

Transparent gauzy fabric is another trend for the next season. On account of the new technology, more and more designers tend to adopt the transparent designs.

Native American Wedding Culture

Native American Wedding Culture

Apache bride
The indigenous peoples of the Americas have varying traditions related to weddings and thus wedding dresses. A Hopi bride traditionally would have her garments woven by the groom and any men in the village who wished to participate. The garments consisted of a large belt, two all-white wedding robes, a white wedding robe with red stripes at top and bottom, white buckskin leggings and moccasins, a string for tying the hair, and a reed mat in which to wrap the outfit. This outfit also would serve as a shroud, since these garments would be necessary for the trip through the underworld.
A Pueblo bride wore a cotton garment tied above the right shoulder, secured with a belt around the waist.
In the traditions of the Delaware, a bride would wear a knee-length skirt of deerskin and a band of wampum beads around her forehead. Except for fine beads or shell necklaces, the body would be bare from the waist up. If it were a winter wedding, she would wear deerskin leggings and moccasins and a robe of turkey feathers. Her face would be painted with white, red and yellow clay.
The tribes of Northern California (which include the Klamath, the Modoc and the Yurok) had a traditional bridal dress woven in symbolic colors: white for the east, blue for the south, yellow (orange) for the west; and black for the north. Turquoise and silver jewelry were worn by both the bride and the groom in addition to a silver concho belt. Jewelry was considered a shield against evils including hunger, poverty and bad luck.

Long Torso Tankini Swimsuits

Long Torso Tankini Swimsuits

Like many women, I must admit that Swimsuit Season is my LEAST favorite season of the year. This is partially due to the fact that I am 5' 11" and find it extremely difficult to find swimsuits to fit my tall torso. One piece suits are simply not long enough for me: the shoulder straps are so tight they force me to stoop, and the cups fall several inches short of where they're supposed to be. I apologize for the visual that must give you! A solution for some tall women might be to sport an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini or other minimalistic attire. Having given birth to four children, my tummy-baring days are long gone. Thankfully, there is a compromise! Enter the long torso tankini!!! With a long torso tankini swimsuit, women can have the coverage of a one piece while having the height flexibility of a two-piece.

Long Torso tankinis are hard to find in stores

I can't think of anything worse to do than spending an entire Saturday driving from store to store trying on swimsuits that don't fit. Most stores carry a variety of one-piece and bikini options for the average-sized woman, but it is extremely difficult for me walk into a store and find a long torso tankini.

Thankfully, we live in the era of the internet, and there are many cute and sexy long torso tankini separates online! It might be a little scary to buy a swimsuit online since you can't try it on beforehand, but most retailers provide sizing charts to help you find the perfect fit just by taking a few quick measurements yourself.

Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist (usually near your navel).
Hips: (For Tankini bottoms) Measure around the fullest part of your hips

You might also be able to order your long torso tankini top by your bra size, so have that handy, too.

Prom 2013 Dress Option

Prom 2013 Dress Option:

The Two-piece

Girls all across the world are trying to tip the scale and go for an edgier look every prom season. In doing this they intend to have a dress that dominates the catwalk and red carpet. This season the two piece prom dress is resting gracefully at the top of that scale. The great aspect to wearing a two-piece dress is the fact that you can personalize it to your liking. Although you're able to customize many different types of dresses, the two-piece dress can be mismatched and worn with different things. Most two-piece dresses come with a corset, so let's just say you're going out for a night on the town; well, you can wear that same corset with a pair of jeans or another trendy skirt. Convertible dresses, or dresses that have detachable skirts, are basically the same as a two-piece dress. Two-piece and convertible dresses provide the wearer with more for their money because they are able to wear parts of their dress on several different occasions. Also, it is better to buy an actual two-piece dress, as opposed to trying to make one from scratch, because it will flow better together. The two-piece dress has come to prominence thanks to performers like Janet Jackson, Britney Spears and Shakira who constantly rock the bare-midriff style. Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus can often be seen on the red carpet wearing two-piece dresses. This fun and youthful trend borrows from the style of the mid 80's when celebrities were seen rocking this style using cut-off sweatshirts. Eventually, pants began to get lower and lower and shirts began to get higher. Pants and shirts were slowly but surely running away from each other, so to speak. When you begin your search for your two-piece dress, consider how your midsection looks. You don't want to be dancing while your belly button is hanging over your skirt. If your stomach is not as tight as you'd like, then consider choosing a corset top because they will hold you in better. Parents tend to be hesitant when it comes to the two piece dress because of the amount of skin being exposed but the newer two-piece dress styles tend to show less skin. They usually consist of a fitted top and long, flowy skirts. Prom goers are no longer only wearing long, ball gowns to proms; they are opting for a more glamorous and clubby feel. These kinds of dresses are easier to dance in and provide the wearer with a freer feeling. Ultimately, it's your prom night so you decide what type of footprint you want your presentation to leave.

Plus-Size Model Robyn Lawley Debuts A Swim Collection To Flatter Your Every Curve

When Ralph Lauren named Robyn Lawley as its first plus-size wedding dresses model, everyone was up in arms. To many she wasn��t ��plus-size enough�� �� being that Lawley stands at an Amazonian 6��2�� and wears a size 12 �� while others were excited to see a model above a size 0 or 2 featured in a Ralph Lauren advert at all. Regardless of the plus-size debate, we were thrilled to see another beautiful, curvier woman added to an otherwise thin lineup of fashion models. So, when Lawley announced she had designed a swim line specifically for the curvier body, we knew it would be a hit. While the line is initially launching in only sizes eight through 18, Lawley plans to extend the range both above and below those sizes, providing the collection is a success. With luxe, high-end fabric and gorgeous prints and colors, Lawley��s collection is sure to make a splash.
