Welcoming 2009!

Before worrying about New Year’s resolutions… I’m thinking more about what I will put on December 31st and into the new year! My Boxing Day shopping was not extremely successful and I am still looking for the perfect outfit to welcome 2009. After some online shopping on the Betsey Johnson website where nothing seems to match with my vision of the perfect New Years Eve party dress, I remembered reading about websites where you can design you own design. What a better way to look fabulous than having a unique dress custom to your own tastes?!

The first website is dressbydesign.com

I do not really like the limited choice of very conservative designs offered, but after playing around for sometimes… you can come up with a decent design. I like that it is possible to zoom in to see the details of the materials on this website. It is also possible to send them your own fabric. You can select separately bust, waist and hips sizes to have a perfect fit!

The second site to visit is studio28couture.com

This website is longer to load (or maybe it’s my internet connection?!), but permit to create separately bustier, skirt and straps which give us almost perfect freedom in our design. As well, it is possible to assign different material to the different part of the dress… for instance the waist band can be a different color to accentuate an hourglass shape!

And my favourite is styleshake.com

This website offers an incredible variety of top shapes, skirt types and necklines (including the one shoulder style… which I personally really like)! I spent an hour and could of keep on going trying to find the best design for my “perfect dress” on this website! I finally chose a dark purple one shoulder mini and I’m still debating on whether or not to order it!

Have a great Holiday Break and see you all next year!
