Drezzee-ing Up

Fashion Tips from a Certified Fashionista

Girls will be girls! We all want to look and feel good of course not just for our husbands, boyfriends or crushes, but more importantly for our very selves. Shopping mall, salon and spa are the three favorite places that an average girl would love to regularly visit. It is always a fun experience to have a new haircut or get our nails done or receive a full body massage. And as for me, no matter how much I want to stay as simple as possible, I can’t help but admit that I love dressing myself up even once in a while.

Following the latest beauty trends is not a laid-back hobby. Trendsetters say if you want to be on your toes with fashion, you must have the right amount of time and resources. But putting on a dressy outfit does not necessarily have to be unimaginably high-priced. Go for sophisticated brands like Drezzee, which has a line of fabulously detailed and close-fitting gowns and cocktail dresses. And to achieve that perfect sexy look, listen to Drezzee owner and fashion stylist, Cherrie G. Cariaga, as she shares some tricks and tips on how to fit perfectly in a gown.

• Flat chest. Go for gushy textures and request built-in pads for your gowns to add volume to the bust line. Do not be afraid to wear gowns with plunging necklines; they actually look classy and attractive (but not suggestive) to women with flat chest.


• Full-size chest. Dress in off-shoulder gowns which would perfectly complement your asset.


• Big bones. Put on gowns with built-in corsets and girdles to tighten your waist and highlight your curves.


• Weighty arms. Wear gowns with nice sleeves for cover up.


• Short legs. Choose dresses that are few inches above the knees to maintain an attractive figure.


• Round built. Slip into dark-colored gowns that would make you look slim.

According to Cherrie, tube remains to be the most in demand cut when it comes to gowns. Girls want to flaunt their assets, and close-fitted tube gowns highlight the silhouette of the body. Soft textured and lingerie-type garments are also in, while the fashion style of the 80s which is more on volume and details is back on stage. Fashion themes excitingly change annually, but for now check out what you must have in your closet:

• Pencil cut skirts
• Asymmetrical tops
• Jumpsuits
• 80’s belts
• Maxi dresses
• Baby doll dresses
• Empire cut dresses

A made-to-order gown will cost P3,500 to 25,000.To order gowns from Drezzee by Cherrie G. Cariaga, view ad. (Myka Santiago)
