"Originating on the West Coast, the tulle skirt trend is making its way across the U.S. according to Google searches. Consumers are seeking this skirt in all colours of the rainbow, but the most popular colours are the classics: black and white." - thinkwithgoogle.com


Fashion Studio Magazine selected three stylish dresses for your ultimate night out!




A Touch of Gold

You can never go wrong with gold.

It is an elegant colour that adds rich texture to classic designs like A-line dresses, pencil skirts, and tailored trousers. Being a very distinctive and eye-catching colour itself, gold doesn't need a lot of accessories. If you are wearing a statement piece in gold, try to keep the rest of your outfit simple.

Fashion Fact: An A-line skirt is universally flattering for all body types.

DID YOU KNOW?

Purple embodies the balance of red’s stimulation and blue’s calm. With a sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple is a colour often well liked by very creative or eccentric types. Purple was the colour of the first dye made by man. It was called “Mauveine” and was made out of coal tar. The recipe was discovered by William Henry Perkin in 1856.

How purple affects us physically: uplifts, calms the mind and nerves, offers a sense of spirituality, encourages creativity.

A BIT OF HISTORY

Tulle has been around for more than three centuries.

"This versatile fabric was named for the city of Tulle, France where it was first made. The French began knitting a hexagonal mesh fabric around 1700. In 1840, Queen Victoria's wedding gown featured tulle for the first time, forever linking the fabric to bridal fashion. Nineteenth century fashion designer Frederic Worth introduced the veiled hat. Tulle enjoyed a resurgence in the 1950s in formal gowns for teens going to the prom, brides and bridesmaids." - ehow.com
