    How To Match Your Shirt and Tie




    Classic Combinations
    For an elegant and sophisticated look, white is the way to go. White shirts are the simplest of all shirts and also the easiest to dress up. A white shirt can essentially match with any color, or pattern tie for that matter. So, whether it is teaming a white shirt with a blue tie or a pink one or even a patterned violet, know for sure that you would end up looking vibrant any ways. On days when you are in a frantic hurry, it is always best to sport a white shirt with any tie and get set for a hard working day ahead.

    Solid Color Shirts

    For a man looking for a little bit of excitement in his wardrobe, a solid colored shirt is an excellent idea. A vibrant shirt adds depth to your appearance, which sadly is not present in a white shirt. The simple rule for matching a colored shirt to your tie is to match a contrasting color in the tie, to the color of the shirt. So say if you’re wearing a blue tie with pink strips, your shirt should be pink. Also, keep in mind that the colors of shirt and tie should match. However, you can use similar shades of the same color to create a really striking effect. Pairing a bottle green shirt with a light green tie or vice versa can be a really good combination.

    Striped/Checked Shirts
    While it is simple to match a self-colored shirt with a tie, problem arises when the shirts are striped or checked. Don’t get ballooned with the pattern of the shirt as the trick is to match it with either solid or patterned ties. If you are going for a solid color tie, try matching it with the color of the stripes on the shirt. This would create a striking visual effect, without being overly matching. You can also wear a patterned tie with a striped or checked shirt. However, just be sure that the pattern on the tie is always larger than the pattern on the shirt.

    The rule of the thumb that you should follow is to make sure that the pattern on the shirt is smaller and more subtle than the tie. This is because the tie is the decorative centerpiece of the outfit, where you want the attention to be centered. Also try to incorporate colors from the patterned shirt onto the patterned tie. For example, reversing the contrasting and main colors in the shirt on the tie can be a great option to explore. That is, if you are wearing a white shirt with blue dots, make sure you get hold of a tie which has big white dots on blue base. This contrasting effect would create a visual appeal, thereby giving you a striking and remarkable look.

    Night Out/ Party Shirt
    The biggest concern for day wear is to keep your outfit conservative and understated. However, when it comes to nightwear, try going bold with bright or jewel toned solid colors. This would go on to create a dramatic look that would be outstanding for a party or dinner. For an out-of-the-box look, go for a colored shirt with a patterned tie.

    Bleaching Clothes




    Know Your Clothes

    Not all clothes are bleach-friendly. You must try bleaching only those clothes which are made of fibers. Most natural fibres cannot take the stress of concentrated bleach and disintegrate in the bleaching process, if soaked for a long time. Some fabrics are also non-bleachable - like polyester. To test such fabrics, you need to do a patch test with a little of the diluted bleach solution and wait about 10 minutes to see if there is any change. The process of bleaching also depends upon the color of the fabric. Although the resultant color for white after bleaching will be a brighter white, under normal circumstances, the resultant color of any other shade cannot be known with similar surety.

    Sort Them Out
    While you can choose to bleach clothes, depending upon the bleach ability of their material and color, you must sort out white clothes separately from the others. The general idea of this article is to bleach white and since the result of bleaching whites is known, you can bleach all whites together. However, other colors have to be done separately from each other. Never use bleach on elastic or spandex type clothing.

    Diluting Is A Must
    Don’t even think about using concentrated bleach for the process. You will just end up burning, disintegrating or harming your clothes irreparably. Dilute the bleach as per the directions on the bottle or else take help of people who have some prior experience in doing it. Generally the diluting is done in the ratio of 4 drops in ½ bucket of water. But if it the solution is too mild, then you can opt for 5 drops as well. You can always check your clothes for the effect and add more bleach into the solution if you feel the need to do so.

    Never Stray
    The most important factor to be considered while bleaching clothes is directions. Generally most of the clothes you buy come with instructions on bleaching. You cannot just bleach clothes randomly. Follow the instructions given with the particular apparel that you intend to bleach. If such instructions are missing, then you must fall back on the bleach container’s label to ascertain what kind of clothes can it be used for and how. But even if that doesn’t work for you—because there are no relevant instructions at the back of the bottle—the best would be to do patch test at a very obscure spot in your fabric and see how it reacts to bleach.

    How to Pack a Wedding Dress Into a Travel Box



    A wedding dress should be protected in order to keep its shape, color and details intact. When traveling with the dress, take steps to pack it carefully to avoid wrinkles and tears and prevent crushing.

    Pack your wedding dress into a garment bag. As you are packing the wedding dress, make sure to place it evenly in the bag, without wrinkling or bunching any part of the dress as best you can.

    Stuff the sleeves of the dress -- if it has sleeves -- and the bodice of the dress with tissue paper that is free of acids or dyes. This ensures that the dress retains its shape and does not flatten in transit.

    Seal the garment bag. Fold it carefully and tuck it gently into a strong box for traveling. Make sure that the box does not bend or fold easily, as this may cause creases in the dress once it reaches its destination.

    Seal the box. If the box is strong enough, duct tape or packing tape should do the job. Do not use something like super glue, as you will want to be able to open the box once you have reached your destination.

    Pack the box with the dress inside the garment bag into a hard suitcase to ensure that nothing bends or breaks in transit. Carry the suitcase with you if you are flying -- check with your airline as to carry-on luggage sizing -- and tuck it into an overhead compartment. If you are traveling for your wedding or simply transporting your gown, you should always try to carry it on so you do not lose it. Wedding dresses are expensive and it would be disastrous to lose it before your big day.

    Label your suitcase clearly with your name, address and phone number. A luggage tag would work, but you might also consider writing this information on your suitcase in large letters with a silver or gold pen.

    Bridal Dress Styles



    One of the most anticipated tasks on your wedding checklist is selecting your bridal gown. If you're like many brides, you've picked out your dream dress years before meeting your fiancé. However, as the date nears and you select a theme for your event, you may realize that a tulle ball gown with a 14-foot train may not work for your summer beach wedding. Learn the different dress styles and choose the one that not only works best for your special occasion but for your personal style and body type.

    The Classic Bride

    If you consider your style to be more traditional than contemporary, you're likely to favor ball gowns and A-line styled dresses. These classic gowns have come a long way, as designers have added several options to the look, including appliqués, extensive beading and even pockets. A-line dresses with a fitted bodice and ruffled organza skirt give you a figure flattering alternative to a long flowy gown. An A-line flatters most body types, providing natural curves and dimension to your overall look. For a classic formal gown, try the princess cut ball gown in satin with a ruffled front organza underlay.

    Modern Bride

    If you don't particularly care for a gown that fits into any special type or group and are making plans for a modern wedding, choose a couture dress in a nontraditional pattern or fabric. A ball gown fully layered in tulle is a whimsical style that is perfect for an outdoor wedding. Consider a sweetheart neckline with a pick-up skirt or knee-length dress for a casual informal wedding. Other modern styles are those with a pleated bodice or asymmetrical design on either the bodice or skirting.

    Femme Fatale
    For a hot little number that will wow your fiancé and show off your curves, opt for a mermaid style or sheath dress. These figure-hugging styles will have all eyes on you as you reveal a super-low back line, plenty of cleavage with a fitted strapless or your waistline with a halter sheath. When you want to feel like a vixen walking down the runway --- aisle --- choose a gown that accentuates your positives with fitted flare.

    Drama Queen
    To make your guest's eyes drop when you enter the room, choose a dress that packs a powerful punch in the drama department. From an over-extended train to a taffeta ball gown with floral appliqués overpowering the entire skirt of the dress, choose something that matches your over-the-top personality. A one-shoulder gown with an abundance of draping will have you looking like a Greek goddess, as will a long empire dress with a slightly fitted bodice and backless design. Choose a dress with extra fabric, draping or pleating for a look that soars.
