hi leyn,

hi! i know u’ve been receiving mails about graduation, mine is one of those but pls help me.

my graduation is coming (masteral graduation) & its one of the occasions i hate most! I don’t want to wear dresses. i’m not comfortable but since its graduation no choice. i must wear dress.

but this is the problem, i’m not comfortable because i dont have the body, legs & skin to show. wala talaga akong confidence to wear dresses more so with a cocktail dress! i have a terrible shape of legs & kelangang itago. so i chose to wear long dress, off white daw color namin. i’m not wearing sleeveless kc ang laki ng braso ko and uneven ang tone. (huhuhu. wawa naman ako no? dmi problem. =(

kaya im begging you. pls help me choose the right one for me & the one that i will be comfortable & confident. i’m 5 feet & medyo malaman (120lbs). pakisama na rin ang babagay na shoes for that dress.

thank you so much in advance & God bless you always so you could help/enlighten more people.

it’s me,
Cel

Dear Cel,

I know this is kind of bit hard for you but don’t worry, every problem has its matching solution. Obviously, you seem very conscious with your figure so I won’t force you to wear clothes that you might not be comfortable with. If your first choice is a long dress then stick to the idea, we can consider this a formal event anyway.

Since you have already set boundaries with the style of dress you want (not cocktail and no to sleeveless) then you only have limited choices specially that you’re required with a color theme. The challenge now is to look for a quality dress with quality fabric and fits right on your body.

When we say long dresses, first thing we think of are straight styles that may not be appropriate with your shape and balloon skirt gowns don’t fit the occasion. So I recommend dresses with volume, drapes and asymmetric cut – a flowing dress to make it simple. Go with thin fabric/texture but make sure it doesn’t have too much folds and creases.

I understand that you don’t plan to wear sleeveless but the dress’ design cited below is a good sample of flowing dress.

Drapes and pleats can hide flabs. Avoid plain straight maxi dresses.

You may be weirded out by asymmetric clothes but their shapeless style doesn’t require perfect curves.

So your next problem is WHERE to buy the dress. I suggest you should do your window shopping by now. There are mid-class stores that sell different formal dresses in department stores (try to browse some previous posts, I don’t want to mention too much brands because I’m not paid to endorse. lol.)

About the shoes, wear at least mid-heels sandals or platforms. Spot for black or any neutral colors like these:

Remember, you may not have the ideal shape but that shouldn’t be a reason to limit yourself with fashion. Try to update your clothes little by little, don’t be in a hurry.

And don’t panic okay. :)

Love Lots,

Leyn

Hi everyone,

Just so you know, my host’s email is acting weird every now and then so last week (i think), some letters were auto removed from my inbox and deleted letters were retrieved. I apologize if I wasn’t able to reply on particular letters for prom hairstyle and wedding theme. Geez. ;(

Graduation Dress

hi leyn :P
wenk feeling close. haha.
i really like your posts, lalo na yung mga jologs pictures. thankfully sa friendster pose lang ako guilty. wahaha :D anyway, im graduating from college sa march, and i was wondering if you could help me pick the right dress and shoes and give me an idea on the right hair and makeup. im 5′4, 108 lbs. long hair, fair skin, chinita. 7am-12nn yung grad namin, so malamang sa oo e ako na lang mag me-make up sa sarili ko. :O ayun. thank you in advance :)

Hey there,

Don’t worry because most people who visit my site are up to the jologs ideas because everyone can relate, including me of course. I remember during my graduation, we were making fun of some girls who wore dresses longer than their toga. (Yes, I’m one of the mean girls back then. Lol.) Anyhow, because you’re graduating from college then I guess you’ll be in a black graduation gown. Let’s start from there.

You may think that it doesn’t matter whether you wear a spaghetti, tube, off-shoulder or with sleeves dress because you’ll be in a toga. But to avoid fixing your graduation attire all the time, pick a sleeveless or spaghetti strap type. A simple and straight cocktail dress is enough.

For shoes, wear the classic black pumps but not the common school shoes. It’s fine for you to wear sandals but it depends on your taste. I just find closed shoes apt for this occasion because it looks more sophisticated.

On your graduation day, everyone will look alike because of the standard toga. That’s why your look rely upon on your hair and make-up. Common sense na your hairstyle should be minimal because of the cap. So if you’re not hiring someone to do your styling, it’s either you do the soft curls or low-back up do hairstyle.

For make-up, quit the red lipstick and smoky eyes then stick with the natural shades. It won’t be hard for you to choose the right colors because you have fair skin. Concentrate on your lashes and practice putting on eyeliner and mascara for your chinky eyes. Contour your cheeks to add shadows and avoid a flat-looking make-up. Also bring a handy peach lip gloss for retouches. Here are some inspirations:

Lastly, don’t forget to wear elegant earrings. A pair of pearls or gold with gems can change your boyish aura to a classy chick.

Enjoy your graduation and congratulations!

Love Lots,

Prom Fashion for Petite Girls

Filed under shoes, teens

first time ko lang magsulat dito, and i’m really hoping for your help para sa js prom namin. i’m very short, almost 4′8” lang height ko, medyo chubby din ako pero ok lang naman. i have my curves and di din ako flat chested. i can’t decide about the style, those dresses i found in the net are all appropriate for model-like girls. what type of dress can help me look taller, and how many inches of heels should i wear? i also want  to show off some skin, i don’t want to look so conservative. thanks in advance, more power. :)

-xoxo, F

Dear F,

I get that your main issue is your height but good thing that you’re willing to wear any style for that night. I’m going to make this short for you. Take in mind some helpful hints about fashion for fuller bodies when buying the dress:

  • Mini length skirts/dresses can highlight the shortness of your legs so pick the 1-inch-above-knee or knee-length style when you plan to wear a short dress.
  • Wearing high heels is the most convenient way to make you look taller. I just have to warn you that heels may feel uncomfortable after a couple hours so buy cushioned shoes to avoid swelling feet. Some girls can stand wearing 5-inches heels, which is better, but you can wear at least 3″.
  • Avoid fabrics that are prone to creases and folds particularly on your bust and abdomen part.

Dress
You have to accept that 4′8″ height is really short and even though you’ll be particular with the gown’s length, that’s not enough to make yourself seem lofty. So I recommend that you simply have to think of a fashion that’d make you look catchy and classy instead of pressuring yourself to appear elongated. Why not try balloon gowns like the ones I’ve mentioned on a previous post.

Since you’re cosy wearing any sort of dress, a tube dress would be fine especially if the skirt is flowing, ruffled or layered. Wear a girdle inside your gown and flaunt your curves and bust line. It’s acceptable if you wear a long gown but I think a short cocktail dress is better to expose your legs and high heels shoes.

Shoes
Instead of trying hard to be tall, just concentrate on selecting a fashionable pair. Wearing 5″ shoes is okay but you might not enjoy the night if you’re not used with wearing super high heels. Avoid ankle shoes because it gives a division between your legs and feet. Pick flashy colored mules like red or cobalt. Below are sample of stunning heels though they measure 5”.

Don’t get intimidated by the gowns worn by models on the internet because they may possibly look good on you when you fit the pieces in actual. The best way to find the right dress is window shop. You can also check some of my past answers for Prom Dress ideas.

More power din. Hehe.

Love Lots,

Leyn
