How to Buy a Knit Dress


If you are looking for a unique and one of a kind type of dress to wear for any occasion, check out how a knit dress can benefit you.

Knit dresses have been around for years dating back to the early beginnings of stitchwork and knitting clothing with cottage industries. Such dresses are available in a variety of colors depending on the thread used, and a variety of designs all dependent upon the knitter. If you are in the market for a such dress, but are unsure of where to shop for one, check out both locally with clothing and thrifts stores, as well as the vast marketplace that is the internet.

The first thing you want to do when shopping for anything is to set a budget. Create a limit on how much you can afford to spend on your knit dress, as well as create a base idea of what colors and designs you are looking for. The more variables you have decided upon before you buy, the quicker the buying process. Once you have a budget and basic design settled upon, you can take a look either locally or online to begin the purchasing process.


The best place to shop for a knit dress locally is through large clothing providers. Clothing stores that are stocked with all types of clothes from casual to formal, and from men's to women's, are much higher in likelihood to carry such dresses. Besides a large clothing store, you can check into thrift stores in your local area, as well as a flea market. Knit dresses aren't as common as cotton made shirts and denim jeans, but with a little research and by making a few calls you can find a perfect dress in your local area.


If you are unable to find a knit dress that suits you in your local area, you can always turn to the internet and its vast marketplace. When buying online the first thing you want to do is a basic search in a search engine into sellers of knit dresses. This search will give you a baseline of sellers to choose from. Once you have a list to choose from, you can begin going through their inventory until you find the knit dress suited to your specifications. When buying online, it is important to always check the reliability of the website before you send in any form of payment or personal information.


Overall if you are looking for a unique fashion piece for both casual and formal wear, check out what your local clothing stores, and the internet have to offer in the form of a knit dress.

Hawaiian Designs

Hawaii reminds us of the glorious beaches and Hula dancers dressed in colorful flowers. This theme can also be applied to nail art designs. However, these designs are not very simple. These are suited for those who have a good hand at painting. If you have a skillful hand, you could paint beaches, waves, surfers and Hula dancers on the nails. For those of you who cannot manage to paint these complicated pictures, you could still bring Hawaii on your nails by painting bright flower rings and garlands of your finger nails. You could even paint figures of people in black and then adorn them with colorful flower tiaras and garlands.

Animal Designs Nail Art

Tiger, Zebra and Dalmatian designs are quite popular among the animal nail art designs. For the tiger skin nail design, apply a yellow acrylic basal coat. Apply it twice for a thicker and better finish. Then apply smudges of orange color on the nail at different areas. After it dries paint thick zig zag lines using black acrylic paint. The zig zag pattern should be thick at the base and tapering towards the other end. And the patterns must be in alternating fashion. Thich means, if one base is thick, the stripe next to it should be tapering and so on. For a Zebra design, you could do the same by applying white acrylic paint as the basal coat and then paint stripes of black. The stripes of Zebra are not like the Tiger, so paint thinner ones. Have some stripes in one direction and some in the other to make it look like Zebra stripes. You could even add some glitter to make it look more attractive. To create a Dalmatian design, just paint smudges of black paint on a white base.

Marine Life Nail Art Designs

For marine life designs, you would require blue acrylic paint and a bit of white acrylic paint for the base coat. Apply transparent varnish onto the blue sea-like coat and then paint tiny fish on the nails. Using green paint, you could draw thin weeds through which the fish are swimming around. A slight touch of a darker shade of green along with the green on the weeds, would give it natural look. A few pebbles can be painted at the base with brown and white paint. Apart from the fish design, you could even consider painting star fish and tiny seahorses on the nails. Whales and dolphins are other good options.

Snow Nail Art Designs

You need a shiny metallic shade of nail polish which would serve as the base coat. Take white acrylic paint and by using a thin brush paint a dot on the nail. From this dot, paint 8 lines or spikes, extending from the dot in a circular fashion. Where the spikes end, draw two more spikes, something like one spike branching into another. So you will have a snow flake. You can also paint half snowflakes on the edges of the nails, and to give it a more attractive look, you could also paint one of the snowflakes in blue. In case you do not have metallic nail polish, you could even use blue acrylic paint for the basal coat. However, you will have to use white paint for the snowflakes.

French cleaning nail

Professional women, such as jewelry saleswomen, whose work makes their hands and nails visible all day, benefit from the immaculate look of perfectly clean French manicures. Your nails cannot appear more clean than they do with 100% white tips.

to Make a French Manicure Last Longer

Too much white on tips "cuts off" your
nailbeds and makes your fingers look stubby
(and less natural).

At the other end of the spectrum, instead of thick tips,
some girls prefer "Discrete French Manicures." These
have very thin tips. You can take this idea even further
towards minimalism and paint them even thinner than
in the above pic so they are barely noticeable. The subtle
style is nice but it is more likely to get chipped.

Long Sleeved Dresses

The Long and Short of Long Sleeved Dresses

Wedding dresses are becoming more trendy these days. Not long ago, long sleeved dresses were considered the most appropriate for weddings. But of late, dresses with short sleeves, spaghetti straps or those that are sleeveless are definitely getting more popular. Many brides now seem to prefer baring their arms. However, a long sleeve wedding dress is still a good option. Now why would anyone want to have a long sleeve wedding dress?

Classic History
Wedding dresses have been around for as long as weddings themselves. In the olden days, long sleeved dresses were the only option that women had when it came to choosing a dressing style for their weddings. Modesty was given top priority in medieval times which mandated women to cover their arms completely. Some sleeves were even long enough to cover the fingers. Since these styles were popular in the olden times, they were considered more of a fashion statement rather than being looked upon as being overly conservative. Materials such as velvet and damask were used to show off a person's wealth. Trimmings of silk and satin were added to make the dress look grander. Some dresses even had their sleeves touching the floor. So in one way, it was more to do with fashion rather than looking modest.


Modern Elegance
A contemporary long sleeved wedding dress need not resemble medieval attire however. In fact, long sleeved dresses today can look trendy and at the same time project a modest and ladylike image of the bride wearing them. These dresses can truly bring out a form of elegance that short-sleeved dresses rarely can.


Basic Purpose
One of the basic strategies of good clothing design is to draw attention away from those parts of the body that are not quite in shape and to redirect them to other areas that one is more proud of. For instance, if a person's hips are too bulky or too thin, they can wear long sleeved dresses to draw attention away from those problem areas to the arms and upper body instead. These dresses are also an ideal solution for women with bigger arms or square shoulders.


Modern Modesty
Some brides would like to give top priority to modesty and prefer to choose long sleeved dresses. But such dresses need not look old fashioned. Instead, to add a very modern look to the dress, the sleeves can be made of a much lighter mesh material than the other parts of the dress. The neckline can also be altered according to the bride's preference to make it look trendier.


For All Seasons
If the wedding is in winter, one might prefer to use the same material for the bodice as well as the sleeves to feel warm. But that does not mean that long sleeved dresses are only appropriate for winter. They can be worn in summer as well, but probably the sleeves can be shortened to a 3/4 length. Lighter materials like organza or chiffon can be used when the wedding is scheduled during warmer weather.
