Keep your look fresh, modern and simple with dresses that can be re-accessorized and used over and over again.
MODEST HEMLINES MAKE AN APPEARANCE
The dresses that make up the After Six collection share a taste for modesty and simple style. In hems, this expresses itself through the use of knee-length skirts and a few full-length gowns, each of which balances its respective bodice and flatters the wearer. The knee-length hem is re-imagined with a combination of empire and natural waist lines, always helping to elongate the figure and make the torso seem full and well-balanced. The longer hems brush the floor, hiding any view of the feat, with the exception of the Straight Bust Gown with Low Slit by After six 6578, which features a knee-length slit. The sensuality expressed through these modest hems is classy and well-planned, with just enough skin showing to tease without revealing inappropriate amounts of skin. This makes this collection a great choice for sweet sixteens, proms, and formal family events.
ACCESSORIZING ACROSS THE BOARDS
The single solid color theme of the After Six collection means it’s possible to go a little wild when it comes to choosing accessories. The dresses carried in this collection are available in many colors, so as long as you choose a purse or pair of shoes that features the same shade – or a complimentary one – you can match almost anything with these looks! For something dramatic, choose bags and shoes made of patterned fabrics, or go simple with plain flats in basic shades, as pictured. The knee-length dresses can be coupled with bags and jackets, in many cases creating great day-to-night looks, and the full length gowns accommodate the use of jackets and shawls in cooler weather.
CLASSIC SILHOUETTES WITH MODERN TWISTS
The classic look of After Six dresses from this collection harks back to silhouettes from earlier decades. The sweet, full-featured looks from the forties and fifties compliment the more mature and conservative taste, while younger wearers will enjoy the flourishes – the bands of ruffles, the sweeping drape of a skirt. Each of the silhouettes, whether it features an hourglass figure or a straight, body-skimming construction, shows a new way in which the female form can be beautiful; the ageless grace in these looks cannot be over-emphasized. The busts are created in straight lines and the occasional sweetheart or v neck, and each of them helps to render a timeless feeling. Wear these dresses through multiple seasons, knowing they will be both trendy and of-the-moment, and lasting when you bring them out again next year.
STYLING YOUR HAIR FOR AN AFTER SIX DRESS
If you pay attention to things like style, then you’ll know that half the effect of any look comes from the merger of hair, makeup and wardrobe! Make sure your hair is doing its part by thinking ahead about how you want to look on you r big night. Thanks to their timeless appeal, the After Six dresses in our collection can be worn with any number of hair styles. If you want the overall effect to be modern and edgy, then think about rocking a wilder look for your locks. Or, keep things classic with a style that recalls the thirties, forties and fifties. You’ll be impressed with the way you can continually freshen up these dresses through changes in the tiniest details of your presentation! Make sure you pick a style that will hold in your hair all evening, and have the appropriate supplies on hand – or make sure that your hairdresser does. There’s nothing worse than planning the perfect look then being undermined by a lack of the right products.
COLOR, TEXTURE AND THE AFTER SIX DRESS
The fabrics that make up the After Six dresses in this collection are rich and luxurious, the best on offer for those who need special looks to last them a lifetime. The smooth, glossy fabrics can set the undertones of your own skin alight, bringing out your inner glow. Compliment this through making sure your skin is properly moisturized before your big night and you’ll present the perfectly put together image you’ve been dreaming of to the world! Find ways to emphasize your features, using a satiny fabric to bring across the rich color of brown, green or blue eyes. Finally, change up the style of your accessories based on what kind of texture runs through the design of your gown. For example, the No More Tiers Party Dress by After Six 6584 can be paired with ruffled or otherwise embellished accessories thanks to its own weight and body!
