Bold Stripes win if you don’t mind clashing with other guests and like to stand out.

Contoured Piping wins if you want to accent your curves.

Fluorescent Colour Blocking vs. Golds and Greens

(From the left: Jenni Kayne and Vera Wang)

Flourescent Colour Blocking wins if you’re going for a figure-flattering Mod look.

Golds and Greens win if you’re a self-proclaimed “earth mother” or just love looking like a woodland nymph.

Leather Accents vs. Lace Overlays

Leather Accents win if you’re going for a tough and sexy look. Try pairing the leather piece with a softer or lighter fabric. If you haven’t worn that leather skirt in a while, check out our Suede & Leather Cleaning services!

Lace Overlays win if you’re going for a soft and sexy look. Be sure you’ve got the right fit or you’ll be playing neckline or hemline peek-a-boo all night!
