Sherri Hill: April 2009 Archives

What does a girl have to wear to place in the Miss USA 2009 Top Ten? A fabulous Sherri Hill gown, of course. Eight of the Top Ten finishers shared their moment of glory with millions in a Sherri Hill gown at this year's long-awaited beauty pageant held at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 19. The top four finishers knew who to wear--including newly crowned winner Miss USA 2009, Kristen Dalton, from North Carolina.

Prom Dress Alterations

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
You adore your dress, but something's not quite right. Don't let the need to alter your dress halt the fun in prom preparation. Alterations are common and nothing to fret over. Tiza has the scoop on how to spot alteration needs and what you can do to make your gown hug you in all the right places.

When you try on your dress, do you feel squeezed anywhere? Do you lift your shoulders to keep the straps from falling? Do you have to hold up the train so you won't trip or do you see more than you should when you bend over? When you take the dress off, are there red marks anywhere? If any of this applies, that's your cue to consider alterations.

If you or someone you know can sew, and the alteration is simple, like taking up a few inches on a plain strap, you can easily do this at home. Make sure you have someone help you with measurements. Don't do this yourself. Consider the fabric. Not every fabric is easy to sew.

But, don't let your grandma tackle an intricate, rhinestone-embellished train that's a tad too long. Leave difficult, complex fabrics and designs to professionals. When choosing an alteration location, ask around. Have your friends had a good experience with a particular local seamstress? Don't just go anywhere. Get the facts.

When you find the right alteration place, ask about prices and experience. Have they done dresses before? Ask to see a work-in-progress. Also ask about guarantees. You deserve to get what you pay for, especially if the establishment advertises precision.

Don't let a slight problem cause panic. Alterations are your chance to stylize your dress and make it one-of-a-kind.

Sick of the same hairstyles? No need to stress over your tresses. If you want to spice up your hair, Tiza's here to give you an earful of hair hints for a hot new look.

For straight-haired ladies who want some curvy curls, use two different size curling iron barrels for realistically luscious ringlets. No two natural curls are ever the same size.

If you're wearing your hair down and straight and want to add some funk, braid or twist tiny bits of your hair in various lengths. Start some braids from the root and others halfway down the length of your hair. Hold in place with good hair spray or a bit of gel.

If you dig the braids, but want a girlier style, try braiding your hair in place of a headband. Decorate with pearl clips or appropriate flowers that could double as your corsage.

Add some pizzazz. Get creative with hair up or down with accessories. Try looping a small bit of those dangling bangs and clasping with a heart or star-shaped clip to keep them in place right above your temple.

Create your own constellation with mini rhinestone clips scattered through your updo. Or craft a half headband with mini clips in places you know hair will fall out of place.

Hats are hot. Especially paired with a simple, single-colored dress. Go vintage and sophisticated with silky ribbons and tulle. With just the right tilt, you'll be quite a couture catch.

Ponytails aren't just for pom squads and bad hair days. Go classy with a sleek ponytail that balances a super elaborate dress.

You can count on Tiza to jumpstart your creative juice. Pick a style and get going, girl!
