1. Decide on Formality: Usually the event invitation will clue you into the formality of the event, whether it's casual or black tie. But sometimes even that will cause confusion (short dress or long?)

In general, the later in the day the event (after 6 p.m.), the dressier. Long dresses are usually reserved only for formal (black tie) occasions.

While some fabrics are year-round -- silk, brocade, organza, jersey -- fabrics like velvet and gold spangles are best reserved for winter holidays.

Dress Code Definitions: Black Tie, etc.

2. Flatter Your Figure: The most important feature of your new dress is how well it flatters you.

Remember that darker colors and simple cuts (a sheath, an A-line) are the most flattering.

Show off your best feature. If you have gorgeous eyes, then play them up with beautiful makeup, off-the-face hair and jeweled earrings in a complimentary shade.

Not sure what your best asset is? Ask a friend or significant other. Or go to a store that sells special occasion dresses and enlist the salesperson's help.

Dresses for Every Body Type

3. Choose a Color: You could just wear a little black dress (classy, flattering and slenderizing), but why not explore some of the other dressy options?

Red, bold prints, even gold are dramatic enough for evening wear. Pastels, mid-range brights and soft prints look great for dressy day occasions.

Blue (from navy to royal), pink (from cotton candy to fuchsia) and white (from candlelight to cream) look great on almost everyone. Remember that the "Don't wear white to a wedding" wisdom is still considered a fashion don't by most women.

4. Pick a Style: Catalogs, the internet and magazines are a great places to seek special occasion dress inspiration.

Instead of going with something trendy, try to find a dress that reflects classic, timeless elegance. Remember that you'll have to look at photos of you in the dress for years to come.

Classic special occasion dresses are often deceptively simple, but they usually let the beauty of the wearer shine through. A few examples: the little black dress (a.k.a the cocktail dress), a goddess gown (draped and rouched), a ballgown, a slip dress.

5. Shop: Set a budget before shopping. Special occasion dresses usually cost more than $100, but if you comparison shop you can find one that works in your price range.

Shop secondhand stores and sales to save even more money on a dress.

If you shop in a store, dress for the day by bringing along heels, any special accessories you know you want to use and a strapless bra.

When shopping online, make sure you understand both the sizing (know your measurements and check against a size chart on the site) and the return policy (some stores don't take returns on dresses.)

Prom and Occasion Dresses

6. Accessorize: The trimmings will take their cue from the dress, but for special occasions your jewelery usually gets bigger and your bag and shoes get smaller (as in strappy sandals).

Although you may want to add tons of glitz, remember that you can kill a look with too much matchy-matchy accessorizing. Find earrings, necklace and bracelet that compliment each other without being a matching set.

If your legs aren't perfect enough to go bare need camouflage and you don't like to wear leg makeup, then opt for super-sheer hose or fishnets.

Memperbaiki penampilan dengan injeksi Botox (botulinum toxin) dan suntikan serupa lainnya sebaiknya pikir ulang seribu kali lagi menyusul kasus 16 kematian dan masalah serius lainnya setelah racun botulinum menyebar di seluruh tubuh, demikian sebuah peringatan yang datang dari sekelompok konsumen di AS.

Public Citizen meminta pihak berwenang di AS untuk menerapkan peringatan keras, termasuk meng-highlight dalam sebuah kotak hitam atas Botox dari Allergan Inc dan Myobloc dari Solstice Neuroscience Inc.

Botox terkenal karena dapat menghaluskan kerutan di wajah namun juga disetujui untuk penggunaan medis tertentu untuk terapi cervical dystonia, atau otot leher yang kaku. Myobloc secara jelas hanya boleh digunakan di leher.

Namun kedua suntikan itu dibuat dari racun botulinum, yang dapat melumpuhkan otot-otot.

Public Citizen menyatakan telah mengkaji 180 laporan yang diajukan ke Food and Drug Administration oleh para pabrikan yang melibatkan injeksi untuk pasien dengan Botox atau Myobloc. Kasus laporan itu umumnya memuat mengenai melemahnya otot, kesulitan menelan atau aspiration pneumonia, sebuah kondisi serius yang disebabkan oleh terisapnya material asing ke dalam paru-paru.

Sebanyak 16 kasus dilaporkan fatal, termasuk empat anak di bawah usia 18 tahun. Sedangkan pasien lainnya masuk rumah sakit.

Dr. Sidney Wolfe, direktur di Public Citizen's Health Research Group, menyatakan masalah tersebut dapat terjadi jika racun botulinum menyebar dari tempat injeksi ke esofagus, menyebabkan kelumpuhan parsial.

Public Citizen meminta FDAmemerintahkan sebuah 'black-box warning' untuk highlight masalah tersebut dan mengirimi para dokter surat pemberitahuan. Para pabrikan juga harus memberitahu risiko injeksi Botox kepada konsumen yang akan disampaikan oleh para dokter yang melakukan suntikan.

Kelompok itu mengatakan bahwa pihak berwenang di Eropa telah memperingatkan pada dokter untuk mengamati secara seksama tan-tanda komplikasi racun botulinum sejak Maret 2007.
