The German beauty stepped out in New York, wearing an Elie Sabb cotton blend lace dress last night to the amfAR fundraising gala. We personally feel the sleeves can look a little older on an evening gown?
What do you think?

It is said to have been discovered back in 3,900 B.C. in Armenia, in the form of a straw-woven skirt. These garments have been worn by men & women over the years in many different cultures. This is still alive today, some men in Scotland wear kilts, as do some Asian men wear what is called, the Dhoti or Lungi, a piece of material that is wrapped around the waist and knotted, resembling a skirt.
Women’s dresses started to become a lot more varied in the 19th century than in any other culture. Waistlines originally started under the bust, called the ‘Empire Silhouette’, and they started to drift towards the natural waist. The skirt had started of quite narrow, but was now moving towards styles like the Hoopskirt or Crinoline skirt. This was all taking place around 1860s.
Then, skirts took a radical change in the beginning of the 20th century – the hem was no longer at the floor. Around the 1920s skirts became short(er), then in the 1930s, long again. Then throughout the War, skirts became shorter as there was a fabric restriction at the time.
And of course what came into fashion in the 60s? The Miniskirt by Mary Quant. She had dared to create this item the measured normally no longer than 4inches below the bottom. These skirts were so popular, as they are today, worn by teenagers, young adults and can also be seen in sport, such as skaters, cheerleaders and tennis players.

* Remember, wear clothes that suit your body shape.
Shoulders: Broader shoulders should try and avoid shoulder pads and cap sleeves.
Legs: If you’re wider around your thighs, try to avoid tight-fitting trousers.
Shoes: It’s very important that the shoes fit you. Otherwise you’ll incur a lot of unwanted pain.
Painted toes: If you’re wearing open toe shoes, remember people see your feet, so make sure they’re painted!
Open-toe shoes: Not to be worn with nude tights. Wear a closed toe shoe if you must wear tights.
Hems: Make sure the hem is neat and there aren’t any stray stands. This can look messy.
Boobs or Legs?: You either opt to show your legs off or flaunt your chest, but it’s never both.
Low-cut Tops: It’s not very lady like to show too much of your chest, it’s distracting and can make people feel uneasy also.
Brightly Coloured Bras: Only should be worn in the right situation, not at work under a sheer shirt.
VPL: If you’re not a fan of the G-String, and would prefer slightly bigger smalls, but worry about showing your VPL. Why not opt for seamless knickers, they’re perfect for wearing under most garments and very comfortable too.
Animal Print: Can look cheap and dated. If you insist on wearing it, then make sure it’s strictly keep to one piece on your person at a time.
