When preparing for a special event, choosing the right modest evening dress determines both your elegance and your comfort. At Gizem Kış, we have been making evening dresses to order for years, and we put together this guide based on the questions our customers ask most often.
1. Choose the model according to the type of event
For henna nights, brighter colours and embroidered models are preferred, while pastel tones such as powder pink and baby blue stand out for engagements and promise ceremonies. At weddings, deep colours like black, navy and emerald green always look elegant.
2. Pay attention to the fabric
Satin gives a flowing, luminous look; tulle and lace add a more romantic feel. Sequin-embroidered fabrics catch the light at evening events. For occasions where you will be on your feet for a long time, choose breathable, lined fabrics.
3. Make sure the cut suits your body type
Fitted-waist A-line models flatter almost every body type. Caped and cap-sleeve evening dresses balance the shoulder line, while straight-cut (pencil) evening dresses look very elegant on taller women.
4. Choose your size by measurement
Because our evening dresses are made to order, choosing the right size is very important. Take your bust, waist and hip measurements and compare them with the size chart; if you are unsure, send us your measurements via our WhatsApp line and we will determine the best size for you together.
5. Sleeve and neckline details
Long sleeves and a closed neckline are essential in a modest evening dress; but cuff, cape or ruffle details on the sleeves give the model character. Neckline embroidery that matches the colour of your headscarf completes the look.
6. Timing
Preparation time for made-to-order evening dresses can take 1-9 business days. We recommend placing your order at least two weeks before the event date.
7. Accessories and shoes
You can liven up a simple evening dress with a jewelled belt or brooch, while with an embroidered dress you can keep accessories to a minimum. When choosing the skirt length, be sure to account for the heel height of the shoes you will wear.
