BASIC GOWN MEASUREMENT

BASIC GOWN MEASUREMENTS

European styles in Nigeria are often chosen for special occasions. Sometimes, in big companies and offices, employees are expected to observe a certain dress code. Dress codes can be both quite tough and rather relaxed. Everything depends on the decision and demands of the top management of every separate company.

English gowns suit the demands of most dress codes perfectly because they are reserved, have no excess decorations and are usually done in calm pleasant colors. It’s very important that it’s possible to find a good gown in one of the available English styles and match it to practically any body type.

Apart from the formal styles, English gowns can be seen in evening or cocktail variations, casual and so-called smart casual designs, and so on. It’s time to give separate style some attention and see which options are available within each style.
