How to rock the boob-tube dress and avoid a fashion disaster – a brother’s opinion

In two weeks time we will be entering wedding season with the first Saturday coming as early as the 5^th of December, so I thought it might be a good time to address the boob-tube issue.

I’m sure some of us have seen those terrible wedding pictures that went round on social media where a bride’s boobs are almost falling off and looking so tastelessly indecent.

I really don’t understand this wedding-gown-strapless-dress-craze that just hit us…Eish

Not to mention how that completely ruin wedding pictures which is one of the most important and savoury moments of a wedding.

Its summer ladies we understand, but not everyone looks good in a boob-tube just like not every man looks good in shorts especially if you have thin legs like mine.

Now for those who easily catch feelings, this article is not about body shamming but a brother’s opinion purely based on observation. (emphasis on Opinion)

Here is how you can rock a boob-tube

1. To rock the boob-tube dress you need to have a long slender neck and good arms

2. Defined and nicely shaped shoulders

3. The distance between your shoulders and the top of your dress should never be too long, in the picture below ZiFM News presenter Candice illustrates this point perfectly in this dress that she wore at last year’s Zimbabwe’s Fashion Week.

4. Also fitting is very important, the top shouldn’t be too tight as this end up creating folds at the back of your armpits, you would have lost the look sha.

5. I would personally advise to stay away from this piece of clothing if you have a very big bosom, for very few can pull off the look especially if it’s a wedding gown. But if you insist I think you should try a one-arm dress (assuming the plan is to show off some skin)

6.Then there is the issue of cleavage…oh dear. Cleavage is good but on a boob-tube it should be kept at the minimum minimum or totally avoided.

The most important rule about revealing clothes

This one is very important and i know some will definitely catch feelings. Each time you think of wearing something revealing You Better Have The Body To Reveal.

Now this in no way means you should cover your body from head to toe. But you would rather make heads turn in a long dress than have several vana mother pass you a zambia/sari which only you don’t understand the need for.

I know that we all have that one friend who says they don’t care what people think of them, they believe they can look good in anything.

You can’t just wear what you want, I think this also qualifies as an important rule; you wear something that enhances your beauty and assets
