Look for a good fit. No matter how cute the dress is, it won't look good on you if you have to constantly tug at it to get it to stay in place. You want your strapless dress to be snug on top, but not so snug it gives you "armpit fat." The dress should also balance itself out. Since the top is snug and there is nothing above the bust, a fuller, at least knee length bottom looks best. Short and tight looks trashy.

Buy the right underwear. There are may different kinds of strapless bras on the market. Look for a simple one with smooth cups. Lace and other embellishments might make your chest look crumpled when you are wearing your strapless dress. As for your bottom half, look for undies that eliminate the pantylines. Options include thongs and slim wear.

Glam up. Adding a pretty necklace draws attention to your face. Dangly earrings look nice, too. Exfoliating your skin and applying lotion with a subtle glitter will make you skin glow.
