"Hello. My name is Gabriela Garzon and I'm an image consultant with G.G. Image and Etiquette Consulting in Coral Gables, Florida. In this clip I'm going to show how to properly wear long dresses no matter what your body type is. For example, if you wear a long dress like I'm wearing right now, which has a very straight line all the way to the bottom, you can see that I'm wearing high heels, but that the hem of the dress hits just above the heel. It should not be cleaning the floor, and it should not cover completely your shoes or your sandals, your night sandals. So, that way, when you wear it like that, you will not be stepping on your dress. Another way that....another thing that you should know when you're wearing a long dress is that it should be appropriate for your body type, regardless of how long it is. You should accentuate or camouflage things in your body appropriately with different type of dresses. You should try and buy dresses that have a very flexible type of fabric so it can accommodate every type of body, and, you know, and camouflage and just speak on everything that you have in your body. This is Gabriela Garzon at G.G. Image and Etiquette Consulting."
