We started seeing the cutout trend on swimsuits first and it was obvious then because of how effective it is, that the trend would soon be everywhere. And here we are at the Oscars and so many standout dresses had beautiful cutout details. Besides of course being really sexy, Cutouts are actually a good way to define and highlight certain areas of the body so they can be incredibly flattering. They're also a great way to create subtle balance in a dress to kind of create a break or barrier between the fabric.

From the stricture of the dress itself, to where you choose to add color and many other tricks, can make a huge difference.

Big bows, puffy sleeves, structured shoulders and of course feathers...We all love the drama and these popular statements, but if we look a little closer, they're actually doing a lot more than just looking great on camera. These big statements create contrast and with that contrast you highlight, define and bring attention to certain areas and details.
