rooches are available in many different designs and styles. A jewel-encrusted brooch in eye-catching hues can transform even the most blah outfit to something dramatic. And the best thing about wearing brooches with dresses is that you can pin them anywhere in your outfit. It is a great way to attract attention to your most flattering features. Traditionally, a brooch was worn on the lapel of a coat or jacket but you can pin a brooch to a dress to give it a touch of glamour.

If you have a plain shift dress and want to smarten it up for evening wear, then pin a cluster of brooches on the shoulder of your dress. It is one of the best ways to glam up a simple dress. Opt for a mix of quirky looking brooches on soft feminine dresses to make a statement.

If you are wearing a cocktail dress that has a plunging neckline, just wear the brooch at the center of the neckline. This will accentuate the neckline and give your dress some more glamour. Large antique brooches with a subtle sparkle work very well. You can also opt for brooches with a nature-based design to up the style quotient.

One of the best ways to wear a brooch is by attaching it to the side of your waist. You can pin the brooch on one side of your dress if you’re wearing a dress that has lots of folds and pleats. The brooch should be a large one so that it is eye-catching or it will get lost in the folds of the dress and not serve its purpose. An oversized bejeweled brooch looks best with a solid colored dress.

You can also wear an antique brooch pinned to a ribbon or sash and then tie the ribbon at the waist. You can align the brooch either at the center or slightly to the side. This idea works well for floral dresses or vintage dresses.
