In most recent fashions, the fringe is often used in short bubu gowns on the chest area.<\/p>\n<p>This type of gown fits every body type and styling it is also easy. It can be matched with heels or flat shoes, boots, or covered, or open shoes. It can also be used to attend formal and informal activities (mostly depending on the shoes you choose to wear).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>9.
