Tips for Better Dress Photos and Captions
- Show the movement: for flowy dresses, a twirl or a walking shot works better than standing still.
- Name the detail: puff sleeves, a slit or chikankari work make your caption more specific.
- Match the tone: a funny caption suits casual outfits; a short, confident line suits party and evening wear.
- Use colour in the caption: people search by colour, and it ties the picture and words together.
- Keep reels short: one line plus a few hashtags is enough.
