No bedroom or bathroom is complete without a dressing mirror. Without a dressing mirror, it is impossible to see the fit of an outfit from all angles. How many times have women stood on a box or the bed trying to see how a pair of shoes looks with a certain dress? How many husbands have suffered through the question of, "Does this look good with these?" With a dressing mirror, those inconveniences are no longer a problem.
Dressing mirrors come in many varieties. One is sure to fit your needs.
Floor length or Knee length
Dressing mirrors can come in two different lengths. Floor length models will reflect from head to toe, while knee length models will only show to the bottom edge of a skirt. Of course, the floor length is most convenient for seeing the full outfit and matching footwear. However, if space is an issue, knee length dressing mirrors that are hung on the wall would leave room for a shorter piece of furniture to be placed beneath it.
Three-way
Instead of having only the front view, you can opt for a three-paneled dressing mirror that will give you the view from several angles. With the three panels arranged in a semi-circle, you barely have to turn from side to side to view the front, sides, and back of your outfit. Three-way dressing mirrors can be floor length or knee length. Some will have hinged side panels so that you can adjust them, while others will be mounted in a stationary position.
Wall or Cheval
A dressing mirror hung on a wall or door could be convenient in that it will not take up floor space. Cheval dressing mirrors, those on legs, can be set in a corner if space is an issue. Cheval dressing mirrors usually can swivel up or down so that it does not necessarily have to be floor length to view footwear. One cheval dressing mirror that I found stood on a solid base and opened to offer storage space behind the mirror.
Style
Of course, dressing mirrors are available to match all types of dˇcor. Light framed cheval dressing mirrors can look very contemporary, while traditional stained wood can imitate the romantic Victorian Era. Wall hung dressing mirrors can be almost commercial style with no frame or decoratively etched around the edges to add a softer look.
Dressing mirrors are a wonderful addition to any bedroom or bathroom. They can add that touch of class by complementing the dˇcor, as well as provide a convenience when trying to perfect your fashionable look.
