How to buy a prom dress?
Tips to make sure that you look your best
Prom is
a very special time and if you don't do your research
prior to buying your dress, you might end up wearing
something as stupid as those
Hollywood celebrities do on the
red carpet. Think Jennifer
Hudson in that ridiculous Oscar de la Renta dress with
that stupid bolero at the Oscars! PromGirl has the
following tips to buy a dress that will make you look
great.
Find
a dress that fits. Not everyone is shaped alike. Girls
are
petite,
plus size, hourglass figured, sleek, and tall.

Wear
a complementary
color. If you crave that
sexy red dress, but
red is not your color, check to
see if it is available in another color.
Shoes can make the
outfit. Have a tall date? A short one? Find
shoes
to match. Don't forget to get some practice wearing those new
shoes before the big night. You don't want sore feet to mar
your big night.
A
flattering neckline presents a classic and dramatic look.
Strapless dresses show off beautiful collarbones, while
halter top dresses can show an open back or a dramatic
V-neck can accentuate a
beautiful bust line. As you select your neckline, be sure
to accentuate your best attribute. |
Choose what to
show off. If you have
long
lean legs, choose a long sleek dress. If you have a pretty
face, draw attention upwards with a dress with detailing at
the top.
Accessorize.
If the weather is still cool when prom is held, plan ahead.
For cooler weather, use a shawl and keep shoulders warm.
Jewelry
choices and
handbags bring added flair to a formal dress.

Prepare
for prom activities. Dinner before? Party after? Find a
dress that is appropriate for every aspect of the night
and be prepared to change from that full-skirted ball
gown to a shorter dress later in the night.
Bring
a digital
camera. Keeping the
photos and
memories made on prom night is as important as
looking good in them.
Plan
hairstyle and
makeup early. If you plan to have your hair and
makeup done professionally, be sure to make an appointment
early. In prom season many
salons
are very busy, particularly if you will get
hair extensions or
eyelash extensions or get your
hair straightened. Be sure to share with your stylist any
pertinent information about your planned dress so that your
makeup and
nails will complement your dress and shoes.

Remember to
have fun. Have a great time getting ready for and at the
prom! Plan ahead and make the evening fun.
