1.Any prom dress can look great on the hanger but remember you have to purchase a style and look that goes with your height, body shape, hair and skin coloring.
2.Don’t believe that there are a limited number of colors that work for you; instead, be your own best fashion designer and hold up prom dresses to your face to see which ones bring out your skin tones, eyes and hair the best. Warm colors like fire engine red and coral look best on brunettes with darker coloring; cool pastels work for blondes. But there are a myriad of colors — metallic gold and silver included — that work for all colorings.
3.Unsure what type of prom dress style to go with for the prom drag a friend to a store and get a second opinion while trying on lots of colors to see which ones compliment your look best.
4.Learn to embrace your body, too. If you aren’t comfortable in curve-hugging dresses because of too much jiggle, then try a body slimmer underneath for more control. Everyone has at least one great asset, even if it’s something as simple as thick hair, white teeth or nice legs. You don’t have to do anything too extravagant to show off your best feature, just make sure that your look shows it off and enhances it. If your best feature is great skin, the last thing you’d want to do is cover up every inch of it with clothing. Dressing for your best feature is less about dressing for size or age and more about making the best of what you have to work with.
5.One important thing to remember is when you’re looking to buy a prom dress focus on a bling bling dress or bling bling accessories not both. If you have both it would be to overwhelming to the naked eye and one will take away from the other. The idea here is to make either the dress or the accessories the focus, not both. For example, a bronze strapless prom dress with no adornment could carry a chunky diamond bracelet and necklace or a pair of chandelier earrings.
6.Solid color prom dresses and neutrals are a great backdrop for colorful jewels. On the other hand, the more ruffles, tiers and beading a dress has, the simpler the accessories should be. It doesn’t mean you have to go bare but you need to use self-control and choose smaller pieces.
7.Look at magazines web sites and see what’s in style. You don’t want to go looking like grandma just run over by a reindeer!
