The Most Important Accessories for Gowns and Prom Dresses

One of the biggest questions I get here at Promgirl.net is about accessories to go with formal gowns and prom dresses. You want some guidelines and ideas on how to enhance the your gowns, or really make those prom dresses shine! Well, I’ve got ideas all right.

One of the most basic accessories for prom dresses and gowns that a lot of girls don’t think about until the last minute are the undergarments. You got it- bras and underwear! Doesn’t fit your prom glam image? I promise you this- feeling good underneath is key to looking good on top.

So what does this require? For strapless gowns, of course you will need a strapless bra. You may even want to consider an enhancing bra for an extra boost. The key things to look for here are fit, comfort, and something that works with your chosen gown.

Did you know that half of the women in the US wear the wrong size bras? The great thing about most invisible bras and increasers is that many are self-adhesive, so you don’t have to worry about fit or slipping. But get this detail taken care of at the same time you look at prom dresses and gowns, so that you get one that is right for your dress.

The Seamless Shaping Body Suit by Spanx can be an important accessory with your gown if you have any problem areas in your mid-section or butt. Again, purchase your undergarments at the same time you buy your gown to make sure they work together.

Just remember, the key to making prom dresses look truly glamorous is feeling comfortable when you wear it. Start on the inside and you’ll glow on the outside.
