Choosing your Prom Dress
At last, it’s time to buy a designer prom dress. Whether you buy a prom gown or have it produced especially for you, You should consider the following. Firstly, the likely temperature of the dance hall. You do not want to be wearing velvet if the room is going to be overly warm. Similarly you don’t want a thin chiffon dress which will show goose bumps because you are freezing. Wear something you will be comfortable in, which is always significant
Next, design. This should reflect your personality and your figure. If you have an outgoing personality.If you like meeting people and being the centre of attention, then look for something slightly flamboyant. But remember that you are likely to be snapped so don’t be too outrageous. You don’t want your future to be haunted by those photos. If you tend to be more shy, then look for something refined and tasteful. Find a style you will be comfortable wearing.
You should also look carefully and honestly at your figure when choosing the style of your formal prom dress. most if us have a few pounds extra that we would rather not highlight and few have the perfect figure. Don’t fool yourself that you can diet/exercise to be rid of it by prom night - That is always unlikely to happen. Instead, find a dress which will compliment your assets and hide those extra inches. If you are on the heavy side, don’t wear tight clothes, and don’t wear frills and flounces, they do not hide, they only draw attention to your imperfections. Do not wear a tight or very low cut costume if you are large on top, it will do you no favours. You want to look glamorous on your special night, so don’t adopt the edict of ‘If you have it - Flaunt it. That does not apply on prom night and is only likely to embarass you.One other thing, make sure the stripes go the best way if you fancy a striped material. Horizontal stripes tend to make you look shorter and fatter, Upright stripes tend to make you look taller and thinner. If you are challenged in the bust department or your hips are large then stripes can often come to your aid.
You can enhance your skin tone and improve your overall looks by choosing the right color.Avoid Royal Blue if you have a very pale complexion, you will appear to be even paler. Also you will look insipid and fade into the background with very pale colors, not what you want to do on this very special evening. Deep pinks, greens and reds would look good. Try your favorite color. You should find the color which makes you feel special.If you are a redhead, avoid oranges and reds, but greens shoulkd look really good on you. Look at your eyes, why not try enhancing their colour by wearing the same colour for your dress.
Keep your options open as you select your costume. Try everything, before you dismiss it. Enjoying wearing your prom dress is the most crucial thing of all.You need to feel special on your special night If you don’t, try something else.
