Its time to buy your prom dress for what should be the happiest and most important day in your life so far. There will be others – your graduation, your wedding day, the day your children are born etc, however, your prom dress is now of the utmost importance to you and you are in despair because nothing suits you.

Aside from those destined to be models, very few have the perfect figure. The trick when buying a prom dress is to disguise those facets that you are not proud of and enhance those areas you are pleased with.

Other than those with a petite figure there is one style of prom dress that will suit all – and if you have this type of figure you have so much choice in prom dresses that you need no help in choosing the right one for you.

But, it is more difficult for the rest of us. You are generally overweight – not a problem. Your hips are O.K. but your bustline is too large – no problem. Wide hips but good bust -this will work for you.

Whatever your figure, try off-the-shoulder prom dresses. If you are overweight, this will cover that fact by highlighting your shoulders. Your shoulders will stand out in this style, because shoulders generally have nice clear skin. If you are self conscious of showing to much skin, then wear a wrap or a filmy top over the prom dress to cover up. You can cover your arms with long delicate gloves if your arms are not perfect. You will generally look slimmer in deep or dark colors than in very bright or pale colors.Try a royal blue prom dress for that really elegant and sophisticated look There is bound to be a shade to suit you from the many available.

If you have a long graceful neck, then you’ll not need jewellry, though you can accentuate it with a special necklace, wear your hair in an upswept style and earrings will also emphasise this part of your body . If your neck leaves things to be desired, then wear chunky jewelry which will hide the blemishes but don’t create a short and fussy look.Wearing your hair around your shoulders will also help.

You can go for a short off-the-shoulder style if you have long legs. This will draw attention to your legs and away from other parts of you. Wear high heeled shoes, they always enhance the look of legs, but make sure you are comfortable enough in them to dance. Keep the color combination by matching shoes with the dress.

Wear a full skirt and slim fitting top if your hips are large but your bust is good. If, however, you are top heavy,then wear prom dress with a straight skirt which will pull attention away from you bust line. It is always worth searching the web for a plus size formal dress

Don’t forget that you need the right lingerie with this type of dress whatever you finally choose. You don’t want to accidentally show more flesh than intended, and you will need support that doesn’t show.Try on a few of these style of prom dresses, see if you feel at ease in them, accept advice from people who have experience.
