How to make that prom dress decision
Still undecided about your prom dress, and prom night approaching fast?. There are so many choices in prom dresses that you do not know where to start. Your friends and family are not much help either. Mother wants you to wear something demure and pretty much like her prom dress and your friends want you to wear a prom dress much to overtly sexy for your taste. When you examine yourself – Bust, Hips, Legs – You are far from that perfect figure There really is a prom dress out there that will suit your less than perfect figure. Its just a matter of playing up to your good points and disguising your not so good.
First, decide the color. Make a short list of two or thre colors, and always include black and blue. You will always be able to wear an elegant black or royal blue prom dress for other formal events later.
Now for the style. Focus on your neck and shoulders if your figure is less than perfect Do you have good skin and nice smooth shoulders with a long neck. Then an off the shoulder prom dress wil work well. No-one will notice your less than perfect rear if you highlight your neck with a stunning necklace.
A long or mid calf dress is favorite if your legs are not too great. For more freedom of movement than you get in a long dress,try that mid flattering calf dress. Don’t choose a dress that is at all tight, since you do want to be able to dance in comfort.Besides the lack of movement, it will show up any imperfactions even those you did not know you had.
Remember, if you have a large bust and you want to disguise this fact, then you should wear necklines which are round. If you are proud of your bustline, then try low cut v-shaped necklines which show cleavage. If you have a smaller bustline, emphasise its beautiful shape with either higher necklines or an uplift bra and lots of cleavage. A low cut strapless prom dress is also an option to consider. Your comfort is always the most important point.
Whatever style you think may suit you, nothing will replace the fact that the more prom dresses you try on, the more likely you are to find one which is perfect for you. Make an occasion of going out with a close friend to try on lots of prom dresses. Always check out those wild cards that at first glance seem totally innappropriate. A pleasant surprise may be coming. Listen to the sales assistants in the shop/boutique. They have loads of experience and meet people like you every year looking for that great prom dress.
