Guide to Choosing the Perfect Prom and Formal Dresses
When it comes to buying prom dresses or formal wear, many teens find themselves overwhelmed. To help you avoid common pitfalls and find the perfect dress, here's a guide with handy tips.
Consider the Occasion
Before purchasing a formal dress, think about the event. Whether it's prom, a wedding, a quinceañera, homecoming, or a cocktail party, each occasion is unique. Consider what activities you will be doing. Will you be dancing, dining, or making a speech? Your dress should allow for comfort and flexibility.
Explore Different Styles
Research is key. Browse online to discover various prom dress styles, colors, and fits. Popular styles include:
- A-line: Slimming with vertical seams and a flared skirt.
- Ball gown: Natural waistline with a full skirt.
- Mermaid: Fitted throughout and flares at the knees.
- Sheath: Lacks a defined waistline, ideal for shorter individuals.
You'll also find a variety of necklines, such as jewel, halter, and spaghetti straps. Check out designers like Jovani, Flip, Tiffany, Scala, and Alyce for the latest trends.
Choose the Right Colors
Prom dress colors range from soft pinks and lavender to deep blues and burgundies. Select colors that complement your skin tone, hair color, and body shape. Consider which hues typically garner you the most compliments.
For plus-size figures, dark colors can provide a slimming effect, while light colors might do the opposite. Choose a shade that flatters your shape, but remember what suits one person may not suit another.
For other formal occasions such as weddings, you might need to adhere to specific color schemes.
Set Your Budget
Begin your search with a clear budget in mind to avoid overspending. Dresses are available at all price points, and quality can vary by designer.
Plan for Alterations
If buying online, account for potential alterations, especially since you can't try the dress on before purchase. Order with enough time to make necessary adjustments, and don't forget to check shipping costs and guarantees.
Accessorize Thoughtfully
Consider how you'll complement your dress with shoes, jewelry, a handbag, and possibly a hairpiece. Ensure your dress color and style work with these accessories.
Shop Early
Start your search well in advance, whether online or in-store, to secure your dream dress. Online shops often have a wider selection at lower prices, including options for prom, homecoming, and other formal events.
By keeping these considerations in mind, you'll be better equipped to find a dress that makes you feel confident and beautiful on your special night.
