If you’re planning your prom in summer the most recent styles could appear as early as half term the year prior to the prom.. The latest styles are typically available at mid-January during the year that you are planning your prom. Therefore, you can shop at any time you like, but once have a dress you like, ….stop searching!
Before you go shopping
Make a your budget before you shop on your wedding dress. You can agree with your parents or anyone else who will purchase the dress on your behalf. Certain shops, mainly independent boutiques will keep a prom diary to track which dresses they’ve sold every school. Some shops try to not offer the exact same dress with the same colour to another school. Other shops won’t offer identical styles at the exact same time to the school. If you purchase the dress at a high-street shop, you’re more likely to meet another person wearing the same style as you.
Finding the right fitting
Find a dress perfect for your body.
A bodice-style dress is a great choice for those with a bigger body. The bodices draw attention to the waist, and if they feature a lace-up back you can have a perfect fit to your bust.
All dresses that have over-skirting fabric or pleating around the waist can help cover a stomach.
A different style that is very attractive is empire line that is a flattering style that falls below the bust and doesn’t stick to your hips or stomach.
If you like to use a bra, choose a dress with bra-friendly straps, not spaghetti straps. Keep in mind that many strapless dresses come with the option of straps.
For a more sophisticated look There are stunning gowns for prom that are red carpet-worthy. They often feature stunning low backs, as well as gorgeous beaded details. They’re more figure-hugging form.
Selecting the right size
Be upfront about your size. It’s quite common to increase to one or even two sizes for formal wear, particularly when dresses are from all across the globe. Designers have yet to come up with a consensus on a uniform size for women and girls. Dresses aren’t sized as regular clothes.
What matters is how big you are! If you’re stunning in your prom dress! Nobody will be able to see the dress’s label and you may even cut it out if wish to.
Making it work
It’s always best to wear a larger dress that you can alter to suit you perfectly rather than trying to fit into an outfit that is too narrow for you. A tight fabric and ugly creases make you appear bigger!
Shortening the distance
It’s fine to wear a dress that is shorter like a cocktail or party dress for a prom. Dresses that float over the ankles or slinky shorter dresses are an alternative in lieu of the traditional lengthy prom gown.
The 1950’s flared, short dresses that have lots of nets are also very fashionable and comfortable to wear for any other celebration after prom has ended.
Dresses that are shorter in the front, and long in rear (high-lows) are a great way to add celebrity prom glamour.
Make sure to check with your school first. Some have rules on how long your prom dress must be.
Which shoes should you choose?
If you are planning to wear heels – test your prom dress with heels. It will help you get an picture of the way the dress appears and whether it requires changing.
If you’re more comfortable in flats, bear this in mind when choosing the dress style you pick. Hemlines with a fancy design tend to require more heels, while ball gowns and dresses that are flared can be easily paired with pretty slip-ons, shoes with open toes and even trainers.
Modifying your dress to get an ideal look
Most prom dresses need modification in a way. The length, straps, and the areas around the bust are very typical. Keep in mind when preparing a budget the cost of your gown that there might be a charge for alteration, and this can require time. Most dressmakers recommend three weeks for this. You can get an alteration on the internet or at many dry-cleaners that offer this service. The retailer you purchase the prom dress from might be able to get you in contact with reliable seamstresses.
The perfect fit
Be sure to wear your underwear and shoes you plan to wear with your dress to the time you get your alteration fitted.
Think about your underwear
There are a variety of bra accessories available to purchase to pair with strapless or backless dresses. If you choose to wear an unisex dress, ensure you remove your regular bra off on the the prom to avoid revealing red marks. The same goes for socks as well. Ankles with red marks can be a major distraction from your stunning dress!

It is an opportunity for you to dress and feel stunning and make yourself stand out from the crowd! Take advantage of the opportunity to find your ideal prom dress and enjoy a memorable prom.
