PROM

Prom season is right around the corner ladies! And what's more important for a high school girl on this night? One thing. The dress, of course. Once a girl has the perfect dress picked out for her then it's all down hill from there.

But the real issue for many girls of course is, "What dress is right for me?"
With so many options and alternatives it's hard to narrow a girls choice to one perfect dress. Here are a few things to think about when picking out your dress: short or long? The color? Strapless, halter, or strappy?
Ask yourself if the color looks good with your skin tone? Or if the shape is flattering to the shape of your body?

Skintones can be categories in two categories, light or dark tones.

People with light or pale skin have either pink, olive, or even blue undertones. A good choice of color would be white black, navy blue, red, and even an eye-popping pink.



Pastel colors also look very nice and elegant on people with a lighter complexion. Like lavender, plum, rose-brown, and soft yellows, blues, and pinks.


Print dresses can be worn by any girl of any color. A print dress with dramatic and strong colors looks great on girls with a darker complexion but a girl with a lighter tone can also wear it with a simple elegance.




If you are not one for prints and are a girl with a darker skin tone consider colors like beige, orange, gold, dark brown, peach, golden yellow, white, camel. These colors would look great on you because you normally have a golden undertone to your skin color.


Shape, everyone has things they don't like about their body. When looking for your dress make sure that the dress can cover the flaws you are now comfortable with. It's all about accentuating the positive and minimizing the negative.

Triangle Shape
These are girls with wider waists and smaller shoulders. They typically have a lower half that is fuller than the upper. Try picking a dress that will make your shoulders look wider and your hips looking smaller that way they seem to be evening each other out.



Key thing for this girl is to pick a fitted prom dress. Don't wear anythong that is loose or too big because it will just make you look sloppy.

Apple Shape
These ladies have a pretty average bust size and wide hips with thin legs. Some women with apple shaped bodies can also have flat behinds, narrow hips, or wide shoulders. These girls should focus mainly on their arms, legs, and bust. they should minimize their waist size.



Choose a dress that have ruching, knotting, or pleating details on the top. Or pick a dress with a v-neck, sweetheart neckline. Both these accentuate the chest area more and draws less attention from the tummy area. Any dress that hits above the knees will help emphasized the length of your legs.

Hourglass Shape
This girl generally has a pretty large bust and hips with a smaller waist. To flatter this shape you have to think in porportion. make sure that the gress you pick highlight both your chest and hip areas. A dress that defines and hugs your waist well is a good pick.




My personal favorite dress this year is the high and low prom dress. This dress is very fun and playful with the short skirt in the front but is also elegant and timeless with the train in the back. It definitely is the best of both worlds and think any girl would look great wearing it. 




Be careful thought girls when picking this dress. Don't pick a high low dress with a dress with an extra added piece of material as the train. Make sure it all flows smoothly together.



Good Luck Ladies!!!!
