  • 4 Tips To Help You Find The Perfect Prom Dress

4 Tips To Help You Find The Perfect Prom Dress

winter ball dressProm is like the fairytale ball at the end of every princess movie. It's a night where you can dress up and feel your best, have fun with friends, and dance the night away.

You just need to find the perfect prom dress that lets you do all of those things while feeling like a million bucks. Here are four tips you can use to help you find the One:

    1. Know your body type and what you're comfortable with. There's a big difference between dressing for your body type and dressing for your comfort level. The goal is to find a dress that meets both of those criteria. For instance, if you have an hourglass figure you might look your best in a couture dress. But if you're not comfortable with a dress that clings to your body, opt for another style like a fit-and-flare.

    2. Know your measurements. It's one thing to know what dress style you're looking for and another to know your size. Sizes vary by store, so it's vital that you know your measurements. Use a tape a measure and jot down your bust, waist, and hip measurements. This way, when you're shopping online, you can choose your size based on your actual measurements rather than what size you think you are.

    3. Remember that bigger is better. While we're talking about size, remember that you always want to choose a dress size that's a little larger if you're between sizes. It's easier to tailor a dress to fit you by taking it in, but you might not be able to take a dress out.

    4. Remember that Prom is supposed to be fun. Prom is a big event, but it's also a party. Don't let yourself get so caught up in trying to look your best that you end up choosing a dress that isn't "you." Get creative in your search for the perfect dress. Don't like dresses? Effie's Boutique has elegant pantsuits so you can look great while doing a split on the dancefloor if that's your vibe.
