Picking your Perfect Prom Dress

So you're looking for the perfect prom dress but you aren't entirely sure how to do that. After all, finding prom dresses is a big deal and many people try their best to find their perfect prom dress. The question is—what is your perfect prom dress and how do you find it? First of all, you need to keep yourself in mind and now what is popular.
Firstly, look at your body type. What exactly is your strong point as far as your body goes? What do you consider to be something that you would like to cover up? Small details can help to both draw attention to and also cover up certain things, depending on what they are. For example, if you had a fitted waist, it would not only draw attention to your bust (if that is what you're aiming to draw attention to), but also make your waist look smaller. The same goes for the rear, if you would like to draw attention to or detract from that.

Make sure that your prom dresses are colors that you like. If you love baby blue, try to find a few baby blue dresses. If you prefer red dresses, try to find a few red dresses. Keep what you prefer to wear in mind also. For example, if you prefer tank tops, then look for dresses that have straps.

Why you should take your Prom Dress to a Seamstress...

So you have your prom dresses all picked out and you and your friends find that you need to alter them. You can sew at all and the only person who can doesn’t have any idea how to take a dress in. So the question is—how exactly do you go about taking in your dress when you aren’t sure what you should do? How do you add that pretty lace border when you aren't sure where to start? With all of these questions floating around your mind, it can be extremely difficult to realize just how much that you use a seamstress when it comes to prom dresses.

First of all, find a seamstress that you trust. See if you can examine some of her work, especially any work that may have been done on cocktail dresses and see if it fits your needs. If it does not, search for another seamstress instead. This may take some time, but in the end it is worth it. Most seamstresses are able to work not only on long dresses but also on short dresses. Try to make an assessment based on what you feel will best suit you.

How to give a prom dress to somebody

If you’ve gone out of your way, looked through hundreds of prom dresses, dove through accessories and just tried your best in general to find good prom dresses for that special girl in your life, then you may be wondering how to give it to her. After all, you’ve gone through the trouble of buying her it—giving formal dresses to someone should be just as special. Keep in mind that these are only suggestions as to how to give someone their cocktail dresses, and that you can jazz it up at your leisure.

First of all, you could show up to pick her up for prom (make sure she is paid for first, though!) and when she says she can’t go, present her with the dress. Make sure that it is in some sort of covering so that—just in case—she drops it or she tackles you and you drop it, it doesn’t get dirty.

Another idea for dresses is to have the dress lying on her bed and wait downstairs while she goes upstairs and sees it. You could also place any jewelry that you bought (it’s okay if you don’t) on top of the dress in plain sight. This works great for both short dresses and long dresses of all shapes and styles. You could also substitute the jewelry with petty flowers instead.
