So you found the perfect prom dresses. They’re absolutely gorgeous and you can’t wait to wear them. However, you aren’t entirely sure if your formal dresses and prom dresses fall into the category of appropriate, but you already made the purchase and can’t go back on it. This isn’t a common scenario, but it is one that can happen. Luckily, you can be prepared.
First of all, look at your dress. Does it have a plunging neckline? That could be a problem. Is the back cut out? That could be another problem. Is it a tiny bit too short? That’s another problem that you might run into. The question is—how do you get rid of these issues and keep your prom dresses and cocktail dresses and short dresses, no matter how they look?
Try and make sure, first and foremost, that if you have cut outs, you also have masking tape and colored fabric that matches (or maybe doesn’t match) your dress. In this case, if you happen to have your dress deemed inappropriate for whatever reason, you can quickly slip it off, cover up the cut outs, and get back to the dance floor. If you can’t have a low back, make sure that you have a shawl on you just in case. As for cleavage, you probably won’t want to use masking taps, but a good safety pin would probably do the job well!

Purses to Match Your Prom Dresses
Matching purses to prom dresses isn’t nearly as difficult as you might think—and as a matter of fact, it can really bring your outfit together. The questions that you might have are—why match them? And how exactly do you go about doing this?
First of all, it’s important to match your accessories, especially purses to your prom dresses, formal dresses, and cocktail dresses because you don’t want the attention to be on anything but your good ole dresses, short dresses or otherwise. It’s not as hard to match your purse and dresses as you may think—and you may find that it is actually quite a bit of fun.
Take your time when you decide to choose your purse. You should look not only at the shade of the dress that you plan on wearing, but also on colors that are similar. The key isn’t to make your dress or purse exactly, but to make sure that your dress is still the center of focus. For example, you could easily match a silver purse to a pink prom dress. You can also choose to have your purse in a color that is analogous to your dress instead of a matching color. This is a very simple and quick alternative for those who may not be able to find the color that they’re looking for, but have fallen completely in love with a certain purse.

Tips For Dads Helping to Choose Prom Dresses
It's that time of year again—prom! And guess who got reined in to help your teenager choose prom dresses. Yep, yep! On one hand, this may seem like something that would scare you witless. After all, what do you know about prom dresses? You're just the dad! However, this does not mean that you cannot contribute nor does it mean that you shouldn't. Here are a few tips to make prom dresses shopping less painful—for both of you!
First of all, put up the magazines. Actually take the time to give your daughter your opinion. Even if you don't like the dress, ask her to model it for you a little bit so that she knows that you are paying attention and have a genuine interest. Then, tell her why you don't feel that it would be a good dress and then wait until she finds one that you like. Do not balk at every single dress and give some a consideration. However, if you find a dress obscenely inappropriate, then you need to make sure to put your foot down.
Keep in mind that some dresses will also be covered with a shawl and that she will be wearing the appropriate undergarments with said clothing. This will change how the dress looks and while it may look a bit weird at first, it should be greatly approved when she finally wears it.
