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.

Modest Prom Dresses
When it comes to prom dresses, a parent's worst nightmare is that their child will show up to prom or come home with a prom dress that looks like it was ripped out of a magazine, cut up, pasted on, and has less fabric than a doll's dress. However, there is another option that you may want to consider instead.
Modest prom dresses- like many ballgowns, are a great option for those who aren't comfortable in flashy, showy dresses, those who want to look like a princess for a day, or parents who are afraid of the above scenario. As a matter of fact, they're just as pretty as regular prom dresses, just not quite as worrisome as far as appropriateness goes. Since they are so comfy, they are also great for everyday dress instead of just formal dresses.
You can find modest formal dresses online on many, many websites. The only downside is the credibility of the websites will need to be checked before you decide to use them—you never know when you might run into a scam artist. Just because they're selling wholesome, appropriate dresses doesn't mean that they aren't secretly out to get your money. However, once you determine that they are good companies that are reputable, you may find their products invaluable!

How to Get Strapless Prom Dresses to Stick
So you've gone out of your way to buy strapless prom dresses, like many of the dresses by Jovani . You're super excited because you get to go free and end enjoy not being encumbered by straps. The question is, how on earth can you get a strapless dress to stick? Well, the answer is—a lot easier than you might think!
First of all, you need to understand that prom dresses are normally made of expensive fabric and you really don't want to put a bunch of adhesive and other junk on your dress that might cause it to somehow end up sticky or maybe cause clumping or somehow damage your formal dresses. But you want to keep your dress looking its absolute best. The question is—how exactly do you go about making your strapless prom dress stick?
As a matter of fact, it's actually loads easier to make prom dresses that are strapless stick and as a matter of fact, you can do so simply by grabbing some handy, dandy hair spray! You should not use the hairspray that contains aerosol—it won't do you any good. Instead, you should get the kind that squirts out. Your first step is to take the hairspray and spray it all over your tummy and the bra you will be wearing (while wearing it of course!). Then proceed to pull the dress up and rub it against your body so that it molds to it for several minutes until the hairspray is dry. Then, enjoy your prom!

Geometric Prom Dresses
Geometric prom dresses are an interesting, fun choice when you're tired of plain dresses and want to spice it up. Instead of regular old formal dresses, geometric dresses provide you with something innovative. You can choose from neutral dresses to bright and colorful dresses and everywhere in between. It's simply up to you and what you want out of your dress.
Firstly, decide what you would like your dress to look like. For example, if you're really, really fond of bright colors, then choose a bright, bold pattern. Squares are a nice, bright one as are triangles and octagons and things of that nature. If you're looking for something that is neutral instead of really bright, then you should choose pastels and tans and brown colored dresses
and shapes that are small, including circles and bubbles and other shapes that are normally not considered way out there.
You then have the choice between small shapes and large shapes. If you're a little bit heavier, then smaller shapes are the best choice for you. They not only look classy and pretty, but they also add a nice, delicate touch to your prom dresses. If you're really, really skinny, then you should look into larger geometrical shapes instead so that your formal dresses leave a bigger impression on those whom are going to be at prom!

Finding Your Goth Prom Dress
So you're searching for goth prom dresses and you aren't entirely sure what you should choose. After all, it can be difficult to decide what you want your dress to look like and also what accessories that you should choose to go with your prom dress.
First of all, you need to understand that the gothic subculture is not only about expressing yourself, but it is also characterized by dark colors mixed with deep, bright hues. Red and black is a very popular combination but you could also choose black and blue and black and green. Black and yellow is not a very common combination, but if you like it, then go for it! It's up to you what you want your prom dresses to look like!
Short dresses are not very common as far as prom dresses go, but you can also choose between romantic, Victorian style dresses, or you can choose dresses that are very grungy, shredded and dark. It's up to you what you would prefer. Keep in mind that some things may not be allowed. For example, you probably don't want to have a dress that is completely ripped up. However, you could consider choosing a dress that is ripped up and then putting a whole one underneath. You might want to add a studded belt or a sash or something else that you feel will complement the dress. It's up to you what this is.

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.

Buying a Prom Dress vs Renting One
So you're wondering—should you look at prom dresses to buy or should you look at prom dresses to rent? This is a very important question and it all depends on what you want out of your prom dress.
First of all, if you want to rent a prom dress, you need to consider both the pros and the cons. Firstly, you don't have to take care of the dress the same way that you do when you buy prom dresses. You care for it carefully for one night and then you return it. You also don't have to worry about the fact that you already have a prom dress or formal dress if you rent one. Instead, you can simply pick another one for your next dance and so on. Not to mention the frequent cleanings. You may find that some formal dresses have to be dry cleaned and that may not be an option for you.
On the other hand, when you buy prom dresses, they are yours. You don't have to worry about paying more for a dress if you accidentally spill punch on it or you trip and accidentally rip the dress. You simply take it home and see what you can do, instead of paying not only for the dress, but also it's cleaning or perhaps even a fee of some sort.

Why You Shouldn't Spend A Lot On Your Prom Dress
It's that time of year again—time to buy prom dresses! Or at least look into them. The question is, how do you know what you should look for when you're buying prom dresses and what do you need to know about buying your formal dresses? First of all, when it comes to prom dresses, you need to know that you don't need to buy a really, really, really expensive dress. You don't need to worry about the cost, just the way that the dress looks. If the dress satisfies you then you don't need to worry about how expensive that it is.
First of all, make sure that you like the way that the dress fits. Make sure that it is comfortable for you and that the dress is the color, fabric, etc that you like. Take the time to try on any dress that you plan on or think about buying so that you know how it fits and also how it will feel to you the day that you are wearing it. Don't pick a prom dress that you aren't comfortable in just because it looks nice.
In the case that you happen to see a dress that isn't a price that you can afford, try to find one that is less expensive or take a look online and see how much that the dress costs then. You may find that it is quite a bit less expensive.

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.

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.

Prom Dress Tips For Pear Shaped Girls
For pear shaped girls, it can be a bit difficult to decide what kind of prom dresses that you would like. Do you want to look into cocktail dresses? Short dresses? Formal dresses? It can be hard to decide with such a unique shape.
First of all, choose a lower back. While it might seem a bit unusual, it helps to draw the attention to your top half and away from your booty. The neckline should be lower, but not too low. If you can find a few prom dresses that overlap in the bust area or bunches up, or has a bow or some other detail that will draw attention to that area and keep it away from your butt. Shorter skirts also help. Make sure that they aren’t poofy, but a little bit of flaring out wouldn’t hurt either.
In the same mindset, but in reverse, you can also draw attention to that feature. After all, if you can’t beat it, accentuate it! Choose small details—you don’t want to overdo it. This could include small bows or sequins or a clingy skirt. Try to make sure that your top half still gets some attention—again, you don’t want to overdo it. If you can choose a prom dress with a diamond in the front that will help to offset your tummy and everything else accordingly, that’s another choice that you might want to look into.
