The excitement starts way before the actual event and sticks around well after it’s over. Asking out, saying yes to a date, planning a party, discussions with friends, surfing the internet for ideas and of course most importantly, THE DRESS! We know how important and yet overwhelming this thing is for us, because “been there, done that.”And that's why I'm pitching in, to talk all about it and make life easier for you. Let's start with the basics and go through the process—a step-by-step guide to choosing the right prom dress.
This will perhaps be the first time you will wear a gown or a dress that will be special for really long, and thus you need to invest your time. So, the point is to start planning well in advance.
Budget your expense, which might be the most important part of any big shopping affairs. Have cushion space to hover around any unforeseen expenses. More often than not, there will be a plus here or a minus there in the original budget.
Getting it stitched or buying a ready-to-wear one? Either way, there will be a few alterations to be made. So go over the details, again start at least a few weeks in advance. If you procrastinate thinking you have all the time in the world, you are wrong. As the day nears and with so much to look into you will be pressed for time.
If there is a theme in mind from a movie or show you watched as a kid; from one of the magazine covers—draw inspiration. Getting inspired helps because you will need it and it's a good place to start and a reference when you start planning.
You need to understand your body type, which we will be talking about in a bit. But be aware of your body and what suits well. That is like half the battle won.
A known body type and budget will automatically give you a better understanding to narrow down further.
The fabric is the next big piece of the puzzle. Pick a cloth that complements your body type and enhances your overall look.
The color of the dress might seem frivolous, but it makes a lot of difference too. Keep in mind the theme, your body type, fabric, etc. before you zero in on one. One of those negotiable details, nevertheless, be prepared.
Corsage, shoes and accessories are other little yet imperative details that must come together to make it all work.
