Answers to Common Questions About Prom Dresses
May 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment
There are few occasions that are as nerve-wracking as prom night. This is because, aside from the anxiety provoking what ifs the night of the prom, you have to avoid all of the potential pitfalls leading up to the prom. Whether you’re going with the date of your dreams or you′re planning to attend the prom with a group of girlfriends, there’s no getting around the issue of prom dresses. Finding the right eveningwear such a formal occasion can seem like an impossible challenge. Here, then, are answers to common questions that relate to prom dresses, homecoming dresses, and quinceanera dresses.
1. I′m short and want to look taller for my prom. What should I do?
There are three elements that can help you appear taller on your special night: the right heels, the right prom dress, and the right hairstyle. First, plan on wearing high heels. Whether you add one inch or three with high heels, it’s important that you look for prom dresses that will accommodate the heels. You might want to go with a cocktail length dress, but a floor length dress will add length to your body – and an illusion of height. Look for floor length prom dresses that have side slits for better maneuverability. Finally, take care in selecting your hairstyle. Go with an updo to add height – even if you need to add extensions or a hairpiece.
2. I′m a senior in high school, but I look like an eighth grader. How do I look older for prom?
When it comes to maturity, keep two things in mind: bearing and appearance. Body language is important, in that how you move your body, how you tilt your head, the timber of your voice, and the way you walk all speak volumes about your perceived age. While you definitely don′t want to pretend you’re someone you’re not, this might be a good opportunity to practice skills that will help you evolve into the person you want to be. Practice walking in your prom shoes, watch your facial expressions in the mirror, record your voice to hear how it sounds, and so forth. Make any adjustments (and practice) so that your mannerisms reflect what you feel inside.
When you look for prom dresses, look for those that are more formal. Formal clothing makes women appear older, as do colors that are dark and rich. Depending on your coloring, you might want to go with jewel tones, black, or chocolate brown.
3. How do I know how to have my hair styled for prom?
How you fashion your hair greatly depends upon the style of your prom dress. If your dress has a high collar or a busy neckline, an updo is the only way to go. On the other hand, if your prom dress is sleeveless, strapless, or has spaghetti straps, you can wear your hair long or short, full or sleek. The one caveat is to make sure your hair doesn’t cover up an important feature of your prom dress. That gorgeous keyhole back, for example, will be invisible if you have hair down to your waist!
Tips for Selecting Prom Dresses and Having the Perfect Prom Night
May 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment
There’s no doubt that prom night is one of the most special nights in your life, and one that you’ll remember for years to come. Arguably, prom night is even bigger than homecoming or your quinceanera. Here are some tips that will ensure your prom night is memorable – for all the right reasons!
Preparation is Key
There are so many elements to prom night that it’s easy to forget something important. It′s best to start with a list that has everything you need to do, and thing check items off as you go along.
Shopping for Prom Dresses
It’s crucial to start shopping for prom dresses early. Remember that your formal eveningwear can take up to eight weeks to arrive, so start looking for prom fashion well before then. When considering your choices, find a style that fits your body type, is well made, and that has a fabrication and color that flatters your figure and your complexion.
When it comes to prom dresses – or other formal clothing – the fit is rarely perfect. Don’t fret if you have to have your dress altered, but do make sure that you have enough time to do so.
Don’t Forget Accessories
You can have the most beautiful eveningwear in the world, but without the right foundations and accessories, you can easily have a fashion disaster on your hands. Select a bra, hose, or shapewear that fit well and that won’t show under your prom dress. Make sure the shoes you choose are comfortable enough to last the evening. Stilettos might be stylish, but if you have to take them off after ten minutes, the look of your gown will be ruined. Similarly, make sure that your jewelry and purse complement your prom dress, rather than overwhelming it. Remember – less is more.
Set Up Your Appointments
Salons are extremely busy during the prom season, so be sure to make your appointments well ahead of the big day. You should definitely have your hair done professionally, since your hair is an integral part of your prom fashion statement. You may also want to have your makeup professionally done. You can schedule your manicure, pedicure, and tanning appointments for the day before prom, but if you want to have a facial, do so at least a week before the event. Facials are great for your skin, but can prompt breakouts a day or two afterward. You don′t want to suffer a major breakout on prom day! While you′re at it, don’t forget to order your date’s boutonniere.
Prom Parties
Make and finalize your pre- and post-prom plans well in advance of prom night. If you′re going to dinner, make sure that reservations are made. Make sure all of the transportation plans are in place. If you’re going out afterwards, be certain to talk with your friends and understand where you’re going, who will be driving, and what’s going to take place. Having your plans finalized demonstrates good judgment, and will help reassure your parents that you will act responsibly.
Have Fun!
Everything from buying prom dresses to making appointments to planning prom festivities can sometimes obscure the real reason for prom – to have fun! No event ever goes exactly as planned – even with great preparation – so make sure to be flexible. When you are, you’ll have a great time and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Finding the Right Prom Dress

No doubt Prom is the highlight of any senior’s year. Prom marks the end of a long journey. It′s a time to reflect on the past, and move on towards the future. With how important Prom is you want to make sure that you have the right Prom Dress! Below are some tips that will ensure that your Prom dress is a hit.
Color – Everyone has a different complexion. Some Complexions work well with some colors and some don′t. Things like tanning or dying your hair can help change this but it’s still you. Find a color that works with your complexion not against it.
Size – Buy a dress that fits! Prom is not a time to be cheap and save a little money by purchasing a dress that is a size too big or small. Find a dress that fits your body shape, and that will bring out the best in you.
Accessorize – Prom dresses all by themselves can be quite boring at times. Its amazing though how a simple dress can look with something as simple as a flower or a wrap. Keep finding a dress as first priority and accessories second. You will run into a nightmare if you try to find a dress to match accessories.
Coordinate – Chances are you have a date that will be taking you to Prom. Communicate with him to figure out what he is going to be wearing as far as style and color to make sure that you will coordinate with him. This is often overlooked but can you see the importance for example if: You buy a light colored dress that has a retro feel to it, and your date is going for a flash look with shiny suit and tie. The two just won’t match and you will end up looking like an odd pair.
Take your time when looking for a dress. Prom is important! I would recommend taking the above into consideration remember though that confidence can make any dress look good, so if the dress you really want doesn’t really work for you, Get it! Feel good about yourself and have a same prom.

Capture Red Carpet Looks with Pageant and Prom Dresses
May 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The best prom nights are magical and create memories that will last a lifetime. In the midst of coming up with ideas for the prom decorating committee and fretting about whether or not she’ll be asked out by the boy she pines for, one central issue stands apart from the rest: What will she wear? Shopping for prom dresses and deciding from among the best prospects can take weeks, if not months. For that reason, it′s never too soon to start shopping for prom dresses.
Although parents may shake their heads in wonder, prom dresses can make or break the prom experience – even more than her prom date (or lack thereof). This season, girls are looking to re-create the glamour and excitement of the red carpet by wearing dresses just like those seen on celebrities. Dress manufacturers keep a keen eye on the awards ceremonies, where celebs like Beyonce, Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts, Keira Knightly, Salma Hayek, and Charlize Theron glide down the red carpet, nodding to the paparazzi and creating trends in formal wear.
The other inspiration for this season’s prom dresses can be found in pageant dresses, like those worn at the Miss American and Miss USA pageants. Contestants exude a combination of elegance and excitement when wearing their pageant dresses. Dress manufacturers re-create that aura when they design pageant replicas, in the hope that the prom dresses will make girls feel as though the tiara awaits them on their special nights.
Celebrity dresses and pageant dresses are in fashion, but who are the fashionable manufacturers of prom dresses? Jovani, Niteline, Alyce, and Marc Bouwer top the list. The hottest prom dresses of the season have an intoxicating combination: they have some design elements that are revealing, while other design elements have more decorum. For example, the front of a taffeta gown might be deceptively simple, with a sweetheart bodice and a front slit. The back, however, may be bare with only a crisscross of rhinestones. Similarly, a silk sating gown may have a halter top with beaded French netting wrapping the midriff. Circle around, though, and the matching beaded straps cross high on an otherwise bare back.
When it comes to colors this season, the palette is virtually limitless. Pale yellows, peaches, and greens are in as are the bright fuchsias, turquoises, and reds. Prints are even making an appearance, although are generally limited to eye-catching white polka dots against a black background, accented with a bright red taffeta sash.
Prom dresses should allow a girl to make a statement about her personality. In many ways, prom dresses are a girl’s projection of how she sees herself and the image she wants to project to the world. Although parents may be tempted to rein her in, it may be the time to let her shine. When she’s able to choose the dress that speaks to her, she′s well on her way to creating those lifetime memories.
