How to Pick Prom Gowns and Avoid the Most Commonly Experienced Pitfalls
Choosing a prom gown is a sometimes frustrating endeavor. Sure, you want to look and feel a bit like Barbie, but remember that Barbie did not have to deal with real life issues, such as using the restroom or walking or down stairs. In the same vein, budget is a huge consideration for many a teen, and by the time you add up the cost of the dress, any alterations (if needed) and also the cost of accessories such as shoes, handbag, hairpieces, jewelry, undergarments, and of course the haircut and manicure, you know that you are looking at a seriously expensive venture!
How to pick prom gowns also and avoid the most commonly experienced pitfalls is not as hard as it seems, though, and many a prom goer swears by these little tips and tricks:
* Try on a number of different dress styles and designer labels to find one that you click with. Perhaps it is the feel of the material or the cut of the garment that makes it comfortable; no matter how your friends rave about the other dresses, remember that you are the one wearing it!
* Get professionally fitted. Sure, you think you can do it yourself but submitting to the authority of an experienced seamstress or prm gown maker who can tell you which colors will flatter your complexion and which cut will how of your physical attributes while perhaps covering over the not so perfect aspects of your body is well worth the extra time and effort.
* Put your dress on layaway. Yes, the temptation is to buy it outright, but if you have a hard time finding accessories or simply change your mind as the prom draws nearer, you will find that the financial hit is far smaller than had you already invested in the garment.
* Pay attention to the cut of the prom gown and then purchase undergarment to fit. In other words, if you choose a strapless gown, you need to find a strapless bra that fits you. Don’t “pad” your bra in order to fit a too generously cut gown; instead, have it altered to fit your body. Many a falsie has made for an embarrassing moment in time when it slipped and fell!
* Read up on fashion tips that will help you to decide on how much dress adornment you should opt for. Those with a gorgeous tan and well proportioned body can pull off a gown that is heavy on the rhinestones while those with a very light complexion and perhaps a bit of baby fat left should go sparingly on the sparkles.
