Tips to Choose a Right Prom Dress

Leave a comment

Prom is a formal dance held for high school students at the end of an academic year. It’s an event all the high school students looked forward to. It’s an important and memorable day in a school-life, something that you would cherish all your life.

Every teenage girl awaits this day eagerly. The most eventful part of a prom night is the crowning of the prom queen and the prom king. Undoubtedly, every girl dreams of becoming a prom queen. Hence it’s important that you choose the dress that fits you well. Here are some tips that you should keep in mind before buying the dress:

Choose Prom Dress According to your Figure

There are different gowns for different body shapes. It’s imperative that you choose the dress that looks good on your figure rather than in a magazine. Get a gown which complements your figure, focusing on your assets while de-emphasizing on flaws. You can find prom dresses online in a variety of styles and designs and that too at an affordable rate.


Keep it simple
You want to stand out in the crowd on the occasion of prom night. But remember you can look great even with a simple, elegant gown on you. There is no point in going for something wild or flashy. After all, you are having a party in the school. You can check out elegant, and stunning prom dresses at Discounted Prices Online too.


Get a Size Larger
Prom dresses usually are one size smaller just like wedding gowns. So get a dress a size larger so that they fit you perfectly.


Emphasize on assets
The mantra is show off the assets and hide the flaws. If you have great legs, then go for short prom dress. Got great arms, wear sleeveless gown. And got shapely shoulders then go for strapless gowns.

Listen to the advice
Always have an ear for the opinions of your mother and friends. They can help you in deciding which style and color suits you best.

Keep garments on while trying
It’s important that you wear proper undergarments while trying on the dress. It will help you know whether the dress fits you properly or not.

Set Proper time for Alterations
Most of the times, a prom dress needs to be altered according to the measurement. So buy your prom dress and shoes too, much in advance so that you get the required time for alteration work.
In the end, it’s not about just how beautiful your dress is; it’s also about how gracefully you carry the prom dress. After all, attitude matters.

Select the Best Dress for Your Homecoming Occasions

Leave a comment

Homecoming often comes around to many mixed emotions: a sign of relief that you will be re-united with your friends, and anxiousness about the idea that school year is starting once again and you will have to do homework. Perhaps all of these emotions come together when you finally arrive at school, ready for homecoming events. Homecoming should not be a stressful season. It should be a time to you celebrate having a good time with yourself or the close friends that you have enjoyed school with thus far.

What better way to get excited about homecoming season than finding the perfect homecoming dress which can reflect your individuality? A homecoming dress can say many things. You can be the center of attention by wearing bright colors, reflect your natural state by getting colors that bring out your natural beauty, or you can be rebellious by wearing a long dress with many added accessories. Are you funky? If so, what about a vintage dress? Do you want to give off the classy look or do you want to look more professional? All of these factors you can consider while selecting the perfect homecoming dress.

When selecting your homecoming dress, perhaps the most important question to ask yourself is: what represents you?

Remember, your clothes are not you, but rather they are an extension of how you feel and represent yourself. If you are progressive minded, homecoming is the season for reinvention of self. Either you could repeat last year by pulling that old dress out of the closet, or you could really take the risk to be yourself by trying something new, and thus reinventing yourself. Finding the perfect dress can be the easiest way to make sure you enjoy the season and accomplish this. There is nothing worse than being insecure and being uncomfortable by wearing a style that does not represent you.

While it is true that your interior speaks volumes about your exterior, the vice versa is true as well: your exterior will speak volumes about your interior. How you carry yourself, dress yourself, and even keep your personal hygiene will clue people in to who you are, and how you think of yourself. The perfect homecoming dress will be able to that will speak volumes about the summer you just had, the person you were last school year, and the person you are becoming this year.

Colors Tips And Ideas On Your Bridesmaids Dresses

Leave a comment

This article gives the bride color tips and ideas on what she might like for her bridesmaids dresses.I have a few suggestions below. You may want to present these to your attendants and see which ones they like best. Any combination will work. You’ve chosen a monochromatic color scheme so any lightness or darkness of purple is acceptable.

Dress your bridesmaids in lavender and your Maid/Matron of honor in plum. I did this at my wedding. Our colors were silver and light blue. I wore a white dress with silver and light blue accents. My bridesmaids were in light blue while my Maid and Matron of honor were in a dark silver. You could also, conversely, put your bridesmaids in plum and the maid/matron in lavender. However, it is generally more popular to dress the maid/matron in a darker color so as to contrast the bride better.

Dress them all in lavender with plum sashes or accents. The accents may be shawls, wraps, or ribbons. Many brides who choose this route also have ribbons of the accents in their bouquets and the attendants’ bouquets.

Dress them in plum dresses with lavender bouquets. You may also want to include lavender accents. Since the lavender is on your dress, you definitely want it to be more of a secondary color than the plum. So if you do dress them all in plum, you need to make sure the lavender definitely stands out as well.

I advise against dressing them in patterned dresses or dual-tone dresses. This will make your wedding party look too busy since your dress already has a floral pattern. Stick with elegant but non-ornate dresses for your attendants. I personally would go with either the 1st or 2nd suggestion.

Taffeta is rarely found in bridesmaid dresses, this is because it’s a very luxurious fabric and to be honest, it’s likely to stand out more than the bride!

You’re looking more at high street retailers which only stock ‘fashion’ colors. You’ll be paying a little extra but it’s worth going to bridal stores as they will have the color selections all year round. They usually have all styles available in all colors too, so you should find something you like.

Forever yours & Romantic also have chocolate brown in their collection. Most designers have bridesmaid ranges these days.All the designers have stockiest lists on their websites so you can find the nearest store to you. You’ll usually find galleries as well so you can have a browse at some of the different styles they have.

Plum & silver sounds lovely! Silver accents would be lovely on your plum dresses. If you go for another color, it can over-complicate the look. As silver is the ‘accessory’ color (this means its the color used to complement your main color, which is used in hints) then it would be very suitable.

What you have suggested sounds lovely! I can especially picture these dresses in chiffon. Organza can be quite stiff, the cheaper organza has a shimmer to it and it makes it look cheap!

Despite it being the evening, it’ll still be light so the tangerine sounds like s good compromise. Very zesty!

Do be warned – please try this color and T length style on your bridesmaids as it doesn’t suit everyone.
Your bridesmaids would really need to be tall for the length as it can stunt shorter ladies.

Tangerine is a lovely color but can wash out some complexions – also if any of your bridesmaids are larger they may well end up looking literally like a tangerine!

If tangerine is too severe then try a more peachy orange instead. It’s softer and kinder to complexions and will look very elegant in chiffon. Lemon or sunshine yellow is a lovely color as well, believe it or not. Along with a golden tan (fake or otherwise!) it simply glows.

Long, flowing drapes and gentle scallop frills are very much in this year and will look super on your bridesmaids. If you have larger bridesmaids then the styles with the folds / roaches across the waist draw the waist in and make for a shapely figure. There is some lovely t-length styles lovely peachy color. This color is really lovely and is one of the colors I’d recommend as an alternative to tangerine.

I had my bridesmaids wear black floor length gowns for my wedding in the middle of May simply because I had my heart set on a very formal wedding!! Needless to say, it turned out looking beautiful. Whatever color of style of dresses you choose for your girls, the pictures will no doubt turn out great. Go with what you imagine being the perfect look or you may regret it down the line and wish you had gone with your tangerine dresses.
