Getting Gorgeous: Tips For Finding The Perfect Prom Dress
By Differin Staff

The gown is a pretty important part of prom—in it, you’ll be gorgeous, glam and ready to go. Get the dress of your dreams with these top tips.

Go pre-shopping shopping.

Flip through magazines—from teen to celebrity style—and tear out pictures of dresses you love. Search fashion websites. Getting a sense of all the styles out there clues you in to what you like—and what you definitely don’t.

Know your best colors.

Check out photos of yourself and see which colors best compliment your skin and hair—and which leave you looking ragged. See if you spot yourself in any super-flattering styles, or ask a fashion-forward friend what they think makes you look most fab.

Set a budget.

Knowing how much cash your can drop on a dress before heading out is a huge help. It’s not worth getting into debt for an outfit you may wear just one night—especially since today’s stores sell glam-and-gorgeous gown at every price point. Make sure to include things like tax and alterations in your budget.

Accentuate your assets.

Most of use have body parts we love those we, well, don’t. Don’t dwell on the negative; instead, think about showing what you like most. Got great arms? Go sleeveless. Shapely shoulders? Strapless. Carved calves? Go short. You get the point.

Shop early in the day.

Hit the stores when they first open so racks will still be neat, organized and full instead of a picked-through disaster. Morning is also when you’ll have the most energy to try on lots of styles—a must to find your dream dress.
