by Pretty For Prom: A Girl’s Guide to Prom Dress Fashion
Prom night is one of the few times in your life when you can truly indulge in your glamorous side with a stunningly beautiful prom dress and a gorgeous prom hair style. As you glide down the stairs to meet your date, you will want to capture the moment in your mind as a time of incredible beauty and glamour. While a great hairstyle helps, nothing will make that moment sweeter than a figure-flattering prom dress that shows off every desirable feature and hides every flaw. To find the perfect dress for you, choose your figure from the list below to view customized tips and advice for your body shape.
Tall: If you feel like you’ve been towering over everyone (boys included) your whole life, try reducing the appearance of your height by wearing a short dress style with plenty of details and ruffles. A high-low prom dress with an asymmetrical hemline is also great for breaking up your height. Stay away from long, thin prom dresses and dresses with trains. These styles will lengthen your appearance.
Curvy: A curvy, full figure can be very sexy and glamorous in the right prom dress. If you have plenty of curves, feel free to showcase them in a simple-cut, knee-length dress. Choose a dress in a solid, darker shade with a halter neckline to slim your appearance. You should stay away from dresses with heavy patterns, prints, or a lot of ruches and flounces.
Petite: A petite figure is sexy and cute, but it can often be overwhelmed in a prom dress. To flatter your small frame, choose a dress with a shorter style that hugs your silhouette. A sheath-style dress that ends at the calf will show off your tiny waist. Stay away from long prom dresses with loose skirts that will overpower your body and make you shrink into the crowd.
Skinny: If you feel like you can never put any meat on your bones, no matter what you eat, you may want to try a prom dress with plenty of extra details to add a little weight to your appearance. A patterned style will make you seem a little fuller, and ruching or gathering at the hip will give your body the appearance of subtle curves. You will want to shy away from any dress styles that are very clingy or figure hugging.
Big Bust: A large bust can be excellently flattered in a prom dress, but the right amount of support is key. Look for a dress with a halter neckline for maximum support or wide-set straps that will allow you to wear a bra. A sleeveless dress style with a tight bodice is also ideal for minimizing your bust. You should stay away from dress styles with loose bodices or dresses that do not allow you to wear a bra.
On the big night, prom dress flattery is essential. Pay attention to these tips, and you will be sure to wow your date and friends with your glamorous beauty.
