Prom Dresses: Balancing Cute and Gorgeous

Monday, June 23, 2014
Shopping for prom dresses is like walking a tightrope. You don't want to look old, but you don't want to look too cute either. Thankfully, many designers have long taken care of this problem.

It's better to follow a few general guidelines when buying your prom dress:

Shop ahead and early. This way, you won't stress or panic about there being a bunch of competition over buying that perfect dress. Buying early also gives you plenty of time for alterations, if any are needed. You might even end up completely personalizing your dress, making it unique, and making yourself safe from having a duplicate at prom!

Early shopping gives you time for shipping! That's right, why go to your local mall or collection of boutiques when you can order online instead? Many online clothing stores offer free shipping within the state or country. You might even snag incredible bargains on designer pieces!

Don't just look at one store. Look around before deciding on a dress, unless you find one that looks gorgeous the first time you try it on. If you're short on time and patience and can't do the rounds, make sure your purchase comes with a return policy.

Now for the cute and gorgeous!

Steer clear of too much cuteness and pick jewel colors. Wear shoes in a complementing shade! For example, wear red shoes with a deep purple dress. Your date can get you a red corsage to match!

Speaking of shoes, nude is also a classic recently revived in the fashion world. Look for the perfect shade that closely matches your skin tone. You can also go for the barefoot look and wear colors on your nails instead with clear and transparent shoes!

I dare you to step out of the mainstream in a chic and sassy pattern like polka dots! You just might be the belle of the ball then!

Cute prom dresses would be ruined by bad choices in your source of warmth. Wraps are passé, so why not use boleros instead? If your prom is in winter and you need a bolero, then make it useful!

Avoid lace and loose knits that won't keep you warm. Go for faux fur. Ask around and see if your mom, aunts, cousins, or adult friends have one you can borrow. They can be pricey, but if you have the money for it, go ahead and invest in it! You won't regret it! Choose three quarter sleeves, not skimpy capes that barely cover your upper arms! Now pin a brooch on it that matches your cute prom dress
