Prom Dresses

prom dress
Gen Wright asked:


In any American woman’s life, there will be two important dresses. The most important one of these is the wedding dress or bridal gown, and the second is her prom dress. Even if you’re not homecoming queen, your prom is still a special and important occasion that is one of the few occasions that an ordinary middle-class girl gets to shine and strut her stuff.

Most girls certainly take their prom dresses seriously, and it’s quite common for classes in the days leading up to the senior prom to be rather disrupted by plans for the prom, prom dresses, makeup and hair-dos. Thankfully, by buying prom dresses online, some of the old fuss of taking two or three days off school to hit the shops for fittings, choosing fabric and the like can be avoided. And by buying a good, discount prom dress, a lot of the expense can be avoided ? a real relief for parents who may have to fork out for further education and also for a wedding down the track.

So what are you going to wear to the prom? In many ways, you have even greater choice in prom dresses than you do with wedding dresses ? nobody’s going to make any assumptions about your virtue or lack thereof from the colour of your prom dress, but white is worn for weddings to symbolise purity and virtue.

Let’s start with the colour of your prom dress. It’s best to select a shade that complements the colour of your skin and hair. A good general rule of thumb is if you have reddish or bluish tones to your skin, then you should choose shades that contain blues and reds, while if you have more golden tones to your skin, you should choose yellow-based tones. This doesn’t mean that if you love green but have pinkish skin you have to avoid wearing your favourite colour to the prom: it just means that your prom dress should be in a bluer shade of green ? a nice turquoise or eau de nil would be perfect.

When considering the colour and pattern, you should also consider your overall shape and size. If you’re a little on the chubbier side and all your efforts to lose weight don’t seem to be quick enough, then a darker shade is more slimming ? but don’t feel limited to basic black. Dark purple, navy blue, chocolate brown, burgundy and deep forest green are other svelte options.

What about the cut of your prom dress? As with bridal gowns, you should select a prom dress that is cut so that it either reveals or hugs tightly to your better features and skims loosely around the bits you don’t want to emphasise. So if you have the pear shape that’s typical of the majority of women (in other words, a smaller bust, a small to medium sized waist, and larger hips, buttocks and thighs), then something that is looser around the butt and legs and nipped in around the waist will be flattering ? and you may also want to draw attention to another great feature like dainty ankles, toned arms or statuesque shoulders. However, if you’re proud of your generous butt, then show it off with a mermaid cut (tight around the waist and hips, then flared around the hemline) or maybe an eyecatching feature like a bow at the back.

Wedding Dresses - Attire Tips

wedding dress
Rafi Michael asked:


One of the biggest decisions you will face as the big day approaches is choosing the perfect wedding dress and wedding attire. The process of shopping for a wedding dress can be a fabulous adventure, but it can also be stressful and overwhelming–particularly because a bride-to-be often starts shopping for her gown before many other details are determined. You might have had a clear mental picture of the perfect wedding dress ever since you were five years old.

Take a few minutes to think about what you want. It will be helpful when you enter the maze of wedding dresses out there to know what your budget is, any details that are essential (i.e. I must have a full skirt, or my arms must be covered), and an idea of how traditional you want your dress to be. After all, if really a teal pantsuit would work best for you, it’s probably not worth your time to sort through racks of flouncy white gowns.

Give yourself ample time to plan- generally the rule of thumb is that you need to order your gown at least six months before your wedding. So you should ideally start shopping for your gown nine months or more before your wedding. (If you don’t have this much time, its okay, just budget for some rush charges).

On your wedding day, you’ll want to look great, but you’ll also want to be comfortable- it will be hard to pose for all those pictures, dance, laugh and more if you’re tugging your dress up or have boning jutting into your ribs. First- consider which wedding dress is most appropriate to your day - for example- consider a shorter tea-length or cocktail length dress for a beach wedding. If you’re the kinda gal who likes to dance with her hands in the air, and anticipates doing the limbo, perhaps a strapless dress is not the one for you. Look for wedding dresses with removable sleeves or straps to give you the widest range of options.

Think about your body type and what kinds of dresses generally look good on you. Take a look at what you regularly wear that makes you feel confident and beautiful, and then look for a wedding dress with similar lines.

If a friend is making your wedding dress, ensure that you have agreed on a fitting schedule and chances to make adjustments. If you’re looking for a bargain at a sample sale, or discount outlet, you should budget money for taking the dress to a good tailor. Many designers will ask for three fittings, and will closely tailor your wedding dress to fit you.

If money is an issue, remember that the most expensive kind of dress is not necessarily the best kind. Many brides find a bridesmaids dress in white or off-white that works perfectly, and is hundreds of dollars cheaper. There are thousands of dresses to be had at sample sales, thrift stores, and ebay. Consider taking pictures from magazines to a friend who sews or seamstress and getting a price quote.

If you choose to make your own dress, don’t delay. The sooner you finish it, the sooner you’ll be able to attend to the many other details of your wedding.

Don’t forget this is your wedding day. Wear whatever makes you comfortable and feels like you. And have fun shopping for your dress. It should be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Finding the Perfect Wedding Dress

wedding dress
Clare Mylrea asked:


For every anxious bride who has long dreamed of being able to enjoy a perfect wedding with just the right bridal gown to wear, there is good news because there are many wonderful wedding dresses to choose from to help make the dream a reality. In fact, it is true that there’s never been a greater selection of bridal gowns and this makes it easier to find the absolute perfect wedding dress for that special day.

When beginning a search for a wedding gown, it is a good idea to tap into the considerable resources that are available on the internet and also through the many bridal magazines and books available. It is easy to find stunning pictures of designer wedding dresses that will very quickly give you an idea of what you will find when you set foot inside a wedding dress shop.

Many of today’s brides enjoy putting technology to work for them and scouting the internet for various bridal gown styles they think might suite them. But before making a decision, it is strongly suggested that you step away from the computer and get out to at least a few wedding dress shops so that you can try on your special gown first. Even though there are plenty of people who buy many articles of clothing online or from catalogs, that’s really not the best way to go for a wedding dress.

One of the biggest problems that brides encounter when they are shopping for their wedding gown is choosing the right style that best flatters them. While it is easy to fall in love with a designer wedding gown in a magazine that is draped over the frame of a model, it is often disheartening when that same dress, even in the correct size, does not have the same look at all when the bride tries it on. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to set aside enough time for trying on many different wedding gown styles before buying.

There are two major reasons for being very careful and selective about the choice of the wedding gown. First of all, the bridal dress is probably going to be the most expensive item of clothing that the bride has ever purchased. And secondly, and most important, is that for her wedding day the bride wants to feel her most confident and sexy and having the perfect wedding dress for her body shape and size is essential for that to happen.

A bridal dress can be found in just about any style that one can imagine. Styles range from ultra-formal to moderately formal and even to semi-casual. The formality of the wedding dress should reflect and match the overall style and tone that is being set for the wedding and should also match with the groom’s attire for the day.

When planning the overall schedule, there should always be extra time allowed to be able to carry out some minor alterations to the gown. This is to be expected, regardless of whether the dress was custom made or if it was bought off the rack. There are always some minor adjustments to be made to make sure that the bridal gown is perfect for the occasion.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Wedding Dress

wedding dress
Gen Wright asked:

Your wedding day is around the corner, and you haven’t yet decided what to choose for your wedding dress? Is it the perfect time to panic? No it isn’t. This is but a very normal situation that today’s working professionals find themselves in. However, it must be kept in mind that there are few things to be considered before picking up a wedding dress. You simply cannot step inside a store and grab any wedding dress that you set your eyes on. This is your wedding and you just can’t be that casual while picking up a wedding dress. There are a few things to be considered while choosing a wedding dress. Sure it is natural for you to get really excited after you accept the proposal from your beau but soon it’s time to concentrate on the wedding dress.

One of the first and foremost things that you can do in regards to choice is to decide on a particular style In case you have no idea about wedding gown styles then you need to consider the following tips:

You have to make sure that the wedding dress that you choose suits your age. In case you are pretty young, you may not have much knowledge regarding what to wear. Certainly an old fashioned dress that is complete with longish sleeves and also has a high neckline may not be the right style for you. Similarly, in case you are not in youth, a strapless as well as a short dress probably would not be the very best idea for you because of weight issues that come with age.

The wedding dress that you choose should suit the particular body type you have. In case you have a curvaceous body, you probably would look nicer in a loosely fitting wedding dress that is flowing as well. In case the bride is petite, she should definitely go for a wedding dress with lots of decorations on them especially at the bust line and lower hips. Such decorations may comprise of beads as well as laces, or floral designs.

The wedding dress you choose should suit the seasonal trends, as you sure wouldn’t like to be called a ?slob with zero sense of fashion’ by anyone on that special day of yours. Summer wedding dresses can be strapless while a winter wedding dress should have more coverage in the form of a short jacket, short wrap, a shawl, or a stole over the shoulders.

Another need that can’t be overlooked is to match your wedding dress with the grooms clothing so you look like the perfect match.

Finally, the wedding dress chosen should gel with the thematic approach undertaken at the wedding and should not look out of place. In case of a renaissance themed wedding, you have to dress accordingly so as to look gorgeous, trendy and beautiful all at the same time.

Cheap Designer Wedding Dresses: The Three S

wedding dress
Sarrah Beaumont asked:

Recession or no recession, you may want to wear designer wedding dresses on your wedding day. And who can blame you? It is your moment of glory, after all, and moments of glory deserve only the finest finery!

With that being said here are the three S of getting your manicured hands on cheap designer wedding dresses.

Sample Sales

When you were a single lady, you probably heard of brides-to-be stampeding into stores in search of the Holy Grail of wedding dresses, designer or not. You probably thought, too, that there is no way on Earth you are going to be one of the masses, figuratively speaking of course.

However, now that you are about to add another ring to your finger, then you need to consider sample sales to save on wedding costs. Simply put, sample sales are events where stores sell their wedding wares at a discount, a hefty discount. This happens about once a year so you need to tap into your network of family and friends to be on the alert for these sales.

Here is how it works: You line up very early in the morning in front of the store. You then join the throngs of brides-to-be who dress and undress themselves in designer wedding dresses at the speed of light. You choose the dress and you pay for it.

Some tips: Go in your bathing suit to save on the hassles of getting into fitting rooms. Bring along a friend to help you with the process. Have an idea of your wedding dress to save time on looking at dresses that you will not like anyway. Most importantly, try to be a size 8 to 10 because that’s usually the largest size available.

Second-Hand Shops

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing second-hand designer wedding dresses especially when these are heirlooms. Think vintage and you can become one of the most fashionable brides on the block.

When you buy from second-hand stores, however, always opt for those in upscale neighborhoods for better finds. Or better yet, go to consignment shops. You can usually find better dresses in these stores since they only accept items in perfect and near-perfect conditions, which means more bargains for you.

Be sure to check if you can afford the cost of alterations and repairs since most second-hand shops don’t have return policies. Even if they profess to accept returns, put it in writing.

Sites over the Internet

Yes, the Internet is one of the best ways to save money on designer wedding dresses. Usually, websites will offer lesser prices than brick-and-mortar stores mainly because the profits of the middlemen are eliminated.

And then there are the auction sites like eBay, of course. You must proceed with caution, however, as there are Internet scammers who will not hesitate to rob money from starry-eyed brides like you.

When looking for the perfect designer wedding dresses to make you the glowing bride, you should never settle for less but you must balance it with your finances. Besides, who will know that what you’re wearing is cheap for a designer dress?

Tips to select a Designer Prom Dress

While opting for a designer prom dress, one has to be pretty confident that it will show her off at her best. In fact, whether buying a cheap department store gown or a beautiful designer prom dress, a girl can find it difficult to get one that suits her. Buying a formal gown normally leaves a girl at a loss even if she is an expert of buying jeans and T-shirts. It’s because most girls will be trying it for the first time.

One has to be very cautious while going for a designer prom as it is too expensive. A slight mistake can cost her a lot. An expensive designer prom is not a guarantee of beautiful looks. It has to be a perfect choice considering the personality of an individual. Instead, even a normal and cheap department store gown may look better, if properly chosen. If one follows some guidelines, she won’t have any problem in buying a perfect designer prom that would seem to be made for her.

While choosing a prom dress, the first thing that has to be considered is the size. If it doesn’t fit you, it’s futile for you no matter how nice it is. Therefore get your measurements right. You will have to remember that prom dresses run at least one size smaller. So pick dresses a size larger. Then only you will get a perfect fit.

Point to be noted that different styles of dresses complement different body shapes. Therefore one shouldn’t be predetermined about a particular style of dress. It’s necessary to keep an open mind and try out different styles to find the one that flatters one’s figure the best. It has been noticed that some girls often find themselves look fabulous in a dress which had been rejected by them previously.

A dress often looks better when worn than on a hanger. Hence, there is a chance of getting deprived of a well suited dress, if one rejects it instantly only because it doesn’t look good enough on a hanger. Instead, she should try the dress on. It may bring a change to her decision when contrary to her beliefs, she finds her gorgeous enough in the mirror.

As they say, eat according to your choice and wear according to the choice of your well wishers. It’s always preferable to seek the opinions of your kith and kin as they have been observing you since quite a long time and know what looks better on you. But of course, you are the one to take the final decision.

It’s always advisable to seek the help of the sales persons. They are the people having a meticulous knowledge about the dresses and are also familiar with the current trend. So it’s good to have a chat with them about your choice. They will definitely come out to assist you as they better know the confusion prevailing around the designer prom dresses.

Accessories should be decided according to the dress and not vice versa. Hence one should give a backseat to the selection of accessories till the designer prom dress is finalized. Afterwards, she is free to accessorize her dress keeping its color and also structure in view.

It will be a wise decision to buy the dress one or two months earlier. It gives enough time to make any alteration if required.
