ITH PROM JUST AROUND THE CORNER, FIGURING OUT HOW
TO PICK THE PERFECT PROM DRESS MAY SEEM LIKE A FUN BUT SCARY MISSION.
THERE ARE VERY FEW TIMES IN
YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU GET TO WEAR A TRULY GLAMOROUS,
JAW-DROPPING DRESS SO YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS
COUNT; BUT HOW DO YOU TELL IF THE DRESS YOU’VE HAD YOUR EYE ON WILL LOOK
AS GOOD ON YOU AS ON THE RACK? HOW DO YOU COPY THAT HOT CELEBRITY LOOK YOU SAW ON THE RED CARPET?
HOW DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT TO PICK? CHECK OUT THESE TIPS FROM CELEBRITY HIGH TO MAKE SURE YOU GET IT RIGHT!
KEEP TRACK OF THE TIME - TIMING IS CRUCIAL IN PROM DRESS SELECTION. YOU WANT TO START LOOKING EARLY ENOUGH TO HUNT FOR WHAT YOU WANT BUT BE CAREFUL; BEFORE A BIG EVENT YOU CAN EASILY GAIN OR LOSE WEIGHT. BOYFRIEND TROUBLES, STRESS, SEASONAL CHANGES AND EVEN NORMAL GROWTH PATTERNS CAN EASILY CAUSE YOU TO BE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SIZE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
TIME YOUR PURCHASE AROUND 4-6 WEEKS BEFORE YOU MOST FORMAL GOWNS REQUIRE ALTERATIONS FOR A PERFECT FIT SO YOU WILL WANT TO ALLOW ENOUGH TIME TO HAVE THESE DONE. A WEEK BEFORE YOUR PROM PLAN TO TRY ON YOUR DRESS WITH YOUR SHOES, JEWELRY, MAKE-UP AND HAIRSTYLE TO BE SURE YOU LIKE THE FINISHED LOOK AND HAVE THE CORRECT FIT. THIS WILL LEAVE YOU ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE ANY NEEDED ADJUSTMENTS. PROM.
KEEP IT COMFY- THERE IS NOTHING MORE MISERABLE THAN BEING OUT WHEN YOU TRY ON POTENTIAL DRESSES DON’T FORGET TO MOVE AROUND; TESTING FOR FLEXIBILITY AND MOVEMENT. IF THE DRESS WON’T MOVE WHEN YOU TRY ON IT WON’T GET BETTER LATER. PICK A DRESS THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO WALK, DANCE, SIT DOWN, MOVE AND PARTY ALL NIGHT. COMFORT IS DOUBLY IMPORTANT FOR SHOES. CHOOSE YOUR SHOES SEVERAL WEEKS EARLIER AND WEAR THEM IN AT HOME. IF YOU DO THIS SEVERAL WEEKS EARLY AND DISCOVER THEY’RE STILL NOT COMFORTABLE YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO SCRAP THEM AND GET A NEW PAIR. THERE’S NOTHING WORSE THAN BLISTERS ON THE NIGHT FROM NEW SHOES SCRAPING YOUR FEET TO SHREDS! IT DAMPENS THE
AND UNCOMFORTABLE.
