Proms would be the the majority of fascinating dance of the school year; everyone there is so dressed up and looks their best, the guys in their tux and the girl on their arm in a wonderful dress. Everyone notices the gowns; so you should look your most incredible so when they talk you don't want to be the person that everyone says derogatory statements about your dress. While this may seem like hard decisions and very stressful, if you follow commonsense and a few guidelines to smart shopping you won't just be better dressed but will make others notice with admiration and maybe even a touch of jealousy from other girls that do not know that skin tone, hair, accessories and shoes are all a part of your Prom look.

Prom dresses are always wonderful to look at, try on or imagine how you would look in them, but one thing you don't want to do is to pick out a prom gown that does not flatter you, whether it shows to much skin, is the wrong color or the type of it does not flatter your shape.

Picking out the right dress is difficult, you want a certain look, a certain design and you want many options, at the shops those problems are solved, there's a large selection of dresses for the Prom. In the right color for you, with the right style to fit your shape and plain or with the right adornments, and with all of this you'll be the "bell of the ball."

Each section of what you will wear has an effect on the rest of what you will wear, if you're wearing a dress of a dark color then you can want light accessories, silver or glass form of jewelry to enhance your look rather than something that is dark that will just blend making one large color. Shoes should also be matched to the dress, a long dress usually will look better with a shoe with a heel on it, rather than a flat shoe, but it doesn't mean a heel that is extra high as this will not give you much comfort for the evening.

Rather than a dress which is low cut, you can opt for a dress which has beads or sequins as an adornment to show off your outfit, accessories can also help to make the look of the dress one to remember, beauty is not always skin.

Color is also essential to make your dress perfect for you, the wrong color can make your skin appear washed out, it can make your face and your hairstyle appear non-existent. So, color is very important, to bring out your features.

There are items called color wheels which will let you know what shades are for your type of skin color, for makeup and there are also ones for clothes. This is an important night and you wish to be noticed for the right reasons, not blend in, and not be noticed for the wrong reasons. You have decisions to make and they should not be stressful, but you should consider them carefully to make the correct choice in your dress.

Do you have good shoulders that you would look nice in a dress with thin straps or no straps? Do you want to wear your hair up and want to show your neck off because it is a great feature, then a dress that shows off your neck might be right. Is there a certain color that when you wear it everyone tells you how nice you look? They're things that you might consider when you're picking out your Prom gown.

If you are not sure about color you will get color swatches and check them against your skin and hair to decide if a colour will look right on you.

Year later when you look at your Prom photos you still want to be proud of that Prom, you do not need to sit there and say, what was I thinking. Proms should be fun and exciting, it is a step closer to being an adult, and as a teenager you want to look pretty and stylish. You want to remember it as having fun, but not being the talk because of the gown you chose.

The dress you pick needs to fill many requirements and the more choices which you have means the more chance you have of finding just the right one, the right color and the right style, once you have the right dress for your coloring, size, shape and your accessories the only thing that can make you stand out now will be your dancing.
