A – Attention to Detail:
Pay attention to details when choosing your perfect prom dress. The details of your dress will set you apart from the other girls in the room just like the little quirks in your personality make you special from anyone else in the room. Look for a dress that has something special about it that you think reflects your sense of style. Choose a dress with funky beading if you enjoy a little flair in your everyday outfits. Try a dress with a full skirt if you feel like royalty. The details of your gown will make you feel confident and special.

B — Body is Key:
Your prom gown should make you feel beautiful and special. Your prom gown will be featured in everyone’s memories and pictures for years to come. When choosing the dress for your big night, one of the most important decisions you will make is the decision to buy a dress that compliments your body. In the United States, the average size for women is a 12. A size 12 is not super model thin, but a size 12 has curves and character that will make the right dress sing. No matter what size you are, choosing a dress that fits your properly will make you comfortable and allow you to shine much brighter than if you chose a dress that was too small or too large just because you weren’t comfortable with your body.

Prom dresses come in many styles, so you are bound to find a dress that compliments your favorite features and covers up the parts of you that you don’t feel like putting in the spot light. Do you love your shoulders? Try a strapless or spaghetti strapped dress to emphasize your shoulders and slim your waist. Do you think you have fabulous legs? Dare to wear a short prom dress, and let everyone know just how lovely your legs look in purple taffeta or ruffles. No matter what your favorite body part, whether it be your size 2 waist or the unique freckles on your back, you should feel empowered to display your best in a way that is comfortable enough to dance in all night long.

C – Confidence Ices the Cake
Your prom dress is nothing without you in it. You are more beautiful than any slim skirt or sparkly number. When you decide which dress will be a part of your special evening, never put it on without first putting on your confident face. This is your night and all about how special you are. Your prom gown will be more beautiful if you feel beautiful in it. Go ahead and feel pretty – you are!
