Hi my deer ladies!

Today I'm going to talk about picking the perfect prom dresses uk. Everyone wants to have the best prom experience possible, and a big must to make this night unforgettable is to have a beautiful dress that makes you feel amazing. Still, to get this elusive gown, there are a lot of things to consider, and I’ll be honest, it’s going to take some time and effort. But if you’re willing to put in the work, you can find yourself going to the prom as the star of the night.

Styles

The first thing most of us would think about is what kind of dress style we want to wear. Without even trying a dress on, we can already imagine ourselves being as timeless as Audrey Hepburn in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Sadly, you can’t just go out and buy whatever style you like. Remember, not all styles go with all body types. If you're petite, a long prom dresses can make you look even shorter, while if you're chest heavy, a strapless dress can keep everyone's attention on your curves. Picking the wrong style can make you feel conscious the whole night, keeping you from having the fun you’re supposed to. You need to know what kind of body shape you have so that you know what types of styles will complement your features.

On the other hand, you can bring attention to your more flattering features with your dress, too. For example, if you want to show off your legs, get a dress with a short hem. If you want to create curves for your body, go for a dress that has a defined waistline, like an A-Line or Empire Cut dress. The secret to the best style for you is the dress that works for you and your body.

Colors

Black is always a safe color for a formal event, but for prom it's worth it to experiment. One of the first things you have to check for colors is to see how well they go with your skin tone. I do this by holding the vintage prom dresses up to my face to see how the color works with my skin tone. You’ll be surprised that sometimes even the most beautiful colors can make you look dull, while something a bit more subdued can make you glow. Don’t be afraid to try something you normally wouldn’t; you might just find a gem.

If you’re thinking of being able to use your prom dress for events other than prom, be wary of trend colors; they might not always be ‘in’. They can go out of style as fast as they came into style, leaving you with a something you’ll have a hard time wearing out. Instead, invest in colors that you know look good on you, so that you can wear them whenever you want.

Themes

If your prom has a theme, it’s important to try and adhere to it while making yourself unique. It might be fun to be the only one wearing a lovely maroon gown at a pastel themed prom, but then you’ll be remembered for all the wrong reasons. You also need to keep in mind the other aspects of your prom that can affect your dress, like your makeup, your shoes, your accessories, and lastly, your date.

If you already have makeup and shoes in mind, make sure you choose a dress color that matches your makeup, and a style that matches your shoes. A floor length dress will easily hide your beautiful heels. If you want to wear your grandmother’s extravagant necklace to your prom, try to look for a dress that has a deep neckline so your necklace is emphasized. Finally, if you have a prom date and he plans on attending in a plum colored suit, things might not go well. Talk to your date and get an idea of what he or she is wearing so you can coordinate or at least prepare yourself. Your prom is their prom, too!

In the end, the prom dresses 2014 is your dress, and it should express who you are. The best dress for you is the one that makes you feel happy and confident in yourself. Keep that in mind and have fun at your prom!
