All girls wonder,
*What style of dress will look best with my body type?
*Which hairstyle or makeup look will look good with my dress for prom?
*What jewelry should I wear?
*What shoes will look good?
Well I'm going to answer all of those questions, plus more <3
There are millions of dresses in the world, how do you know which one looks best on you?
Well first off you have to understand your body, and what is too tight,loose, short and long.
-Make sure to pick the size that fits YOU! Even if its not the size you thought you were going to get. Who cares if you're a size 0 or size 16?
-Remember if you're shorter, you don't need a long dress for prom. Many girls wear short dresses too.
Here are a few varieties of dresses:
(The Hair Styles will be after the dresses :) )
A tip for all dresses: Try not to pick the same color as your skin, make sure its at least 3 shades darker or lighter, so you don't look washed out.
Classic Dress:
- Wear lots of jewelry with this kind of dress, the necklace can be as big as you want it to be. If you're going for the classic look, wear pearls, and make sure the earrings aren't too big.
For the bottom dress, you do not need a necklace, but a small one would look fine, if you do not wear a necklace, wear larger earrings that match the sequins.
-This type of dress really shows off your chest and your high waist line. It is very flowy on the bottom and hides hips and legs. If you have a bigger chest and you do not like your waist, this is not the dress for you.
- For shoes, try to match your jewelry and do the silver or gold. If you wear the pearls then you could wear black, white, gold or silver shoes.Usually black is the best.
Mermaid Dress:
- As you see from the picture, this girl does not have a necklace on, this is because of the multiple placements of sequins on the dress.But do wear earrings that match the dresses sequins , silver or gold.
- This type of dress shows off your chest down to your hips. If you do not like a part of your body that is in that area, do not wear this type of dress. If your biggest concern is hiding your legs then this is perfect.
- Your shoes will not show, but if you still want to match then go for a silver or gold shoe, depending on your jewelry and dress sequins.
Opened Dress:
-This dress has a lot of sequins on one side of the body, so a necklace would be your choice, but if you were to wear one, make sure its not too big. Earrings can be anywhere from studs to medium sized. A bracelet looks nice too, but id wear it on the opposite arm of the sequin.
-This dress hides nothing. It shows your chest, back, sides, hips, legs and pretty tight on your stomach. This is not a dress for hiding ANYTHING it is for showing it all off.
Do not wear this dress, unless that is your intention.
-Your shoes will show, so wear some heels or flats that match your jewelry and sequins.
Covered Dress:
- As you can tell with the one shoulder dress, you do not need to wear a necklace. This goes for all, one shoulder dresses. Since the sequins are in the middle of the dress, wear as big of earrings are you choose.
-This dress covers your chest very well, if you do not like your chest or back, or hips it covers them all. It shows off your waist line though. If you wear to cover all of the things I mentioned, pick a dress like this.
-With this dress, the shoes will not show, but as I say, wear shoes that match the sequins and jewelry.
Tight High Low Dress:
-Since there is so much sequins at the top of each dress, you do not need a necklace. Top dress- have earrings and bracelets that match the sequins. Bottom dress- pick a color in the sequins that you really like and wear earrings and bracelets that are that color.
-This dress also shows everything off, except your butt and back of legs. The bottom does hide the top of your thighs. If you want to only cover your butt and back of legs then this is a good choice for you.
- Make sure to wear higher heels with this type of dress since you are wearing it to show off your legs. Also make sure the shoes match the jewelry.
Looser High Low Dress:
-With the sequins at the top no necklace is needed. Make sure the earrings and bracelets match the sequins, they can be as large as you wish.
- This dress covers a lot of your body. The chest, stomach, hips, butt and thighs. The only area it does not cover is the legs.
- For shoes wear high heels since you are showing off your legs, and you want them to look longer. Unlike this picture I would personally wear red heels, or a cool pop of color.
Short, Loose, and Strapped Dress:
- Like this photo you really only need to wear large earrings that match the sequins. The necklace and bracelets are not needed.
- This covers your whole chest, hips, thighs, stomach, and butt. But it does not cover your legs. This dress is better for a shorter girl. If you don't care about showing off your legs, then get a dress like this.
- Wear high heels that match your earrings and sequins on the dress.
Tighter Short Dress:
- Since the sequins are at the top, only earrings are needed. If you want to wear bracelets, you can.
- This covers your hips, thighs, and butt. This dress does not cover your stomach, back, or chest very well.
-Like the picture, wear a pop of color for your shoes. Whatever color high heel you choose is perfectly fine!
