The time for choosing what to wear to prom has finally come! But, how to start? You’re in a great place! Before you go looking, check the PVHS Prom Instagram page so you don’t end up getting the same dress as someone else! @pvhspromdresses2k19

Checked the page? Great, now it’s time to start looking!  Below are some tips, ideas, and ways to find your perfect dress.

Choosing a color :

The color and style of your prom dress might depend upon a theme, which is Enchanted Ball, or you could go with a color that you love.  Remember to choose a dress in a color that compliments you and that you feel comfortable in. According to PromGirl.com, if you’re a redhead, you might select a prom dress in shades of green, blue, and purple, while blonds look great in reds, blues, pastels, and bold colors. Girls with dark hair can usually wear almost any color. Depending upon your skin tone, some pastels, brights, or jewel tones might complement your coloring better than others. Some people’s skin tone might get washed out by a vibrant color such as orange, while someone else’s skin tone might glow.

Choosing a style :

When choosing your prom dress style, think about how you want your dress to fit. If you like to dance a lot, you might want to choose an a-line prom dress that gives your legs plenty of room for movement and is styled with straps for support. If you’re not much of a dancer, try a mermaid dress or a long tight dress that fits the form from neckline to hem. If a little more support is on your must-have list, try a short halter prom dress or a long prom dress with adjustable straps. Wear a style that makes you feel comfortable and confident.
