Your mom has always been there for you through thick and thin. She’s fixed countless scrapes and bruises with Band-Aids and kisses and has wiped your tears when your heart is broken. Now that it’s time for you to begin your life away from your mom, there is no better gift that you can give her this Mother’s Day than to spend the day with her selecting the dress that she will wear to your special day.
Your mom feels the same nervous excitement about your big day that you do and is probably pretty anxious about the dress that she will be wearing. Below are some ways that you can help ease this nervous tension and help her to enjoy the process better.
People dress up differently every morning, but there are those days when the mode of dressing should be a bit peculiar. In other words, sometimes you will be expected to dress up in fancy and stylish clothing. If you are a high school girl, you will be expected to attend some dancing classes, and it is on such days you must choose your type of prom dress carefully. Selecting the most appealing and affordable prom dresses can be pretty tricky. However, the following tips, with examples of some incredible prom dresses, will simplify the process, and they will guide you whenever you have that special occasion.
Know Yourself
Are you tall, slender, curvy or pear-shaped? When it comes to dressing, scores of students wear clothes dictated by their peers. Even though that dazzling prom dress worn by your colleague or that magazine-cover model is appealing, it may not fit your body shape. Yes, the size might fit precisely, but you must consider whether the same dress makes you look balanced. Before you shop for that ideal prom dress, be adequately informed about your shape, colour and body style. Remember, that dress must appear official irrespective of who is wearing it.
How Long Should the Hem Be?
This will help you decide whether to wear a mini-dress or a below-the-knees prom dress. Inquire carefully from dress experts on this, and don’t forget to try prom dresses with tiny hems and those with extended ones. Remember, the type of dress, body size, and hem length should help display features like legs in the most charming way.
Your Bust
Some girls have big, rounded busts, and they should prioritize prom dresses that somehow lessen the appearance of their bottoms. For instance, they can wear a costume with a sharp waistline and avoid those that drop straight over your figure. By doing so, they can comfortably wear the bras of their choice and those fancy strapless dresses. The rule for the small bust type is to wear dresses that enhance your bust line. A good way is to go for dresses with low V-shaped necklines and accompany this with the right bra size.
Your Budget
Almost every store specializing in prom dresses discourages the return of any purchased attire. Some even put it in writing, and you should always consider buying a prom gown that suits the occasion and can be worn for a more extended period. It would be illogical to pay hundreds of dollars and never enjoy a prom outfit because you missed your size slightly.
Where to Buy
Online sources are the best because they have all the necessary information in an easy-to-navigate web page. Notwithstanding, you should ensure the online store has various prom dresses, including specific accessories, and they are good at keeping their promises. To some extent, a few online stores have been known to delay delivery of purchased items while others illegally change some specifications for your order.

Here are some wonderful choices that will ensure a joyous New Year’s Eve…
Purple Haze…
Simple and luxurious, the flattering lines of the plum-colored gown featured above will make the most of your curves on New Year’s Eve. This knee-length cocktail gown is the perfect backdrop for glittering necklaces, dramatic drop earrings, and chic high heels…so be sure to have fun with it – accessorize to the hilt and make a grand entrance on the night of December 31st!
Lady in Red…
Channel your inner goddess with this luscious, flowing scarlet number. A gorgeous halter neckline shows off your arms and throat, while a nipped-in waistline gives you the perfect hourglass silhouette. Striking and very grown-up, this dramatic red evening dress will make you feel like a queen on New Year’s Eve. This sort of dress doesn’t require a lot of accessories – however, it does require sophisticated makeup (neutral tones always look elegant with a red gown) and the perfect holiday hairstyle. Metallic high heels in a strappy sandal style will add a touch of bold style to your ensemble!
Golden Girl…
New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to get a little more flamboyant with your personal style. After all, women naturally gravitate towards metallic and sparkly evening dresses during the holidays. If you’re feeling daring, show off your glowing skin with a golden evening dress that really stands out. This gown is strapless, sexy, and sure to stop traffic. Accessorize with nude platform heels that make your legs look endless, and top off your New Year’s party outfit with a choker necklace that calls attention to this sizzling dress’ plunging neckline.
Not for the faint of heart, this beautiful design will add warmth to the skin – to get the perfect hair and makeup look, go for burnished bronze eye shadows, a touch of light bronzer on the forehead, cheekbones, and bridge of the nose – then, add a neutral lip color topped with a dollop of glistening golden lip gloss. Your hair should be soft, silky, and volumized…
Runway Ready…
Black and white is pure chic on New Year’s! If you’re into Paris runway style that echoes the look of Chanel or Yves Saint Laurent, you’ll love this whimsical style. A pretty strapless bodice features delicate pin-tucks and an elegant bow. Designed to highlight your decolletage, this clever evening gown comes complete with a high-waisted black skirt that is so slimming. Accesorize with a tousled up-do and scarlet lips to keep the whole look stylized and graphical. Nude heels will work – so will basic black, or any subtle, antique metallic. Jewelry is really optional, but drop earrings will look fabulous, as long as they are sleek and sophisticated.
