How to Choose the Right Attire for a Class Dance
Attending a class dance is a major event in many teenagers' lives. Deciding what to wear is a very important decision. Depending on the dress code of the dance as well as the personal taste of the person looking for the right clothing, getting a dress for a class dance can be stressful. To lessen the stress involved in this task and make shopping fun, use the following guidelines.
If you have an upcoming prom, you will probably be looking at formal dresses. This requires time, patience, and planning. It's a good idea to start planning about two months in advance. Ensure that you write down ideas as you think about what you want to wear. Avoid getting a dress on impulse or one that you can't afford. You will likely only wear this dress to the prom. Decide what your budget is. If you don't have much money to spend, consider getting a part-time job months in advance so you will have the money ready to get the dress you want. If you wait until the last month, you may end up getting a dress you don't really want, can't afford, and does not flatter your figure.
A few months before the prom, take a good look at your figure. Be honest with yourself. Your body type is what will ultimately decide the type of dress that will look most favorable on you. If you get one that is too big or too small simply to look like someone else, you will end up unhappy with your choice of a dress. There are many body types including busty, apple, slender, hourglass, pear, and petite. Study your body type and research the dresses that would look the best on you. Decide the length you want our dress to be. You can get a dress that is long, short, knee-length, or high-low.
When you start checking out dresses for your prom, you should know your body type and which dresses flatter your body type. By doing this, you can save time and get a dress that enhances your figure. Since you will probably be taking pictures at your prom, having the right dress on will also enable you to have memories that will last a lifetime.
