GENERAL PROM  SHOPPING TIPS

Here are 4 key things to consider when shopping for a prom dress:

Material: Opt for formal fabrics like satin and sequins that match the elegance of the event

Length: Maxi dresses exude elegance, so we 100% recommend them. It wouldn’t be a prom dress if it ain’t sweeping the floor.

Fit/Shape/Silhouette: Whether it's a mermaid, A-line, or trumpet, select a shape that complements your body and reflects your style.

Colour: Ah the question we all dread...what colour dress are you getting? To put it simply perhaps choose a colour that suits your skin tone, emphasizing warm or cool undertones. Classic options like black or white are always chic, while navy, royal colours, blues, purples, pinks, silver, and champagne are popular choices. Ultimately, go for a colour that you love and harmonizes with your complexion.
