How Do You Buy A Prom Dress That Will Turn Heads?
Your mission: To find a magnificent prom dress that will make you feel like the belle of the ball. It may take some searching, but that perfect prom dress is out there. Step 1 Begin searching fashion magazines and local stores at least four months prior to the prom. Step 2 Try on every dress that you see in stores to determine what is in style this year, and to gauge your size. Step 3 Choose a basic style and color scheme that you like. Step 4 Ask dress boutiques if they carry catalogs for dresses that are not in stock, but that can be ordered direct from the designer. Step 5 Consider hiring a seamstress to create a one-of-a-kind gown for you. Purchase the fabric yourself, then work with the seamstress to develop the perfect design for your body type. Step 6 Look online. A growing number of Web sites feature virtual fitting rooms, and a seemingly endless supply of dresses and gowns, most of which can be shipped straight to your front door.
