Deciding What Prom Dress You Want
Once you have the matter of budgeting for your prom dress settled, then you can move on to other details such as what kind of dress you want to wear and what type of dress will suit your figure best.
There are many styles of prom dresses that you can choose from. What dress style would suit you depends largely on what you want and what your body type is. Here is a rundown of some of the basic styles that you can find on prom dresses and what body type they flatter the most:
1. Bubble dress. The bubble dress has a cinched waist and a curved-in hem. Cute and fun, it is great for girls with skinny figures because it gives them the curves they lack. It is also awesome on girls with full figures because it emphasizes the curves they have.
2. Corset dress. The corset dress sports a tightly laced top that is good for creating a fetching cleavage and the illusion of a small waist, especially when matched with a fluffy skirt. A prom dress of this type is good for the full-figured girl, as it embellishes her lovely curves.
