Just Remember 2 Things before You Buy Prom Dresses

Prom night is one of the nights most teenagers dream of going to. This gives them an opportunity to dress up and have fun with their dates. Prom dresses can either put a teenage girl on the spotlight or put her into the dark background.

A girl may spend hours and hours jumping from one boutique to another, slipping on one dress to the next and still go home empty handed. Finding the right dress for prom is like soul searching for some girls. Finding prom dresses in the mall, or even better on the internet, is easier and more convenient. If you are looking for a prom dress to wear on your special night, then read on these few tips on how you can rock the prom night.

According to your body shape or type

The first tip may be the most difficult to follow. There are thousands of dresses on the internet so how can you find one easily? To find a perfect dress, you need to consider a few things first. You can find cocktail dresses that will suit you depending on your body shape and skin color. It sounds a little complicated but finding a dress according to these two factors will make the dress suit you naturally.


Your body shape will help you find the style of the dress. Girls who are petite will find short cocktail dresses with lengths above the knee flattering. The short length of their dress will make them look taller with longer legs. Girls who have a pear body shape should look for dresses that will take the eyes away from the hips. Try to look for dresses with an empire cut and flowing bottom. Ladies with the inverted triangle body shape can look for a dress with a puff bottom, which helps create an hourglass shape. Lastly, girls blessed with an hourglass figure can use any dress they like. Try a dress that will enhance your small waist. These types of dresses will enhance your assets instead of the body parts you want to hide.

According to your skin color



A dress may come in many different colors. To avoid looking too pale or too dark in your dress, pick a dress that will flatter your natural skin color. Let us categorize the skin tone into three: blue or pink undertones, golden undertones, and golden with peach undertones. People under the blue or pink undertone may have skin that is pale white, yellowish-olive, or dark. African Americans and many Asians are in this category. People with golden undertone may have pale or pink skin and have brown or pale colored eyes. Lastly, people with generally strawberry red hair, as well as blue or green eyes have golden undertones with a hint of peach.



If you are under the first category, blue or pink undertone, then you should wear a dress with a sharp or clear color. Try a dress with color black, navy blue, white, shocking pink, and red. You may also try icy colors rather than the pastel colors. Stay clear from colors such as gold, orange, and yellow.

For the second group of skin tone, go for pastel and soft neutral colors. Golden undertones are also suitable for your skin tone. Cocktail dresses for people under this category should not try blue tones and black.










Girls in this group, golden undertone with slight of peach, should go for dresses with warm colors. These colors include peach, golden brown, golden yellow, and camel. The colors to avoid are dull or dark colors.

Complementing your natural beauty means enhancing them. Your body has special assets you should flaunt while your skin color will glow even more, thanks to the dress you are wearing. Rock your prom night by looking for prom dresses on the internet. These tips will certainly make your shopping experience faster and easier.
