Prom is a special time in your life. Not everyone looks forward to prom, though. Does this mean that you are weird or that you are going to regret not going? Unfortunately, this is a decision that many girls (and guys) have to make on their own. No one can tell you that you do have to go to prom. At the same time, you do not want to make a decision that you will regret the rest of your life. Before you make this decision, keep a few important things in mind.
What does prom mean to you? This is the first question you have to ask yourself. Prom means something different to each person. Do you see prom as a unique moment in time? Or, do you see prom as just another dance? For many girls, prom has special meaning. It is a time of moving from being a girl to being a woman. For others, though, it just means spending a lot of money and time looking good. Explore what prom means to you before you make this decision. Then, after giving it some thought, look at it from the other direction. Does it appeal to you on any level?
The next step in making this decision is all about talking to others. Find a few people that you are close enough to and talk to them about prom. Start with your parents and find out if they went and if they regret their decision. Find out from aunts, even 20 year old family members. You won't know what you will feel about not going to prom, but getting a perspective from those who may not have (and even those who did go) can help you to realize what you may feel later.

Make Sure You Get A Prom Dress That You Love
Do not settle for just any prom dress. Many people make this mistake. They believe that they can just settle for a dress that looks good. However, prom is an incredibly important day and for that reason, you should invest in a prom dress that makes you feel next to amazing. Keep in mind that the best dresses for your body often do look great too. As you consider the prom dress options you have, there are several things to keep in mind.
Try on the dress. One mistake you may make is not trying on the dress prior to purchasing it. If you purchase your prom dress online, try it on as soon as you can and ensure it fits you just the way you want it to. When you try on the dress, you will want to move around. How does it feel on you? Are you comfortable? Can you dance in it? These are all questions you should be asking to ensure that the prom dress is going to look great and feel great on your prom day. Get that dress on, feel, and see how it looks on your body.
Do not limit yourself to just what you find on the shelves at the mall. Rather than believing these are the only prom dresses available to you, head to the web and take some time to look at all of your options. It only takes a few days to have a dress delivered to you, although you should purchase it as early as you can do so. Do not limit yourself by what you find locally but instead give yourself as many options as you can. Ultimately, that one perfect dress is going to be out there.
Remember that your dress is your dress. This is not your mother's dress nor is it your friend's dress. You may want their reassurance that the dress fits you well and looks fabulous, but do not settle there. Rather, look in the mirror. Your opinion is the only opinion that really matters at the end of the day. Be sure that you love your dress more than anyone else does. After all, it is a direct reflection of your tastes and style.
When you do these things, you will find a prom dress that you absolutely love. Not only will you love it today when you try it on, but also on your prom day. When you pay attention to the style and cut of your prom dress, it will pay off. More so, on your prom day, you will be impressed with just how great you look. Take your time. Choose a prom dress that really speaks to you. Choose a prom dress that you love.

On The Plus Size - Learn How To Show Off Your Curves
It does not matter what size you are, so long as you look amazing on your prom day. The good news is that there are far more options for those who may weigh a bit more or have a uniquely shaped body than there every have been. To look great on prom, take some time to choose the right dress. Ultimately, you want to show off the right curves and down play any area that is not your best. Still, a plus sized individual can still look and feel great on their prom day.
One of the first considerations for those who are plus sized is the dress. The dress has to look great. TO choose a dress that is right for a plus sized individual for prom, you need to start in the fitting room. Many of the top designers are now offering larger sizes in their clothing. There are full line, designer brands today designed just for the over sized young lady. You still get the trendy styles and the right colors for the season; you just get a dress that is more matched to the larger woman's body. Look for these dresses first.
Do not make the mistake that so many others make: buying too big. If you buy a dress that is super loose on you, it will hang in the wrong places making you look larger than you are. Rather, select a dress that fits your body the way the dress is supposed to. Each cut of dress is different, so it can take some trying on to find the one that works for you. Nevertheless, do invest in the right size. Keep in mind that dresses often run smaller than most clothing items do.
When it comes to which dresses will look best, this is all based on the curves of your body. For many of those with larger thighs, a larger tummy or buttocks, the best bet may be an empire waist, which gives you a line right under your bust. Determine where your best features are and be sure that the dress you select plays to that area to draw the eye to it instead of to other areas. For example, if your bust is your best feature, select a deeper V shape. This will draw attention away from other areas you do not want to be accentuated.
Plus sized girls can still look amazing on their prom day. All you have to do is to invest a little extra time shopping for the right dress. Try them on. Have fun with it. You can often find a large assortment of plus sized dresses online to choose from too. Do not feel like you can't look great at prom because of your size!
