Fashion: The Perfect Prom Guide

Society | April 30, 2004, Friday // 00:00

Don't stress over finding the perfect look for prom. Just remember to start early, make a plan and follow these simple tips for looking your best on prom night.

Know the favourite parts of your body while looking for a dress and find styles that flaunt your looks. Some ideas:

1. Cocktail-length (around knee length) dresses show off legs.
2. A fitted column dress will feature an hourglass shape.
3. A large ball gown skirt will camouflage a derriиre (large or small).
4. Keep colour in mind. Some colours, like black, work for all skin tones, but if you're going for colour, make sure you choose the right shade.

When buying a dress, make sure you pay a lot of attention to the shades of your dress: pale pinks and peaches may wash out ivory skin, but deeper pinks or apricot can be the perfect hue for light complexions.

Sequins and embroidery are great on dresses, but only to a certain degree. If you're loving an adorned dress, a simple clutch and heels is the way to go.

Stay away from a cleavage-plus-slit ensemble: the prom is held at school!

If you go for a two-piece midriff-baring look, make sure the skirt is on the conservative side. If you wearing a high-slit skirt, think modest top.

A very intricate dress calls for sheer makeup and minimal accessories to avoid a too-busy look. A simple ensemble requires a bold makeup statement - either dramatic eyes or show-stopping lips.
