Women deserve stunning look for special occasions. A gorgeous occasion gown is a great way to exude elegance and glamour. There are a million of dresses online, where stunning dresses are available in various styles and designs.

The dress we see and love is always the one that looks like crap once putting it on, and the one that looks “meh” on the hanger fits so well, is so right for my body, a movie star walking down the red carpet couldn't compare. If you’re short, wear a long dress. If you’re tall, wear a shorter dress. If you have loose skin on your arms, choose a dress with an asymmetrical neckline or one with a strap going over only one shoulder, or sleeves. A-line dresses disguise big hips and butts. Empire waists hide thick waists and big bellies, and make small breasts seem bigger. Mermaid cuts minimize hips and tummies and shows off your breasts, no matter the size. And if your shoulders are wider than your hips, a classic princess cut dress will draw attention away from shoulders and make your hips look larger.

Remember, no matter what the experts have labeled as “in” or “out”, the most important thing is to pick a dress that is you, the one you like the best, regardless if it breaks any fashion rules. Nothing else is more important than that. And remember, if there’s a will, you can find a way. For instance, if you want a metallic dress, but have pale skin, go get a spray tan a couple of days before prom.

Finally, keep your make-up subtle. Don’t even think about matching your eye shadow to the color of your gown Keep your shadow and lipstick colors neutral and understated. Don’t draw attention away from that perfect dress!  

 

Prom preparation involves your time, efforts and the most important, lots of money. The average prom cost is said to be $500. Some parents are happy to splash out, while others can’t afford to do so. If you have tight budget on prom, following tips may help you reduce the prom costs.

1. SET A BUDGET

The best way to cut down on prom costs is to set a budget. This means that spending won't get out of hand, whereas if you pay for everything, you could find yourself spending a fortune. Dress, hair, makeup, transport etc. soon add up. Setting a budget is also a good way for your teen to learn to prioritize spending. For example, if they want a limo, then they'll have to economize on the dress.

2. BUY ONLINE PROM DRESSES

Shop around online and you can find some gorgeous dresses at very low prices. Many parents order from China, although you'll need to order well in advance to allow for slow delivery times. Or if you are good at sewing, you could make the dress yourself.

3. SHARE TRANSPORT

Get together with other parents and organize transport. Even a limo can work out reasonably priced if shared between a group. Other alternatives are to borrow a car if you know someone with a luxury or vintage vehicle, or to simply call a cab. You can even drive your daughter to the prom yourself - a limo really isn't a necessity.

4. USE ACCESSORIES YOU ALREADY HAVE

The dress is going to be the most important item in the outfit - it's the piece that everyone will notice. So if you're going to splash out on anything, the dress is probably the best choice. Look in your closet to see if you already have shoes and jewelry that will go with the prom dress.

5. DO HAIR & MAKEUP YOURSELF

Some parents are hiring makeup artists and hairdressers to get their daughters ready for her prom. But you will save a lot of money by helping your daughter to do her own hair and makeup, or getting her friends to do it. There are plenty of tutorials that will show you how to style hair for a special occasion - just be sure to practice the style in advance.

6. DON'T BUY PORTRAITS

It may be tempting to pay for a formal portrait of your daughter to remember her prom by, but it's really not necessary. Digital cameras are now so good that anyone can take perfectly adequate photos. You can probably find a much nicer location than a studio to take photos, such as your own garden or a public park.

 

Prom is the greatest event of teen’s life and mark the end of school. Being economic does not mean that you have to sacrifice style. Try shopping for affordable prom dresses online, which would help save a lot of budget. Keep these tips on mind when you are busy preparing the coming up occasion and avoid spending far too much.
