How to find the right prom dress for yourself

Badiani New York

Prom, this single term brings out the picture of girls and boys dancing together and looking at their best. Where we always imagine ourselves standing-out from the rest! Looking unique at the prom is really difficult when the entire high school is doing shopping from the same stores in the malls. But if you widen your perspective and explore designer online stores, you might stumble upon one-of-the-kind gown! Here are some points you should keep in mind while looking for your dream outfit.
 

Know your personal style
There is always a trend going around, which restricts us from bringing our preferences in light and finding an outfit that we actually like. One rule to look at your best is to understand your style. Sometimes not looking at what's trending and trying something new works the best. If you are going to find a unique prom dress, the first thing to do is understand your personality and about what makes you special, fashion-wise. Are you always the first on your block to incorporate a new fashion trend into your wardrobe? These questions will serve as a good jumping-off point and will get you thinking about what fashion direction you'd like to go in.

Know your body type
If you have a slim body type, you will look best in a sheath-style dress that shows off your silhouette. If you are curvy, you may want to consider an A-line dress that will highlight your waist and minimize your hips and thighs.
 

If you're short and petite, dress shopping may be a little challenging; cocktail dresses become full gowns and party dresses become cocktail dresses. However, with plenty of time ahead, you can get these tailored to your size. If you're looking for a long dress, look for a short dress that is long on you. It will fit better and will fit you everywhere else without being too long. We will also suggest going for a customized dress. For example at Badiani New York, you can hare your design ideas and they customize it for you.

Decide on the color
While picking a color, you might want to choose according to your skin tone, hair and eyes color. Wearing colors that complement your features will accentuate your personality. On tip; to know whether you are a warm-toned or cool-toned, take a look at the vein on your wrist. If the veins look blue/purple, you have a cool undertone, if it looks olive/ green, you have a warm undertone and if they look blueish green, then you have a neutral undertone.
 

Add ons
Add embellishments to your dress. A row of sequins or jewels along the neckline, bottom of the skirt or waist can dramatically alter the appearance of your outfit.
