Pick a prom dress that will accentuate your curves

Your dreamy night is here. Prom nights are the most awaited by every girl. And every girl saves a lot of money to pick the perfect Prom Dresses.  You want to stand out, look fabulous, be your date’s darling, but you are confused. Don’t be. One of the most important things is to pick a dress that will fit you perfectly and a dress that would enhance your curves and hide your flaws. So look out for dresses that are body flattering. Here are a few suggestions that might help you.
•    If you are a lady with a broad back, then go for dresses that will flatten your broad backside. Do no wear anything that is clingy or too tight. Sheath dresses cling to the body so avoid them. You can wear something that will draw attention to your best parts like a god waist or cleavage.
•    If you have a pear shaped body it might be a little difficult to look for dresses that will flatten you big hips. But it will be simpler if you follow a simple rule and that it no skin-tight dresses or gowns please. Satin will cling to your body so avoid them.  You can in fact wear a dress that has a corset inspired bodice that is figure hugging. So that will divert all the attention from your hips to your bodice. You can also off-shoulders or tube-dresses so that you can also flaunt your shoulder or hands.
•    If you have just one problem and that is a heavy arm that looks more like a flab, then you can always wear sleeved dresses. They can be net sleeves or embroidered sleeves. Avoid spaghetti, strapless and such shoulder open dresses since they will focus all the attention on the upper body. Also keep the length of the dress short so that your legs can be shown off.
•    If you have heavy busts try to grab maximum attention to your lower body. Deep plunging necklines are big no-no.  However if you wear a sweetheart neckline, your shoulder will be accentuated and the bust are will be flattened a bit.

 Prom nights are the nights where a girl can either look like a princes or look like a total drab. It’s your choice. So pick the right prom dress and have a nice time with your date dancing away and who knows you might also be the prom queen.
