Black is a beauty basic and we offer you some basic tips on buying black prom dresses.
• Black prom dresses are a great choice for slimming and hiding any little physical traits you don't want to emphasize.
• If you go with a sleeveless or spaghetti strap black prom dress be sure to use a spray or roll on deodorant that doesn't leave behind a white residue. It will ruin your dress and embarrass you too!
• With black dresses you can jazz up your look with coordinating wraps and shoes and bag. The best part about black prom dresses is that you can have a different dress over and over with just the change of jewelry and accessories.
• If your legs will be showing choose your hosiery with care. Don't assume that any black hose will do. If it is a different shade of black or matte or shiny and it clashes with your black dress it will not look sharp.
• Have fun with your hosiery. Fishnet or crystal studded hose can be extremely elegant or fun and funky.
• Make sure your date's tux or suit doesn't clash with your black prom dress.
