Prom Dresses From the Waist Up

Choosing the length of a dress is one thing, but now let’s talk about the bust. While there are many different types of dresses that are different because of how they are fashioned from the waist down; what’s happening from the waist up can change the look drastically. Halter, strapless, or single strap. Plunge neck, heart-shaped bust, or high and straight; the combinations are limitless.

This year the halter has been taken to another level. Check out the Jovani 18050200 dress. With its jewel embellished triangular halter and goddess-like drape in the back you can guarantee that no one else will have a dress that even resembles yours this year at prom.

Jovani 18050200 dress and Faviana 5909 dress - Heidi Klum dress show us something else new and hott this season. Take it from Heidi; the single shoulder strap is fierce and sexy.

How low can you go? This low! Look at these gorgeous gowns Jovani Beyond b18086135 and Jovani Beyond b5311195 designed by Jovani that prove that showing more that just a little skin can still be elegant and sophisticated.

Whichever style you choose; don’t forget to accessorize with the appropriate undergarments. If your dress is cut low enough that even a strapless bra will be visible; fabric nipple covers are available at most lingerie stores. If you need a little lift or something to keep the dress in place; double sided fashion tape is also a good thing to buy.

Prom Night Tips

Things NOT to do at prom

1. Don't wait to ask your prom date. No matter if the prom is 1 month away or 3 months away, ask your potential date out as soon as you are sure of it. It's better to have that person accept or deny your invitation so that you are sure of things and can start planning. Ladies, don't feel that you have to wait and be asked out! If you want a particular date, go ahead and ask that special someone.

2. Don't make a bad color choice. We talk a lot about color and how it's a good idea to go bright with your dress. There are, however, limitations. The most important thing is to make sure to pick the right color for you skin. It is by complementing your skin tone that the rest of your hard work and decisions will glow. Your prom pictures will also turn out great!

3. Length matters. Although this season is all about showing some leg, it isn't about having too high of a skirt or ending up with too long of a skirt. Make sure that you are comfortable with the length of your dress and take into consideration the height of your heels. It is better to get a dress that is longer than you like so that you may make alterations if need be.

4. Don't forget to accessorize. Accessories can definitely make your prom look completely stunning! It's your night to shine and here is your chance to do so. Do it with either earrings, a necklace, a bracelet, a hair piece, etc. Remember to not over do it, but have just enough to make yourself feel Hollywood glamorous.

5. Don't fight your locks. You know how it goes. Those who have curly hair want it straight and those that have straight hair want it curly. Not matter if yours is naturally curly or straight, you should style your hair accordingly. Since you can't mess with mother nature, why not enhance it?

6. Don't over style. Whether it be your hair or the choice of your dress and accessories, don't over do it. Too much of a good thing can turn bad. It may be important to you to be trendy and we agree, but having too many trends for one night out can be too much. Rather, pick one or two of your favorite spring trends and from there create a look of your own.

7. Don't forget your manners. Whether you want to believe it or not, manners and etiquette are highly important when it comes to prom and other social events of the such. You don't want to come across as rude or inconsiderate of others feelings. Most manners are common sense and are already instilled in you. If you are known for not being the most polite or orderly date, please review over a list of what to do and what not to do in a social outing.

8. Don't create prom drama. Prom does have its drawbacks and drama is one of its greatest. With prom, drama arises from dress to date choices and everywhere in-between. Don't be the one to stress it! If things really do get bad for you or your feelings get hurt, take a break and literally get some fresh air. Things will work out in the end even if they turn out to be completely different than imagined. You surely don't want to be remembered as the "drama momma" from prom 2007!

9. Don't be late! Prom night is definitely a night that everyone tends to get carried away with. Not that those involved shouldn't be excited, but time is a concern that needs to be number one. All that hard work to get a schedule ready shouldn't go to waste. Get to your location 10-15 minutes ahead of time. You don't want to cause the rest of your prom group to wait on you and you surely don't want to be left behind.

10. Don't do anything last minute. It's easy to become pressured into making ourselves think that if we just added something extra or redid some of our makeup that it will be absolutely perfect. Stop before you start to do this! Most likely you already look in tip-top shape and don't need to fix anything, especially if time is an issue. Since we know our bodies and see ourselves in the mirror everyday, it is common for us to think we don't look our absolute best because we know what that looks like. This doesn't mean that other people don't think that you aren't already gorgeous. By making last minute changes, things tend to go array and disasters are born. This is something you want to avoid.

Body Shapes and Choosing the Right Fit

Every woman has a body shape that is different from the other. In choosing the right style and fit for a dress, recognizing your shape is very important. We base a woman's body with five basic shapes.

First is full-bust. This includes girls that have a large upper body, most strongly in the bust. With this figure, one should opt for v-necks or high-neck tops. Something to stay away from would be rounded and square necklines. It will also help if you wear a shelf bra. Another good tip is to use subtle shades. To deemphasize your top, go for a dress that has a sexy slit that can draw attention to your legs.

http://www.bestpromdresses.com/shop/jovani_10628200.htm

Second is full-bottom. For girls that have a bigger hip measurement and whose shoulders are very narrow. Your goal should be to make your shoulder look wider. This can be accomplished with an A-line gown. Lucky for you, any type of neckline would look great and you can even explore in ruching and many embellishments at the bust.

Third is full-round. If you are short-waisted and your shoulders and hips are about the same width, you might be looking for a way to make your figure appear longer. Go ahead and go with a solid color, but try not to use a different color for the top than the bottom. Wide v-necks, jeweled necklines (very trendy this season!) and open necklines would be great options! Try a strapless!

http://www.bestpromdresses.com/shop/Charlize_dress.htm

Fourth is hour-glass. Lucky for you, nearly anything and everything will work!

Check out the Faviana Heidi Klum dress style 5909

And fifth is slender. For those of you who are long, lean and have a hard time showing your curves. Try not to make the mistake of trying large and colorful prints. Instead, show off your curves with a scoop or rounded v-neck. You might want to invest in a wonder bra as well.

http://www.bestpromdresses.com/shop/jovani_19474200.htm

No matter your body shape, like yourself for who you are and embrace it. Your confidence is what's most important! Choose a prom dress that you really love and go with it!
