There’s no doubt that prom night is one of the most special nights in your life, and one that you’ll remember for years to come. Arguably, prom night is even bigger than homecoming or your quinceanera. Here are some tips that will ensure your prom night is memorable – for all the right reasons!

Preparation is Key

There are so many elements to prom night that it’s easy to forget something important. It’s best to start with a list that has everything you need to do, and thing check items off as you go along.

Shopping for Prom Dresses

It’s crucial to start shopping for prom dresses early. Remember that your formal eveningwear can take up to eight weeks to arrive, so start looking for prom fashion well before then. When considering your choices, find a style that fits your body type, is well made, and that has a fabrication and color that flatters your figure and your complexion.

When it comes to prom dresses – or other formal clothing – the fit is rarely perfect. Don’t fret if you have to have your dress altered, but do make sure that you have enough time to do so.

Prom night is almost here. You’ve put on just a few extra pounds and now your tummy is starting to show just a little. And unfortunately, most prom dresses don’t leave any room to grow. But don’t worry. If you still have a few weeks left until prom night, you can take these simple steps to get those extra pounds off. You’ll feel light on your feet and glow with fashion and pride on that special evening.

Foods to Avoid until the Prom

Over the next few weeks, try to avoid foods high in carbohydrates such as pasta and bread. Check labels for substitute items or for items with fewer carbohydrates. Avoid regular soft drinks as well and replace these with diet soft drinks, Gatorade, or flavored water. Carbohydrate-rich foods as well as soft drinks tend to cause bloating in many people. Even the slightest bloating that normally wouldn’t affect the fit of your regular clothing could make your prom dress too snug. Remember, you’re going to be dancing and moving about so you’ll need some breathing room in your formal eveningwear.

Try to avoid junk foods such as snack cakes, candy bars, and potato chips. Choose healthier snacks such as baked chips, nuts and cashews, raisins, low-fat ice cream or yogurt. These can be eaten in moderation without worry of putting on more pounds.

Those of us who grew up as plus-size girls may have less than fond memories of proms, homecoming dances, or even our quinceanera. Back in our day, self-esteem and body image issues were compounded by the sheer lack of plus-size prom dresses and formal eveningwear. Plus-size fashion was an oxymoron, and most of the clothing that was available simply wasn’t appropriate for formal occasions.

Thankfully, times have changed. Not only are curvy girls staking their rightful claims on the prom and homecoming scenes, but wonderfully fashionable prom dresses are available in all sizes. If you’re a plus-size girl, there’s no need to be a wallflower. You can dazzle and shine at your special event alongside your friends.

Choosing Plus-Size Prom Dresses

It’s never too soon to start shopping for prom dresses. When you do, be sure to check out two of the best plus-size lines: Calito and Igigi. If you’re looking for a long formal, first think about the bodice. Do you want wide straps, spaghetti straps, or a strapless formal? Would you prefer that the bodice be fitted or more flowing? (Remember, don’t be afraid to show your curves!)

Next, think about the skirt. Do you want a long formal where the hem reaches almost to the floor, or do you want something more playful, like a handkerchief hem or an asymmetrical hem? Then, consider your fabrication options. A satin crepe will hug your body and show your curves to their best advantage, an organdy will make you feel ultra-feminine, and a shimmer fabric will have you sparkling inside and out.

Prom dresses are gorgeous and glamorous, but they can also be very uncomfortable. An uncomfortable prom dress can ruin your formal evening. That’s why you should consider not only the style and beauty of your eveningwear, but also the comfort level. Beauty doesn’t have to be painful. Fashion doesn’t have to ruin the most magical night of your high school life. Use the guide below to look elegant and feel great on your prom night.

Prom Dresses for Comfort

When comparing prom dresses either online or at a formal eveningwear shop, consider the material of the dress, especially for the areas of your body where it needs to give a little. Prom dresses made of stretchy material in certain areas allow you to be comfortable and flexible while still keeping in fashion.

Ask these Questions about any Prom Dress You’re Considering:

*When you bend over to pick something up, sit or twist and turn while dancing, does the dress give in areas where needed?

*When you sit to dine and need to move your arms freely, will the prom dress be comfortable?

*Does the material breathe so you won’t get too hot during the prom or dinner?

If shopping for your prom clothing online, ask questions about the material and if it gives and breathes for ultimate comfort. Order your prom dress far enough in advance so you’ll have time to try it on and return it if you absolutely don’t like it.
