With this kind of pressure, who can blame you for feeling that the search for the perfect little prom dress is more than a little overwhelming? Here are a few things to help you keep your head firmly screwed right on your shoulder.
If you are purchasing your prom dress online (which is a very popular practice these days), remember to check if you can return the prom dress if the size is not right.
It's hard to tell whether the dress will go on right just from reading their size chart, so, be DOUBLY sure that you can return it or exchange it for another size, color or design.
Renting might just do your a world of good too if you are not the kind of girl who likes to wear a dress out shopping.
Where else would you wear that expensive dress after prom is over, anyway? This is your night...
it is, perhaps, time to try on something a little different.
Take a plunge away from your conventional style and fashion sense and wear something that no one else (not even your best-friend or mom) will think you'd wear.
Just have fun with some different fashion and make something memorable out of the prom night.
If the decision is still hard to come by, then it is time to rope in some help from your best friend, mom, sister, aunt or even your prom date.
Since you would be going to the prom together, it makes sense (maybe just a little) to shop for your prom dress together too.
However, we don't know many boys who are willing to go shopping for a dress with their prom date either.
Give yourself some time to make that decision - that should ease some of the anxiety.
Take weeks or even MONTHS to decide.
Take a cue from magazines and maybe websites like EOnline to check out what the celebrities are wearing.
Just don't do anything too dramatic.
Different, yes.
Drastic, no.
So, go on ahead and be adventurous with your choices.
Just remember to book your US prom limousine well ahead of time too, you'll be just fine.
