Prom night is just around the corner. You want to look
your best and amaze your date and friends with a stunning prom dress. You've
made the appointment with the hair stylist and make-up artist. You've
planned every aspect of your special night. But wait! Don't forget one of
the most important things - accessorize your prom dress to make it dazzle!
Prom dresses can look plain without at least a few accessories. Even a
gorgeous, long prom dress by Jovani can be spruced up with a sparkling
necklace and matching earrings. Stunning evening wear by Niteline wouldn't
be complete without a few accents. No matter what style prom dress you
choose, accessories will make it dazzle even more! Here are some great prom
tips to get your wheels turning. Prom Dresses with No Straps or Spaghetti
Straps The neckline can look bare when wearing a prom dress that has no
straps or spaghetti straps. A plain neckline can easily be brightened with a
beautiful, sparkly necklace and matching earrings. The type of necklace you
choose should blend well with your dress colors and fabric. With a prom
dress that has lots of lace or sequence, a plain gold or silver necklace
will do. Or, maybe even a simple strand of pearls. With a simple satin
dress, wear a necklace that sparkles with unique design. Add a charming
slide as a bonus. Gloves and Shawls Strapless prom dresses also look great
with satin or lace gloves a shawl. The gloves and shawl should match the
color(s) of your prom dress for a simple, but elegant look! Shawls can be
worn around the neck or loosely held around the upper arms. Half-Jackets If
shawls aren't your style, try a half-jacket instead. These typically come in
satin finish to match the color of your prom dress, or in a lacy see-through
style. There are even jackets that tie in the front mid-section to cover the
tummy! Pick the jacket that looks best with your body type. Try one on with
your prom dress to be sure it offers the look you want. Prom Dress Length
and Prom Shoes Choose your hosiery and prom shoes according to the prom
dress length. With long prom dresses, you might choose hose for comfort, not
style, since no one will see them anyway. For high-and-low prom dresses or
short prom dresses, choose prom shoes and hose that will complement your
legs and feet. Open-toe prom shoes with nude or light-colored hose will look
great with slender legs. If your legs are muscular or large in the calves,
and you want to de-emphasize the bottom part of your legs, choose closed-toe
prom shoes with dark- colored hose if possible. Or, a longer prom dress will
do the trick. Handbags Carrying a handbag to the prom? Choose one that
matches your prom dress. There are handbags of all colors and styles that
are designed specifically for prom night. You can find handbags of satin,
beads or lace to complement your prom dress. With a prom handbag, you can
carry your personal belongings and still be in style! Other prom dress
accessories include hairpieces, anklets, bracelets, rings, belt bags, hats,
clutches, pendants, and broaches. When shopping online, you can find
thousands of unique accessories as well as many styles of prom dresses such
as cocktail style, high-and-low, evening wear, pageant dresses, sheath
style, and many others. Remember - dress for fun! You only get one chance to
make this year's prom dress shine!
