How To Pick The Perfect Short Prom Dress For You

The way you pick out the perfect prom dress takes a few details into consideration. When choosing a short prom dress to wear to prom, consider the fit, color, accents, and dress code set by your school and the venue. When browsing different fit styles, think about how the dress will fit at your bust and how it will rest at the hem. Necklines like plunging V-necklines, sweetheart, and scoop necklines will provide a more relaxed fit at the bust and better accessorize with lariat necklines that cascade downward. On the other hand, necklines like square, mock, and high round necklines will provide a more fitted feel at the bust and may not allow additional room for a traditional bra. Flared silhouettes like skater and mermaid are more dramatic and accentuate hourglass body types; whereas sheath does not provide additional volume at the hem.

For the color, choosing a color that complements your undertones will be naturally flattering. Also, choose a color that complements your accessories. Warm-toned short prom dresses will pair better with gold jewelry whereas cool-toned prom dresses match better with silver jewelry. It’s all in the details, if your style is bold, choose dramatic details like open backs, cutouts, and sheer mesh panels. If your style is sweet, choose details like ruffles and tulle. If your style is elegant, choose details like rhinestones, gemstones, and sequins. Lastly, consider the dress code for the event set by your school and for your venue, these details can be confirmed with your school or on the invitation itself. When you consider all these details, choosing the perfect short prom dress is a fab experience with Windsor.
