Finding the Perfect Prom Dress for You // 27DRESS

4/06/2019

Spoiler alert: there is no such thing as a “perfect” prom dress. There is only the perfect prom dress for you! This looks different for everyone, which is why finding a prom dress can be so challenging. You might feel like you have to stay “in style” or “trendy” when choosing your dress, but at the end of the day, it is about finding the dress that makes you excited and comfortable! Finding the right dress for you is also difficult because of the infinite range of options. You’ll have so many styles, silhouettes, and colors to choose from and just one night to wear it! On top of the dress itself, there is also you to consider! The perfect dress for you will need to take into account your body type and skin tone. You’ll want to match hair and makeup to further complement the gown for a flawless look.

Oftentimes it might feel like the fashion industry isn’t creating a gown for your body type. It is perfectly okay that not every dress silhouette looks great on every body shape. This is why having options is so important. If you aren’t sure what works for your body type, try on multiple silhouettes! Show off what you love about your body, whether it is your legs or curves or something else! 27 prom dresses experts have created a wide array of options to match any figure with dresses that are flattering to your body and still match your personality. You want to look and feel your best on prom night – and that starts with the dress! To help you get started, here are some recommendations on the best style for different body types.

Slender & Petite

If you are short in stature but big in personality, go for long gowns that make you look (and feel) taller. Shimmery colors like gold and silver will draw the eye in while also adding height. Bold patterns also work here as well as short cocktail dresses paired with heels. One of our favorite looks is a mermaid gown. It’s designed to highlight your curves and create a longer torso look.

Cute and Curvy

Prom night is no time to hide – and that goes for your curves! For curvy girls, we recommend solid color form-fitting gowns. For some sparkle, look for dresses with jeweled embellishments. Be careful about where those embellishments are located to make sure they are flattering while also giving off a classic Hollywood vibe. Check out plus size prom dresses on 27dress.

Athletic and Boyish

Maybe dresses aren’t your favorite thing and you typically rock a more boyish figure and personality. That is totally fine, and we are excited you want to get dressed up for prom! I suggest shimmery metallic gowns that are form fitting. You can show off and make a statement with these bold but understated metallic looks.

Full Figured

If you have a full bust, go for a plunging V-neck or sweetheart neckline to really show it off. Off-the-shoulder looks are also great. If you want to go for a more princess look without showing off the bust, a ball gown with a full skirt in a solid color is wonderful. Don’t feel like you have to draw the eye to your bust just because it is there – remember it is all about what makes you comfortable!
