Tips for Finding Your Dream Prom Dress This Month


Start shopping ASAP – The longer you wait, the fewer options you’ll have.
Know your budget – Have a price range in mind before you start browsing.
Try on different styles – You might be surprised by what looks amazing on you.
Shop during the week – Weekends can be busy, so a weekday visit may give you more one-on-one attention.
Plan for alterations – Most dresses need a few adjustments for the perfect fit, so leave enough time for tailoring.
