So you’re curious—what type of dress is best for you? How do you know what prom dresses you will like? Well, the answer is that you won’t know until you try. However, you can take the time to examine yourself and help to mentally figure out what type of prom dress would best suit you.
First of all, look at what you normally wear. It will help you to decide what prom dresses that you should look into. Remember that formal dresses are dressier—but you do have the opportunity to make it your own and make it so that you can wear the dress comfortably if you so choose.
For example, if you prefer tank tops, then it probably wouldn’t suit you to choose cocktail dresses with sleeves. It’s fairly safe to assume this wouldn’t be comfortable for you and that you would probably feel awkward in it. The same goes if you prefer long sleeves as opposed to short. Don’t pick what is fashionable over what feels most comfortable to you. Try to pick a skirt that you feel comfy in too. If you don’t like showing your legs or if you don’t like skirts then you should avoid short dresses; you could also wear a pair of thick tights under your skirt to make it feel more like a pair of pants and thereby be more comfortable for you.
