There is one day to mark on the calendar of every teenage girl’s life and that is prom night. The event has to be planned months in advance as arrangements go into place to find the perfect dress. The race is on to find an outfit that is original so you don’t end up dressed the same as your archenemy and something that really makes you stand out.

So what suits you? First you should think of the kind of body shape you have and what sort of things suits it.

A petite lady often has to find items that won’t swamp her small frame. Think of classic tailored dresses that are pretty but not over the top; too many ruffles or floral patterns would overwhelm you. The most ideal dress for a petite girl is a cocktail dress that is above the knee and designed to make a petite girl look taller. For a starting point trying looking for Empire Line or Sheath dresses that are specifically designed for small frames. You could also try a sweetheart or halter neckline to elongate your body and enhance your chest. For petite girls with a small chest a small amount of ruffles or detail will enhance what you have available.

Tall girls often have the best option when it comes to fashion with the majority of items tailored to suit them. Styles such as a line dresses are designed so that they fit closely to your torso then flow out into a full skirt. Dresses with ruffles and patterns on will give your bodies shape and definition as a lot of tall girls find they lack any womanly curves. Alternatively fit a belt to a dress to pull in the middle and show off your curves. Other styles to suit are ball gowns, empire line, and a sheath dress with a slit down to show off long legs.

Those with fuller figures or pear shapes should go for dress styles such as ball gowns, a line and empire dresses. The empire dress is a favourite choice as it highlights the bust rather then the waist so your most preferred asset will shine. Go for bright solid colours such as red or shocking pink that will make you stand out but don’t wear something that is too busy, as it will highlight your shape. The sweetheart neckline and Halter neck are very flattering for this type of figure and will help support fuller chests.
