Each year thousands of girls parents pay stupid amounts of money for a dress that will be worn for one day and one day only. Not even a day, a few hours,and every year these dresses get worse and worse.

 Every girl is trying so hard to stand out from the rest and be noticed that they end up all looking the same. Even though they try to be noticed, they wear the same type of dresses,so they all merge into the background. Yes,you will get noticed if you are all wearing the same dress,but that's not the type of attention you want. Do you want to be remembered for wearing the same dress as every other girl in your year? Its the same, heart shaped corset in cream or pink or baby blue,with lace or sequins that flairs out and barely reaches your knees,that's finished off with either a huge,in your face bow or some form of embroidered sequins that create a pattern down one side of the dress.Don't believe me? These are some of the worst ones   I've found.

 Now don't get me wrong,there can be some dresses like the ones I have described above that can look nice,but in general they are not a good look.

If you want to stand out why not wear something elegant.Floor length dresses can add a touch of class. (but be careful not to over do it,you don't want to look like a red carpet wannabe) Also making sure that the colour suits your skin tone is also vital, if you don't suit red DO  NOT WEAR RED. Making sure you know what colours suit your skin tone is probably the best place to start when picking a prom dress.

So please unless you want to look like these two(who am I to judge?,find a new style of dress that will make sure you stand out and look beautiful! :)
