Hey guys, I know prom season is gearing up and you're starting to get stressed about finding a dress. Well I talked to someone who knows A LOT about this topic: Pamela Henderson, owner of Camarillo Bridal & Gorgeous Gowns. She gave six tips for buying the most fabulous prom dress so you don't have to stress out when shopping for The One.
2. DRESS THE PART: Wear the undergarments and any hosiery that you'll wear the night of prom. That way you'll get a real sense of what the dress will look like on your big night.
3. BRING A SMALL FANCLUB: Don't go shopping with a big group. Pick one close friend to give you her honest opinion, or bring your mom who you know will always tell you the truth.
4. SAVE MONEY: If you buy a dress in stock (rather than special ordering it) it'll be much cheaper. And if you buy a model from last year or a sample dress, you'll save in the long run. Plus, keep an eye out for "Trunk Shows"--there are typically discounts there.
6. BEWARE OF ONLINE DEALS: While you can find a good deal on the web, some online stores can be misleading. Buy from a reputable store or one you've used before. If the dress seems too good to be true, you might not be getting a bargain--you might end up with a cheaply made knock-off that's the wrong size and color!
Good luck shopping!
