Prom is just around the corner. We love working with our clients each year to make sure the dress is perfect for the evening. Having over 30 years of experience  making sure the perfect gown has the perfect fit, we want to share some do's and don'ts for your prom gown for 2016.
  • Do-Begin looking early. Allow time to try on several different styles. Try a style you thought you would never wear....you may be surprised!
  • Do- Consider what color looks best on your skin tone. Look in your "everyday " wardrobe. What colors do you tend to choose? What colors do you wear that people comment....you look great in that. Remember, everyone looks good in jewel tones and they look great in pictures. 
  • Do-Analyze the comfort and fit of your gown. You do not want to be thinking about your dress the night  of the prom. Is it too tight? Are you afraid to move? Is it too loose? Are you having to be careful to keep everything in place? Take the time to have the gown fitted properly. Your mind won't have to be on your gown,  when you'd rather be thinking of your next great dance move.
  • Do-Bring your shoes to your fitting. Make the decision of which shoes you will be wearing. Again, remember you want to be able to dance. If they are new shoes, have some "practice" time wearing them. Make sure to bring your shoes to your fitting so it can be hemmed at the proper length. It is no fun to be dragging a dress around the dance floor. It is also very frustrating to have spent a lot of money on a dress and it end up being too short because you didn't have your shoes at your fitting.
  • Don't-Limit the places to look for a gown. There are many unique places selling gowns now. You may even find something unique at a vintage store. If you decide to buy online, allow time for alterations and also time to return the dress if it doesn't look "quite like" you thought it would.
  • Don't-Just go with the trends. Really consider what you like and what reflects you. Remember, there will be pictures of you in that gown that will be looked at for years to come. 
  • Don't-Assume that you have to break the bank to find the perfect dress. Start your shopping with an open mind and be creative. 
  • Lastly, enjoy this event. Make good memories with friends. Have fun!!

Once you find the perfect dress, call us at Sew4u to set up an appointment to get the perfect fit.
We look forward to seeing you!
