Empire Style Prom Dresses

Empire Cut
An empire cut prom dress has a high waistline (generally beginning just beneath the bust) and a long, full skirt that flows straight from this waistline. The empire style camouflages a pear shape or thick waist and creates an illusion of height for short or petite figures.

Prom Dress and Body Features

If you are like most girls, you probably have one or two features on your body that you love and wouldn’t mind showing off, as well as one or two features (or more) that you’d like to hide under a paper bag or trade in. The absolutely wonderful thing about a well-designed prom dress is that it can make your good features shine and your less desirable features dim in comparison. You know that not every celebrity has a perfect body, but you could almost never guess that fact when you see them in their evening gowns. Why not take a lesson from the celebrities? If you have a feature you absolutely love on your body, take a look at the tips below to customize your dress to that feature. Your beautiful, flattering prom dress awaits you.

Prom Dresses and Accessories

Once you have your prom dress, shoes, and hairstyle selected, accessories will add the final touch to a stunning prom ensemble. Check out our ideas below for the most fashionable and fun prom purses and jewelry.
Prom Purses
A stylish purse not only serves to keep all of your essential items with you and together; it can also be a fun addition to your prom outfit. The most popular purse styles for formal events are the clutch and handbag. You will find many different purses in each of these styles that will add that final bit of fashionable flare to your outfit. However, keep these tips in mind while shopping:
* A clutch is very cute and fashionable, but, because it does not have a handle, one hand is always occupied with it. If you plan on doing a lot of dancing or want to have both hands free, consider checking your purse at the door or choosing a style with a handle.
* Your prom purse does not have to exactly match the color of your dress. In fact, if you’d like to draw more attention to your dress and to yourself, look for a purse in a contrasting yet complementary color. For example, a silvery rhinestone purse with a black dress is very chic.
* An evening purse is often much more extravagant than an everyday purse. When looking for your prom purse, feel free to choose a purse with plenty of extras (ribbons, feathers, jewels, etc.); this type of purse will be a perfect complement to your prom dress.
* Remember to buy a purse large enough to hold your essential items. Your purse should have enough room (at minimum) to hold your I.D., some extra cash, your prom tickets, your cell phone, lip gloss, a small powder compact, and breath mints or spray.

Looking Fabulous in your Prom Dress

The best rule for dressing up and looking fabulous without going over the top is to look like yourself…just with an added bit of glamour. Overdoing it can leave you looking old-fashioned, unfamiliar, or just plain garish. With that in mind, choose two or three tips from the list below to enhance your glam factor for the big prom dress night.
* Try using shimmer shadow on your eyelids - play around with pastels, silvers, or golds
* Use sparkling shimmer dust on your cheeks and shoulders (if you are going strapless)
* Scatter some rhinestone clips throughout your hairstyle
* Wear a pink cardigan over a black, sleeveless dress; it’s cute and fun and will add some color to brighten your complexion
* Use a dark liner pencil all over your lips and then gloss over the top
* Use charcoal, navy, or brown eyeliner to make your eyes stand out ¬ be careful not to overdo it
* Try bright or dark nail color to complement your dress
* Use sheer red lipstick if it goes with your coloring
* Wear your hair up or back with fun clips or barrettes (especially if you normally wear it down)
* Shop for a dress with a scattering of sequins to catch the light
* Gloss your lips to a high shine for a sexy, wet look
* Try wearing a strapless or bandeau style dress if you normally dress conservatively ¬ make sure you still feel comfortable
* Wear shoes in a metallic color for a touch of glitzy glamour
* Incorporate a long feather boa or faux fur wrap into your ensemble for some diva style
* Try a sandal or shoe with a heel (especially if you normally wear flats) ¬ a little bit of heel will also make your legs look longer and leaner
* Add a tiara to your hair style ¬ it may be the only chance you have to wear one
* Be yourself and have a great time ¬ nothing will accessorize your dress better than a great smile

Prom Day

Prom day:
• Use a pore-refining mask in the morning so your skin looks and feels fresh.
• Try to do a little bit of exercise (not too much cardio) in the morning so you feel limber and slim.
• If you are going to a beauty salon, be sure to arrive on time and wear a shirt that comes off easily so you will not ruin your hair or makeup when you are getting into your prom dress.
