9 Prom Dress Do's and Don'ts

Spring semester is here, and that means that prom is already in the air. When it comes to prom, there are many things to worry about, from finding a date to mutually agreeing with your friends on a place to eat. (The latter sounds way easier than it actually is.) However, one thing shines brighter - and frequently beaded - than all others in importance: finding a prom dress. Prom is one of the few times in your semi-adult life you get to wear a bedazzled, sparkly Cinderella gown and it's totally acceptable, unless you want to be Miss America or live out my personal childhood dream of being a princess at Disneyland. So, take advantage of it! This is your moment to shine. Check out our 'dos and don'ts of finding the perfect prom dress below.

Do: Think about what colors look best with your skin tone. Not sure? This quick quiz can help. Tip: Jewel tones like sapphire and amethyst look amazing on everyone and great on camera.
