what prom dress suits me?
Daisy Willis
Prom night is one of the best days of your life. It is a uniquely special day, so you must get it right. How exciting it is to choose the style of dress and the colour! However, is it a fun and easy experience, or is it stressful?
I wanted to share the dresses that Daisy tried on. They were all very different in style and colour, but which one did she choose, and which was right for her shape, colouring, and personality?
After speaking with Daisy, she wanted a dress that reflected her personality. Her style preference is Classic/Dramatic, so she sought a dress with a wow factor and an air of elegance.
white dress
Daisy’s first idea was wearing a white wedding dress with gloves and a tiara.
Loving this idea, she chose this one. Technically, it works for her straight body shape, being cut in a straight shape. The dress is a lovely classic shape, and the neckline works for her long neck.
Why it doesn’t work: The colour white is a little harsh against her skin tone. The halterneck shape narrows her shoulders. The fabric on the lower half has movement, which doesn’t work as Daisy has no curves; she would better suit stiffer fabrics. Overall, it lacks the wow factor.
lilac dress
This time, we chose a colour that suited her muted skin tone. The dress is the same as before, more of an evening look. The fabric is better on Daisy’s straight, angular body shape.
It doesn’t have the wow factor, and the neckline reduces Daisy’s bust, which is not very flattering.
pink dress
This is a beautiful dress, the soft pink is a gorgeous colour for Daisy. Sadly, it doesn’t show in the photo, but the dress has a wonderful shimmer effect, making it look expensive. The cut is fuller, adding bulk that Daisy can afford. It also has a lovely criss-cross shaping at the back looking very sexy.
Again, the neckline is not the best, as it flattens the bust and reduces.
wow we have the dress
It is so true that when you know, you have the dress, you know… well, we both did! It is very Daisy; she wanted class, simplicity and drama. What a beautiful dress! Check out those trendy pockets. The neckline is better for Daisy; it gives her a lovely shape and compliments the angular features on her face.
The grey/blue is one of the top colours in her palette. The fabric is stiffer, matching her straight, angular body shape, making the fabric sit better on the body. It has shimmer, class, drama, and definitely the wow factor. I love the green showing through at the front of the dress.
When choosing an outfit, the first thing you need to do is ensure the garment represents you. If it isn’t, you won’t like wearing it. Do you know your style preference?
Colour is so important. Having the right colour will make you look radiant and harmonious with your hair, skin, and eyes.
The fit is crucial. If this isn’t right, the dress will look wrong. Ensure that you know your body shape, proportions, scale, and other rules that you can show off or hide if you wish to look the best version of yourself.
