The advice I always
give is that they should try on lots
and lots of Prom dresses, even if they don't think they like a dress on
the
hanger. You never know until you try it on. Also, they
should take someone with them to give his or her opinion as to which
dress looks best on them. It is difficult to do, but a girl needs
to look past how pretty a Prom dress is and really see how the Prom
dress makes
her look. For example, a very full-skirted ball gown won't look
as good on someone who is short. It tends to make a short girl
look shorter, where a slimmer skirt will show off her petite frame.
