Your young girl has grown up well. She must get ready for her prom. This opportunity to wear a prom dress or ball gown is very special and deserves to be given time and energy. Indeed, apart from rare receptions, it is rather unusual nowadays to find yourself in a situation requiring the wearing of a chic dress.
The budget
Not everyone has the same financial means. It is therefore impossible to impose a specific amount for this purchase. Depending on the store, you’ll find cute dresses for less than $ 100, but you could also spend several hundred dollars! In order to avoid disappointments and clashes during shopping, you should inform your teen of the amount you are willing to spend in total for this occasion. You could of course offer to participate in the purchase, spent a certain amount. Many young people now have weekend work or have some savings.
Renting a ball gown
Once you are a little more informed about its intentions, you can start your search. If you dreams of a princess outfit worthy of those worn on the red carpet and wishes to dazzle the gallery it may not be possible to buy, but nothing prevents you from renting the dress. There are many shops that offer this service. It is possible to find beautiful and original plus size prom dresses in thrift shops, but this is not everyone who likes the idea of wearing a recycled dress. Talk to her or take her to a shop so she knows what to expect before saying no.
List of potential stores
If this idea is simply not feasible for her, respect her choice and go for a walk of the stores likely to offer dresses quite chic for her ball. Here is a non-exhaustive list. Finally, it is possible to have your daughter make a unique custom dress. This option will of course be the most expensive, but it can be interesting if you can afford it.
The accessories
They are the ones who will give style to your teen – accessories allow everyone to express their creativity and can greatly enhance the overall look of an outfit. Everything is allowed here, but remembers that moderation always has more effect than exaggeration. Accessories include shoes, jewellery, satchels, flowers, ribbons and buttons, shawls, etc. Choose them to sublimate the dress and your teen.
Tastes and choices
The prom is a unique opportunity in the life of your teenage girl. It is important, as a mother, to accompany her in this moment and help her to make this evening unforgettable, while respecting her choices and tastes. Try not to impose your own ideas. Instead, try to help your daughter express hers.
