As you shop for the perfect 2009 prom dress, pay close attention to learning what style will really make you look and feel like a queen. Remember, sexy, beautiful, and eye-poppingly gorgeous doesn't mean Britney Spears nude. You aren't necessarily sexier for showing more skin. In fact, sometimes the exact opposite is true. Have you ever seen a beautiful woman who was modestly covered, and she still came off as mysterious and exotic?
If you really want to know how to find a prom dress under $100 that makes you look your absolute best, you need to know your body type and understand how to accent your best features with the right dress style.The Shoulders and Straps - How will your dress fit around your shoulders and your upper body? Do you feel safe with spaghetti straps? Should your dress have an open back or strapless gown? Do you want to wear an off-the-shoulder dress or a shoulder-less gown? For those girls who want to show off their bust, you might want a more revealing dress. What about a combination of both worlds with a sheer dress and a shawl to cover up when you want to?
The Back - Are you comfortable with an open back, or a half-open back with straps? Some girls looks best in dresses with no backs! Like Justin Timberlake says, maybe you'll be bringing sexy back, maybe it's not for you. The Neckline - Do you want a revealing neckline? Do you want one that accentuates your bust?
The Waist - This is an important part of the dress if you want to look your best and amplify the best parts of you. Do you want a fitted dress that shows your tummy, hips, and butt? Are you comfortable with a waist-sash or a bow? How about a more natural fit?
The Skirt - The skirt can be part of a 1 piece dress or it can have a whole life of its own. Will it be silky, sheer, and form-flattering? Would you rather have a big and flowing skirt? Long and elegant or short and revealing?
The length - Do you have long, lovely legs you'd like to show off? Are you tall or short? The right length and cut can make you look taller or shorter, and show off your legs or hide them.
The Color of your dress - Always choose a color that complements your natural skin tone and calls the right amount of attention to you. How much attention are you comfortable with? whose attention do you want? Your date's or the whole prom's? Color, sheen, and brilliance are important. Some love sparkles, some don't.
When you think about all the aspects of the perfect prom dress in relation to your body, it will help you choose your ideal under $100 prom dress, and save you a bunch of money. Knowing yourself and finding your #1 dress will help ensure you feel good in your dress, feel confident in yourself, and you will project and radiate beauty. Remember, make the guys say "whoa".
Make his jaw drop with Under $100 Prom Dresses
A simple, beautiful, and well-made under $100 prom dress with you inside will make your man's jaw drop! Sexy has hit a new level for 2009. Price is great, too, with many, many styles in this price range. This season's looks are thoroughly hot, modern, sexy, sleek, colorful, stylish, and wow.
All the parts of your dress should come together to make it beautiful. Remember the following:
Dress Length. For those with long, beautiful legs, you can probably accentuate them with a long dress or show them off with a short dress. Put the dress to work for you, making you look as you want to look - tall or not so tall. The right dress can really change how you look drastically!
Neck. How low should your neck and neckline go? Where do you want your man's eyes to stop looking? Bring him down to your bust, or leave him wondering?
Back. To be really risque, you may choose no back to your dress or a very low one. If you need to feel comfortable and covered, then a higher or normal back is better for you.
Color. Just by changing the color, your prom dress under $100 can go from subtle to shimmery, from laid back to loud, from good to bad or vice versa. Make sure the color or colors you pick work well with your own skin coloring. Be the complete package.
Waist. The waist has the power to bring together the different parts of your prom dress. Some girls have crazy curves that they want to show off, so a tighter waist is best in that case. Tall girls may want to appear long and flowing, and short girls may also wish the same thing. If you want to show off your waist, hips, butt, and stomach, tight may be the way to go. Under $100 prom dresses have various styles to choose from, so you'll find what you need without a problem.
Skirt. Long or short, part of a single one piece dress or separate, the skirt can also totally change your look. Taller girls will either want long skirts to make them look long, slim and flowing, but then again, shorter girls may need to make themselves look longer as well. If you want flirtatious or sexy, maybe short is the way to go. Just don't make your skirt into booty shorts and you'll be ok.
Shoulders. Are you comfortable with a dress that has poofy shoulders? (just kidding) Straps are an important part to think about as well. Some dresses have wide straps, some very thing. Depending on your body shape and your bust size, your dress' shoulders and straps may make the dress fit you well or make it hang off of you. How about a strapless dress? If you have a nice upper boday, strapless will certainly show it off. You can always get a shawl or a scarf to cover up if you can't decide what's best.
Think about all the parts that go into a dress, and when you find the right one, you'll know it. A prom dress under $100 will give you the best chance to feel good, look good, and have confidence this year at prom 2009!
