You may have heard of girls who had issues with their prom dress. One of the most common issue they have is having a dress that’s in the wrong size. This can be a big nightmare especially when you just noticed it days before prom. By then, it would be very late to go to a seamstress for alterations. It is also heart-breaking to purchase a new dress especially when your heart is already set with that dress.
To avoid such nightmare from happening to you, here are ways on how you can ensure that your dress will fit perfectly:
- While you’re still searching for a dress, choose from prom dresses 2017 that’s a little loose on you. This would be helpful in case you would need any alterations to be done to it. Measure yourself 1 inch to 5 inches bigger than your usual size. A dress that’s too snug or figure fitting can be very difficult (and costly) to alter.
- If your dress happens to be too short, you can add extra fabric at the back of the dress. This will help in creating a false hem making your dress look like a high low dress which has been trendy lately.
- In case you’re getting your dress altered, wear flat shoes. This will help the seamstress know the perfect length for you. Wearing heels will just create an illusion of being tall. You might end up getting a dress that’s too long for you.
- When buying online, you won’t be able to fit the dress personally. Make sure to review the measurements indicated by the retailer to see if it matches with your measurements. Do that before you finalize your order.
The tips we’ve discussed will help you in ensuring a perfectly fitting prom dress. We hope that those points will help you in choosing and altering your dress.
