Make use of augmented reality to play around with various designs, colors, and even shoes and accessories to complement the dress.

Be true to yourself
Whether you like long prom dresses that accentuate your figure or prefer short illusion gowns that show some skin, do not be afraid to satisfy your desires. Comfort is the key to really enjoying your prom night. When you finally say ‘yes’ to a dress, let it be one that
expresses who you are. Do not let other people’s negative comments influence your choice.
You should seek the opinions of your shopping buddies, but the ultimate decision should be yours. After all, you alone will be wearing that dress on that fateful day.
Shop from quality online stores
Not every dress that you desire will be available at your local store. Shopping online is always a great idea. You get to experience variety and the convenience of shopping from the comfort of your home.
Avoid the last minute dash
Retailers have already started stocking their racks, so it’s not too early to start shopping.

It will give you time for alterations or for paying for your dream dress in small, affordable installments. Trendy dresses tend to run out of stock quite fast so you will do well to start your hunt early to avoid missing out on your dream dress.
Prom night is your time to make memories, rejoice and generally have a good time as you wait to graduate and move to the next stage of your life. The night itself is a culmination of hours of endless planning, saying yes to a date and of course shopping for the perfect dress. It lives on.
