Grad Dresses...

Tips Before Hand...

1) When trying on different gowns wear a strapless nude bra- it's difficult for you to imagine when you have bright pink straps popping out!
2) Wear your booty shorts underneath- it can be helpful to know whether your dress is too short for your comfort!
3) Bring heels- these can be what make the dress! Those extra inches can change your entire perspective on the dress! They also make your legs extra long and sexy.
4)Practice the hairstyles and makeup you want before the actual day.
5) To avoid wearing the same dress as your classmate some stores will take your name and school (if you ask) making sure they don't sell the same one to anyone but you from your school!
6) Budget- Make a limit and stay within it! There are so many ways to save on the gown from ordering online to vintage stores, making it yourself and even from borrowing from a family member.
7) Bring a parent or your friend- not your entire posse! Too many chefs in the kitchen and in the end its your decision not theirs.
8) Majority of the time the gowns you would never think of wearing end up being the ones you fall in love with so take a risk in the changing room!
