Perfect Homecoming Dresses
You don’t have to spend a fortune to find the perfect homecoming dress. Shop early and dress for your individual shape to find the perfect dress this season.
Finding the Perfect Homecoming Dress Fit
The basics to building a perfect wardrobe lie in finding garments that fit and flatter your body shape in the complimentary color and tone. If you want to be impeccably dressed, dress for your shape and see the world of difference it makes!
Whether your are tall or petite, there are dresses that can either flaunt or disguise your assets. The trick to emphasizing your favorite focal point is to figure out your body shape prior to shopping for the perfect Homecoming dress.
To find your body shape, stand directly across from the mirror. Now, visually place points at both ends of your shoulders, place points at your hips, and points at your waistline. Visually draw four lines to connect these dots. What shape are the lines creating? An hourglass? An apple? A pear ? This is your body shape and now you’ll learn how to find the Homecoming dress to flatter it.
Dressing the Hourglass
Consider yourself lucky if you have the coveted hourglass shape! Although your shape is considered ideal, there are certain styles that will flatter this shape best. Corset dresses that nip in the waist, whether that be on a full ball gown style or a two piece skirt and top, will flatter the hourglass shape.
Keep accessories simple and don’t overwhelm your frame with jewelry or elaborate corsages. Hairstyles should be simple and unfussy to compliment your feminine figure.
Dressing the Apple Shape
For the full waisted, apple shaped gal, there’s a ton of dresses that will compliment your voluptuous figure. Drop waist gowns with princess seaming draw the eye downwards, slimming your shape. Shop for dresses in A-line shapes. Go crazy with accessories to brighten up your facial features. Sparkly fashion jewelry or hairpieces will do the trick! Hairstyles can be formal and should add some height. Opt for high buns or loose, upswept tendril styles.
Dressing the Pear Shape
Pear shaped gals need to focus on balancing the torso and the bust while disguising fuller hips and thighs. A-line or princess ball gown dresses suit this body type best. Try balancing your body with a shrug or shawl that will ward off the chill while flattering your upper half. Hairstyles should be balanced. Rather than sweep hair into an updo, consider a soft roller set style that adds some volume on the shoulders. Short haired gals should wear their hair down and full.
Eye Catching Accessories
Once you’ve found the perfect dress, it’s time to shop for the finishing touches. Costume jewelry and accessories are available at discount stores and fashion boutiques. The general rule is to keep accessories simple, or in line with the dress. If your dress has lots of fussy details like lace or beading, your accessories should be minimal. If your dress has sleek and contemporary lines, you can opt for a few bold, eye catching statement pieces.Shoes, although a necessity, should be a practical investment that will wear well and be comfortable for dancing the night away. Although stilettos may be tempting for their height alone, most girls feel their best in shoes they can walk in. Opt for a mid heel in a one to two inch height in a neutral tone. Better yet, shop for a beige or nude shoe with a kitten heel and a pointy toe. This basic shoe style will work with every formal dress in your closet and will pair well throughout the year with denim jeans and a variety of skirts.
Shop Early
For the best selection in dresses, accessories and shoes, shop early! Department stores start stocking their racks as soon as school is back in session. Shopping for the perfect gown is an exciting event that can be shared with your mother or your girlfriends, over a good cup of coffee, on any chilly autumn day.

Released during drag’s mid-’90s heyday when RuPaul and the Wigstock documentary were all the rage, To Wong Foo aimed straight for the mainstream with its inoffensive camp and “can’t we all … |
