One of the most important events in high school has to be prom. Since prom is such a big event, the dress you wear should be memorable. Shopping for a prom dress though is not as easy as one, two, and three. You need to consider many things before you can find the right prom dress for you. A few things you need to keep in mind before even looking at dresses are:

- Body type

Not every girl can look good in everything she tries on. Luckily, prom dresses are available in many styles, so girls with different body shapes have many options. For instance, a petite girl may look good in a short dress with ruffles or an asymmetrical hemline, but the same girl will not look good in a floor length dress. Knowing your body type can save you a lot of time because it can narrow down your choices to best suit your body type.

- Skin tone

Knowing your skin tone before trying on dresses will allow you to choose a prom dress better. Warm skin tones (those who have beige, olive, yellow, or brown undertones) look great in earth tones like reds, browns, and yellows. For cool skin tones (rose, pink, and blue undertones) will look best in shades of green, purple, and blue. Of course, black looks good in any skin tone whereas white will look even better if your skin is flawless.

- Trends

The trends for 2013 prom dresses range from romantic to sexy. If you want to look as feminine as you can, what could be more feminine (and romantic) than chiffon dresses? For more oomph, choose a dress with an embellished upper body. If chiffon is not your cup of tea, a dress with lace and beaded embellishments is a classy way to show off your whimsical and feminine side. Some girls find ruffled dresses are a bit too much, but for 2013, the ruffles lend a romantic yet flirty attitude to any prom dress. Sheer prom dresses need not be vulgar. There is a big difference in grown-up sexy and youthful sexy. For prom, the latter is more appropriate. Sheer prom dresses for 2013 will have interesting cuts with minimal amounts of skin shown for a sexy but still wholesome look. Sequins are also making a comeback in 2013. However, instead of choosing a dress with sequins from top to bottom, opt for sequined accents like a sequined bodice for just the right sparkle.

- Budget

Money does matter when buying a prom dress. Setting aside how much you afford to spend and sticking to it will greatly help you in finding a great dress. For one, knowing your budget beforehand allows you more time and wiser choices. However, a great prom dress need not be expensive.
