Getting ready for your school PROM

Year 11 at school is an important and special time for every pupil preparing for exams and the excitement of their school prom. When looking for the perfect dress, a design that flatters every bit of you and in a colour that suits you perfectly you need to try different styles on. A dress fitting appointment is recommended where all options and possibilities are discussed with a professional, not just a shop assistant, but someone with a wealth of knowledge in fittings, including style, design, alterations, looking after your dress, how to get in your dress, stand, walk, pose and more!

As a parent what are your options?

Mums, dads and guardians will be considering what the budget is to either buy or hire the dress. There is also the possibility of alteration costs. Most dresses are made one length and may need the length shortened. Other tweaks to straps and design adjustments may be required too. Pre-worn or pre-loved prom dresses are also a great option, both financially and echo friendly. All can be discussed and alterations suggested and arranged during your fitting.

We cover the bases and discuss things you would not have thought to ensure a very happy and stress-free prom experience for all.

What happens after the school prom?

You have a delightful, very impressive prom gown that may NOT be worn again, so what can you do with it? Firstly, look after your prom dress to help keep its value if you wish to resell it and get as much of your hard earned money back. Advice on cleaning, storing and looking after your dress is important and will be discussed in your dress fitting appointment. Every dress will have a re-sale value if it’s of current season (still a sought-after fabric & style) and has been looked after beautifully.
