2023 prom dress trends: Affordable must-have Prom dresses at Sarvin World.

A guide to finding the perfect prom dress.

*Blink* and just like that, you're in your final year, it's exam season and your Prom is in-sight as the dancefloor awaits. It feels like you were in your mother's wardrobe playing dress up only yesterday, and now you're looking to be a life princess at Prom.

Our prom dress guide is the ideal way to put off doing all of your studies. Who needs to review algebra when you can choose the perfect gown to be named prom queen? You've worked hard enough to earn a little read and a scroll, so, fortunately, there is space for revision and shopping.

Don't worry if you're having trouble deciding what to wear to Prom. We're here to help because transitioning from a school uniform to a formal gown can be challenging. One of the primary problems with prom gowns is that there are so many options. It cannot be easy to narrow down the dress code when it is dressed up yet still relaxed enough to exhibit personality.

If you still need your prom dress, book that appointment with us soon to make the best choice. We offer in-house styling with our experienced team here in Manchester, where you get an individualised shopping experience to ensure your gown fits you like a glove. Why not visit us during the May bank holiday and say yes to the prom dress? Alternatively, we offer fast and free UK delivery!

 

Which prom dress colour is right for me?

Your skin tone can help define which colours you look best in. If you have a rosy complexion with blue-tinted veins, you're most likely to have a cool complexion. You have a warm complexion if you have a golden undertone with green-tinted veins.

Jewel shades like emerald, deep blue or purple work better for those with a cooler skin tone. If you have a warmer tone, reds, oranges, and earthy tones will look especially good on you. A classic LBD always goes well if that's still too much to choose from.

 

What Prom dress suits my body shape?

No matter your shape or size, you can tell if a dress is the right match for you if it makes you feel great. Nevertheless, some clothing trends might assist in drawing attention to your best features if that is your preference.

  1. Fuller bust: Deep plunging and backless dresses may not be your first pick if you want full support and no nip slips. Opt for a dress you can tie as a halter-neck or v-neck for extra support.

  2. Petite: Maxi dresses may be problematic for small girls seeking a dress that sweeps you off your feet, but shorter gowns can still be stunning. We also offer in-house alterations free of charge!

  3. Curvy: Show off your curves in an illusion dress, ideal for sculpting your shape. 

Should I wear a long or short prom dress?

The answer is you can wear either! Traditional formal gowns are usually floor-length. However, short prom dresses are still an option and can be worn on special occasions.

Once you've completed the difficult task of revision and tests, clothes shopping will appear simple. If you still believe you require additional assistance, swallow your pride and seek guidance from your mother. We've even got a handy guide to assist her in choosing her prom dress.

Remember to choose a celebrity-inspired prom style that complements your personality. If you want to look playful and flirty, try a look like Selena Gomez's. Try Emma Stone's look if you want to feel attractive and sophisticated. Look no further than Audrey Hepburn's timeless style to feel like a classic Hollywood star.

Maxi Prom Dress

A timeless choice for Prom is a maxi dress that skims the floor for some Hollywood-style drama.

Mini Prom Dress

There are several options for short prom dresses if a maxi dress differs from your taste. You can be more fun with shorter styles. Choose a dress with a fuller skirt or something slightly more youthful.

Midi Prom Dress

If your mother wants you to wear a long gown, but you prefer a short dress, why not meet in the middle with a midi?

"I don't want to wear a dress to prom."

Fear not; dresses aren't the only way to go formal. We have you covered.
