To add a touch of elegance to your look, consider wearing prom gloves. Opera length gloves are perfect for an elegant sleek look with any sheath or floor length dress. Wear short gloves or wrist length gloves to add a Jackie Onassis look to a short dress. Choose prom gloves by matching the color of glove to your style of dress and color of your dress. If you cannot find an exact match in the color choose a white, black or silver glove to match your prom shoes, prom garter or prom handbag.

Gloves tip: Remember to keep your gloves on all night with the exception of dinner. To make a lasting impression, slip off your gloves one finger at a time. This not only gives off the impression of sophistication but it helps when you need to put your gloves back on so the fingers are not turned inside out. If you have trouble taking off your gloves one finger at a time, you may want to choose fingerless gloves and will go well with your prom dress

BEFORE YOUR DATE COMES: Put on your prom dress and be ready and waiting by the door for your date. Cut off all hanger straps that may be on your prom dress. Proper prom etiquette states that you should be the first person your date encounters after he rings the doorbell. Have your parents take photos just in case something happens to the photographer at prom. Remember to have fun! There is only one prom and this will remain in your memory for eternity so LIVE IT UP! DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING!

Let's face it, no one is the perfect model size. That means prom dress alterations which may be time consuming are a necessary part of purchasing any prom dress if you want it to look perfect on you. Finding a good seamstress: Look in your local yellow pages under "Tailors". Make sure to ask to see a sample of the work they have performed before they touch your dress. Our prom dresses are of the highest quality, don't ruin them by having someone who does not have talent experiment on your prom gown. Also, a local bridal store may alter prom dresses so check for these stores under "bridal stores". Normally if a seamstress has worked on difficult wedding dresses, a prom dress will be a piece of cake for them.
