Having full hips isn’t something to hide. It’s something to celebrate. As you start looking for the right prom dress to dance the night away in, remember that it’s important that you dress for your unique shape and get that perfect look that will make the night unforgettable. To help you do that, DressProm.net offers up these great tips for dressing for your pear shape.

First off, know that a-line and full ball gown skirts are your friend. These gorgeous silhouettes will help to balance at your body and celebrate your womanly figure. In addition, they’re some of the most versatile dress types out there. Always avoid hip hugging styles like the sheath or mermaid, which can make you look thick.

Next, look to emphasize your middle and bust by choosing a neckline that’s a spaghetti-strap or a V-neck. Don’t plunge too low and look to instead flatter your collarbone and emphasize your bust. Choose a dress that features most of its detailing above the waist and that helps to slim your torso.

Taking these tips into consideration, DressProm.net has come up with two gorgeous gowns that are perfect for your pear shape:

Mac Duggal Strapless Chiffon Pageant Dress
Feel elegant and stylish in this beautiful dress by designer Mac Duggal. It’s sleek, slimming, and comes in two gorgeous shades to compliment your skin tone and hair color.

Mori Lee Ballgown Prom Dress
Choose from sunny yellow, beautiful blue, or pretty pink ball gowns from Mori Lee to make your prom unforgettable. This strapless gown features a full skirt and breathtaking detailing that’s both sweet and sassy.

Fall may still be a few months off, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start thinking about dressing for homecoming now. At DressProm.net, we want to keep you ahead of the curve and on top of all of the latest trends in prom and homecoming fashion. This fall, as most girls look through the department stores and dress shops for what they think is the latest trend, you can feel confident in knowing that you’re really on the cutting edge. Follow these homecoming dress trends that are right off the runway to get the look you want, just in time for the season.

Short
This trend has been around for the past few seasons, but not to worry, it’s still a fashion forward style this year. Be sure that you choose a short cocktail dress made from a luxe fabric in a flattering fit. Don’t go too short or too tight. It’s all about looking elegant and modern.

Asymmetrical
One strap or asymmetrical dress styles are going to be a huge trend. This style of dress has already made quite a splash on the red carpets, but this year, you can bring it right to your high school. If you were already planning on choosing a strapless style, reconsider and go for a one strap style that’s sophisticated and sexy.

Cinched Waists
Accent your slim figure with a cinched waist style homecoming dress. Look for a dress that offers enough support and has enough structure to keep your figure looking lean and trim. Also, don’t be afraid to play around with different fabrics, including satins and chiffons.

Accessorizing your homecoming or prom dress can be easy. All you have to do is just take a look at your personality! To find the perfect accessory for your dress, try out some of these ideas:

For the Girly Girl
Think shimmer when you’re shopping for the right compliments to your homecoming or prom dress. Metallic shoes, bags, and bright rhinestone jewelry are the perfect ways to let your girly ways shine through. Just remember, being girly doesn’t have to be all about pinks! Just about every color of the rainbow can be the perfect fit for your style. All you have to do is add a little sparkle.

For the Classic Beauty
Think Audrey Hepburn as you shop for your accessories. Pretty pearls, kitten heels, colorful flats, simple bags, and classic blacks and whites are the best ways to go when you’re shopping for a classic style. You can’t go wrong with a good girl style like this.

For the Edgy Rockstar
Let your personality shine by choosing bold accessories that make a statement. Accessorize your dress with animal print shoes, sky high heels, bold jewelry, and a spiky do to match. Finally, bring your look together with an evening bag that features a chain handle and some wicked leather detailing.
