Finding the Prom Dress for You
Finding the perfect prom dress can be a challenge. Whether you are looking for casual, dressy, expensive or cheap, the store with your perfect dress could be right around the corner.
The main three outlets girls use to find their dresses are online shops, department stores or bridal stores. Below are some options to find your perfect prom dress.
Bridal Store—Boulevard Bride:
If you are looking for a prom dress on the elegant side, Boulevard Bride is the place for you. Their dresses are formal, but come with a higher price tag. The pro of a bridal store is that they will not sell your dress to anyone else from your school. The selection of dresses is smaller than a department store but are always great quality. Dresses from Boulevard Bride are unique and guaranteed to make you stand out at prom.
Online—Lulu’s:
Lulu’s is a great and reliable website to find your prom dress. If you are looking for a casual, simple and cheap dress, Lulu’s is the place for you. The online boutique always runs true to size and ships in a reasonable time. The dress will come exactly as you ordered and never disappoints. If you prefer online shopping, Lulu’s is a great option.
Department Store—Nordstrom:
Nordstrom is a mix of casual and dressy. If you are not quite sure what your style is yet, you will be able to find a little bit of everything here. The price range at Nordstrom tends to be on the higher end, but it depends on the dress you choose. Nordstrom is the best of both worlds because you can search online from the comfort of your home or visit the store to try the dresses on in person. Nordstrom also has a new look book for each month, so that you always have the latest trends to choose from.
Finding the perfect dress is a different process for everyone. Even if you are not too sure of the dress on the rack, try it on anyway. You never know what dress you will fall in love with. Do not get frustrated if your dress-finding process takes longer than others’. Your perfect dress is out there! With great stores like Lulu’s, Nordstrom and Boulevard Bride you are sure to find the perfect fit!
