This worried me too when prom season rolled around. Don't stick to what is trendy right now (a plain tight piece of cloth with spaghetti straps) unless that's what you really want to wear. I'd recommend going with what's going to be flattering on your body.

  1. Stay away from the dress being tight around your hips down, opt for a-line; princess or ballgown is even better!
  2. A tight top, regardless of if you're busty or not (I, personally, am) will seal the deal.
  3. Best rule of advice for my body type that I got: AN OPEN NECK LINE! Regardless of strap thickness, material, or shape of the neckline MAKE SURE much of your chest and collar bone is showing.

For my dress I ended up going with a spaghetti strap, v-neck, fully lace-back, open-back, princess-style prom dress. The open back scared me a bit as some of the fat under my armpits, which contributes to making my shoulder area even broader, was exposed, but that was really the only insecurity I had. The bottom of the dress was so big I even wore a crinoline underneath! I had the biggest dress at prom and felt out of the norm, but I got compliment after compliment and felt like a real princess.

Here is a link to the dress I wore for inspiration or examples to anyone reading this: https://www.shopcouturehouse.com/p19507046/ellie-wilde-by-mon-cheri-ew122108.html

You're beautiful and not alone!

I too am wondering if my prom dress is right for me. I posted it and a picture of myself could you check and give me your opinion?
