Know These Special Occasion Dress Terms
Formal Dress Terms
* Princess or A-line dresses skims your outline forming an A. The A- line dress is narrow near the waist and flares out to the hem.
* The Ball Gown can either have a top with a fitted waist or you can choose one with a corset style top. Both tops work with the Ball Gown's large, billowing skirt.
* The Empire is a neckline that is scooped out with a high waist that falls above the natural waist (think of such movies as A&E'sPride and Prejudice and Age of Innocence).
* There are various types of sheath dresses that cling to the body.
Types of Formal Dress Sleeves
* There is the cap sleeve, which is short and only covers the shoulders and upper arm. This style of sleeve really shows off toned arms.
* Juliet sleeves puff at the shoulders then taper to the wrist.
* There are also sleeves which start just below the shoulders. This is a good option for anyone who wants to show off nice shoulders and neckline without having to invest in a wrap in case of cool weather.
* Spaghetti straps which are very thin straps, as the name implies, and no sleeves.
*Strapless dresses have just that, no straps.
There are also so various necklines to consider when choosing a Formal Dress:
* The Jewel neckline on a social dress is a round neckline just above the collarbone.
* There is the Bandeau or Boat neckline on a formal dress, which skims the collarbone (think of a sailor).
* The Sweetheart neckline is shaped like the top of a heart on your formal dress.

Important Tips for Formal Affairs!
Prom Tips
Sometimes the walk from the parking lot to the entrance of the prom can be pretty long. You may want to bring more than just a wrap, if it is very cold out. You can always check the jacket in at the coat room. You may be glad you brought a jacket when you're ready to leave.
If you are riding in your date's car, be sure to check the fuel gauge. Who knows if a gas station will be open after the prom? You wouldn't want your evening spoiled by running out of gas. What would be worse than ending the evening in a long cold stroll in those heels you can barely walk in.
Many high schools have dinner included with the prom package, and many do not. If your school doesn't offer dinner, be sure to plan ahead. Make reservations if you want to dine at a nice restaurant before the prom. The restaurant will probably be filled with fellow prom goers, so leave plenty of time for dining. Being late may be fashionable, but you wouldn't want to show up just in time for the final dance.
When ordering your dinner at the prom, keep in mind not to eat anything messy; you would just die if your beautiful prom dress were ruined before you even got to make your grand entrance. But if you do spill something on your dress, club soda is known to work miracles. Messy or not, be sure to put a napkin on your lap while you are eating.
Don't over eat, no matter how good the food; stuffing yourself full may result in a very uncomfortable evening, as well as an ill-fitting prom dress.
Dress for Busty Shape

Halter top dresses are great for busty body types. Halter top dresses and beaded gowns look best on busty girls. If you want to draw the attention away from your bust while making sure you have a supportive top, halter top dresses and beaded gowns do this perfectly. Social dresses with halter tops do a great job of giving support and making your bust look flattering and proportionate to the rest of your body. Another great trick is to focus on your legs with a sexy cocktail dress. By showing off your legs, you show a more womanly figure.
A luminous halter top dress for your next formal affair. This slim fitting sheath dress features a dramatic halter neckline. The halter leads your eye to an amazing back treatment to accentuate the elegance of this taffeta gown. The asymmetrical sweeping waist flatters and the glitz of the brooch at the hip only enhances the silhouette of this halter top gown.

Flowers for Your Special Occasion

Girls, don't keep your date guessing - let him know what you're wearing on the big night so he can coordinate his tux and flowers for a perfect match!
While you're getting ready, place your flowers in the refrigerator to make them last all night long! To preserve your flowers after the prom or wedding, spray the flowers with hair spray so that they harden (and have a protective shell) and keep their color!
Score points, guys! Bring a thoughtful bouquet of flowers for mom along with your date's corsage! Girls, flowers for your mom to thank her is a nice touch, too!
Formal Dress for Petites
