September 26, 2022 · Fashion, Style tips, Womenswear




In a few months, it will be time for to choose prom dresses. As it’s fast approaching, many girls are browsing websites or going to brick and mortar shops to find their perfect dress.

Prom Dresses Options

Today, you can choose to wear a pantsuit, micro skirt, or even a sheer number. It certainly ups the ante at the prom and allows you to express yourself. While options are endless, many aren’t suitable for the conservative ladies who don’t want to show off much skin. Some people still recognize prom as a rite of passage, marking the end of the educative years. As such, it can feel fitting to opt for a more modest dress. The good news is that you’ll find something for every style online, you simply need to decide which style you want to adopt. If that’s a modest prom dress for the conservative then you need this guide.


Choose Your Style

Going for a modest dress doesn’t mean you don’t have options. Think about the style that you want to wear and what will best suit you for your prom. Start with your body shape to determine which prom dresses will fit you best. Make sure you find a dress that suits your skin tone and height.

Skirt

On a conservative dress, the skirt is going to be full length. You can choose between a straight skirt or a pleated option. You should also consider whether the dress should be flowing, tight fitting to your legs, or more of a traditional ball gown style. All are elegant prom dress looks. However, if you plan to dance, the tighter fit mermaid style dress may not be the best option. You can opt for a slightly shorter skirt. It would still be considered modest with only part of your legs showing, without revealing too much.

Neckline

Decide on the height. You can go for a very traditional dress that covers up your neck. Or, you can go a little more contemporary and choose one that is off the shoulder. A semi-circle neckline would be high enough to ensure your cleavage isn’t on display.

Sleeve Length

You can opt for long sleeves, elbow length, or ones that come just off the shoulder. If you’re willing to push the boundaries of conservative you can even opt for an off-the-shoulder dress. It’s important to decide which style you are comfortable with before you start looking so the elimination process can be easier.

Upping The Ante

If you want to make surer your dress is conservative but still makes a statement then you have several options available to you.


Slit

Choose a dress with a slit going halfway up your thigh and you’ll instantly feel like you’re pushing the boundaries. This sort of detail adds some dimension to your dress while leaving plenty to the imagination.

Sheer Fabric

A sheer panel around the neckline of the dress is an interesting option. You can even opt for one with a pattern or cut-outs to enhance the look. It creates an interesting visual without being too revealing.

Accessories & Glamorize

Once you have your dress, find choose and accessories that match from shoes, to jewellery to purse. Try out different hair and makeup looks once you have your dress and accessories to determine which style suits your outfit best.



The Gist of it

Choosing prom dresses is a fun activity but can take time and effort, especially if you’re looking for prom dresses that aren’t too revealing. Before starting, determine the cut that would suit your body and features to begin your search. Keep in mind what you are you willing and not willing to show off to narrow down your options.
