Red Carpet couture takes center stage for 2010's best prom dresses. As celebrities wear vibrant colors such as fuchsia, lime green and blue gowns mixed the more demure colors of turquoise and browns, prom dresses for 2010 will follow this same prom fashion trend.
It is really important to think of makeup looks as part your prom ensemble. When you have selected the perfect dress, all the pieces of hair and make-up will fall into place. Here are a few pointers on how to embrace the hot trends and the do's and dont's of Prom makeup. "The glamorous look" is where all focus goes on the eyes...To get the best glamorous eyes, use complementary colors, matte and shimmer eye shadows, lots of mascara and soft pink lips (Madonna and her latest look). "The sexy diva" is defined by the high gloss lips, a skin lightly sun kissed and matte eye shadows, think Beyonce and JLo.
Let's face it, no one is the perfect model size. That means prom dress alterations which may be time consuming are a necessary part of purchasing any prom dress if you want it to look perfect on you Trains: If your dress has a small train, we suggest having your seamstress put a bustle on it. This involves sewing a handmade hook and eye to the back of the prom dress so that the dress can be brought up to floor length for dancing. To do this, lift the train to where it should be fastened to become floor length. Sew a small fancy pearl or crystallized button onto the back of the dress to this area (around the calves). Next you sew a loop of thread where the train needs to be brought up. Loop the threads around the button and viola! A dress made for dancing.
