We may only be in April, but it’s already time to think about prom dresses. For those whose school years are long gone, the upcoming season will no doubt bring with it plenty of occasions to dress up, from summer weddings to fancy events requiring some kind of evening attire.
Far from us to complain, dressing up is what we live for.
Whatever the occasion, however, an evening dress may be part of your outfit. And here lies the problem: most of us have no idea where to start when it comes to evening dresses.
Not to worry, we, and Sumissura, are here to help.
Long or short?
A question every woman has asked at some point in her life. Long screams evening, but you may want to show your pins in all their shapely glory.
Whatever you choose, own it. Sumissura allows you to pick the length of your dress, making it super easy to get the dress of your dreams, whether it’s full-length or short.
Neckline and sleeves
Asymmetric, straps, halter, bell sleeves, V-neck, boat neck… the options are endless. Neckline and sleeves – or lack thereof – make the dress as much as its length. Necklines and sleeves are again your choice. If you’d rather cover up, a boat neck may be perfect for you. For something a bit less fabric-heavy, spaghetti straps are classic.
Asymmetric dresses also offer a lot of variations, from one full sleeve to one strap. Pick the style that looks fab to you and forget about trends. A custom evening or prom dress is all about you.
Colour
Black may be classic but if you’re going custom, you may want to be a bit more adventurous. Greens and blues look fantastic for summer. Powder pink, burgundy and reds can also be good choices, depending on your complexion and personal taste.
A custom prom or evening dress takes all the effort of finding something you love in the shops out of the equation. Pick your style, fabric, colour, neckline, sleeves and length. Everything is up to you!
