Tips for Re-wear Your Prom Dress
Your prom attire was gorgeous. You looked perfect that night. But sorry to say the evening has ended and now you wonder what to do with the beautiful dress. It's the age of recycling. For this reason, never just pack it inside a container. Make it useful once again. Here are some actions as well as tips regarding how you can do just that-and possibly even preserve the magic of the night still survive.
1.Wear it for a Wedding
If your cousin's wedding is set to be a fancy affair, your prom dress could be the perfect gown. Just make sure your prom dress doesn't look too bridal, as you don't want to upset her on her big day. Think dresses in white, ivory or cream and anything with pale-colored lace. However, if your dress only has hints of white interspersed with other colors, then it should be okay.
2.Wear it for a Pageant
If you're preparing for a pageant, you've probably considered wearing your prom dress to compete for a title. But if you've never tried pageants and you've always wanted to, this could be your chance! You already have the dress, the shoes and the accessories you need to enter. Now all you need is to perfect that beauty walk!
3.Wear it on New Year's Eve
New Year's parties are a time to get glam and welcome in the new year with plenty of sparkle. They could also be an excuse to re-wear your prom dress and feel like a princess of the night all over again. Dress it down by adding a fun jacket and opaque tights to ward off shave-ruining goose bumps.
4.Wear it for a Charity Event
If you're a budding socialite who is working on her social calendar, you may have the opportunity to attend a summer charity event with the girls of your town. To ensure that you stand out and make a good impression, wearing a fancy gown is often a must.
5.Have it Altered for a Semi-Formal Event
If you don't have any formal events coming up, but have a few parties that still require a cute dress, consider getting your dress altered. Shortening a dress hem to make it knee-length or creating a high-low hem out of a floor length one, it can make your dress look totally different.

Short Prom Dresses We Love
Prom is one of the few opportunities for young women to dress up and enjoy themselves, as well as show off their prom dresses ranging from elegant and demure to flirty and outrageous. This year, as you shop for a perfectly cute prom dress, you may ask yourself if you should wear a short prom dress instead of the traditional floor length gown. While a short dress is fashionable and looks great in many colors, but not every body style is suited for this type.
Take a look in the mirror and study how you look. Are you petite and short? If so, a short, strapless prom dress may work, especially if you have a slim frame and small bust. With the right pair or high heeled shoes, such an outfit can give you the impression of greater height.
For plus-sized young women, some designers do make short dresses that work to emphasize features of your body that give you a nice shape. If you prefer not to wear a long dress, choose one that comes to just below the knee. You can show a bit of leg and complement your look with some flirty heels.
Short dresses are not necessarily for everyone. However, they are available in exciting styles and colors. They have a unique look that you will not find in classic styles. In addition, they are definitely in keeping with the current trends.

For You Like-Proms
Prom is a great time to dress up, go out with friends, and celebrate high school. Many people say the negative side is that prom night takes attention away from studies and encourages superficial competition between peers at an age when self-esteem is fragile. It can also be the most memorable night of a student's life.
In the United States prom is a formal dance or gathering of high school students. It is typically held near the end of the senior year. It figures greatly in popular culture and is a major event among high school students. High school juniors attending the prom may call it "junior prom" while high school seniors may call it "senior prom".
At senior prom, a Prom Queen and Prom King may be revealed. These are honorary titles awarded to students chosen in a school-wide vote prior to the prom. Juniors may also be honored, but would be called "Prom Prince" or "Prom Princess".
