5 Ideas for Presonalizing Your Prom Dress
 | |
Reality check: Someone might actually show up to prom wearing the same gown as you (horrifying, but true). Why not guarantee that no one will be your identical twin? All you have to do is channel Rachel Zoe and style yourself! Just add the right accessories and you'll stand out for sure. Get pinned. Attach a big crystal brooch or flower pin to the waistline of your gown or the front of your clutch to add instant sparkle and snag stand-alone status. Search vintage stores for one-of-a-kind styles. Sparkle star pin, $50, BananaRepublic.com   Do the legwork. Bright or textured tights will amp up any dress. Pick your favorite shade, but avoid pastel hues -- they’ll look more preschool than prom night. Cerise Pink Tights, $14.00, NineWest.com  Be in the loop. Cinch your waistline with a belt -- it’s so Sienna! A skinny belt looks best with an A-line dress. Choose a wider style to give waist definition to a slinky floor-length gown. Skinny belt, $12, FredFlare.com  Wrap it up. A couture cover-up, like a faux fur stole or embellished cashmere cardigan, will totally transform your gown. Use other accessories, like a chic headband and shoes that match your wrap, to bring the look together from head to toe. Jeweled cardigan, $23, Forever21.com  Secure a stap. Use adorned straps or intricate ribbon to transform your strapless gown. Sewing just a few stitches at the neckline of your dress will hold your homemade straps in place all night long.
