15 things to avoid on prom night (take off 5 pounds instantly!)
We get our secrets from watching the stars strutting down the Red Carpet in their Oscar Night Dresses, created especially for them. Now you know the secrets for wearing a prom dress worth an Academy Award.

Avoid:

Two tone dresses-one color up top and one color down below cuts the sleek line in half - stick with all one color

Belts and frilliness at the widest part of your torso

Bright or pastel colors in the dress. Clear, pure colors like red, blue, yellow, orange,
green, purple tend to add pounds. Use these colors in your accessories, like shawl,
earrings, barrettes, glitter in the hair. Sparkles or sequins on the dress are ok as
long as it doesn't cover the entire body.

Horizontal lines in the cut or the fabric.

Fabrics that cling or are too tight, makes you look chubby

Fluffy, flouncy, ruffly gathered skirts, add pounds

Contrasting shoes-if your shoes are lighter or darker than your dress add 5 pounds.

Chunky shoes - make the legs look chunky, too

Light colored hosiery, breaks the line from dress to shoe

Busyness at the neckline, like big jewelry or ruffles. Check out these hot trends.

Hair hanging down over the neck breaks up the sleekness of the neck Think updo to create height!

Full sleeves

Stiff or bulky fabric

Shiny material like satin, all-over sequins taffeta, metallics-save metallics for accessories
