For girls and teens "its all about the dress ! ", so here are some tips to help you find your dream party dress.
1. Find a shop that specialises in party dresses. At Dress 2 Party in London, we have the largest selection of party dresses for girls and teens anywhere in the UK. We also sell all the accessories necessary to make your dress really stand out from the crowd. With our matching boleros, lace underskirts and shoes that can be dyed to match any colour dress, you can get the complete look under one roof.
2. If it is your own party, pick a dress in a colour that suits you and compliments your colour scheme and other family members. Whilst you don't need to be wearing a dress the identical colour to the invitations or the table coverings, it is a good idea to make sure that your dress won't clash with your surroundings or the colours being worn by parents and siblings. You will hate the photographs if you all clash!
3. Most bat mitzvah girls go for strong colours like purple or fuchsia, with the ever popular style 1002 by Sherri Hill now available in a rainbow of vivid colours to tempt them. Girls looking for parties in 2011, should also look out at the Sherri Hill Prom 2011 collection which has a stunning palette of ice cream colours perfect for summer.
4. Pick a shape that suits your figure. If you are tall, then Mori Lee available at Dress 2 Party have some amazing dresses in its Sticks and Stones Collection which are not as short as some of the other prom style dresses. For girls who are bigger, an empire line will be more flattering than a waisted style and the dresses with corseted backs will really give an amazing shape for girls who are quite straight up and down! Sherri Hill dresses tend to fit girls with smaller backs and bigger busts, but the bust cups can be taken out to make a younger look.
5. Shop with just one other person who can help you make your decision. If you bring along too many friends or relatives they will all have different opinions and you will end up confused and undecided. If you bring your mother, accept that she may actually have a good idea of what suits your shape and colouring and be open minded about trying things on. Things can look very different when they are on the hanger !
6. Decide on your budget and research what dresses are within your price range before you set out to buy your bat mitzvah dress. If you set your heart on a number of dresses that are outside of your price range, you will find it harder to find your dream dress from the others available to you!
7. Remember that every girl wears a dress differently , and if it is your party, all eyes will be on you. If your dream bat mitzvah dress is something that someone else has worn, don't necessarily let that put you off, as it will be your night to shine.
8. Make sure that you feel a million dollars in your dress. You will know when you put on the dress that is perfect for your bar or bat mitzvah. If there is something you don't like about the dress that can't be fixed, then move on to the next one. You will know when you find the one !
9. Consider other opportunities to wear your dress. Some of the full skirted tulle prom dresses can be worn afterwards to bar mitzvahs, but can be too dressy for other people's bat mitzvahs. Bubble hem or straighter dresses such as the dresses from Jessica Maclintock can have more wearabilty afterwards than the beautiful but very eye-catching Jovani dresses or Sherri Hill dresses that many girls love.
10. Remember that at Dress 2 Party its all about the dress!!!!
