2. Keep an open mind. Try on lots of different styles of dresses. You might love a dress you never thought you'd wear.

5. Let the salesperson help you try on the dresses. They help you zip and lace up the dresses, hang them back up and save you time shopping.
6. Listen to the salespersons ideas because they know which body type the dresses look good on. They know which styles are hot and which styles have a great fit.
7. Theres no way to guarantee that youll be the only one at prom with your dress since girls buy from bridal shops in neighboring towns and also online. Let your friends know which dress you buy so that they will be able choose another style.
8. Starting shopping in January or February when the selection of prom dresses is the largest. Buy your dress a couple of months before your prom to have lots of time for alterations.
