Prom Guide

It's February and you are very nervous because you still don't have a gown to wear or a suit for the prom! This year you want to look your best but you are on a budget ! The question you are asking yourself is to have a designer to do it or rent! Of course, it would be perfect to have a Designer make your gown or cocktail outfit , a Tailor for your suit or tuxedo. But when you have a budget the best thing to do is to go around  the City and checkout your options.

For those that are going to famous designers like Mimi Pimentel  , Benjie Manuel etc.  if you have a particular design or look that you want, don't be afraid to show it . You can also tell them what areas of your body you are comfortable to show or flaunt . Ask them if the design will suit you , they are designers , they know if the cut is flattering for your body shape.  They may even suggest colors that will compliment your skin tone , shoes , and even hairstyle that can go with your look.  Of course you can have them sketch as many designs until you get satisfied. Of course , you will just have to make sure your Parent's are backing you up 100% afterall couture is not cheap:-)

Falcons with a tighter budget , do not fret since there are a lot of very good sewers that can help you look like a Princess or a Prince just make sure they finish your outfit on time ! Always have a fitting schedule and of course make sure that you get your outfit three days ahead of time- insist you get it on time !  Also, some designers have suits and gowns that can be rented so make sure you know who they are .   Also there are rental places that allow you to be the  first user of the outfit , just make sure you agree with whoever you are dealing with .  

So whatever it is you decide to do ,  just make sure that you look your age , the design is tasteful and you are happy with what you are wearing. Afterall , Prom Night is always special .
