Fashion God’s Way : Part 3 – Prom Dresses

It all starts when you hear those magical words, “Will you go to Prom with me?”. Or for me, it was saying to myself after seeing the announcement of prom, “I’m going to prom!”. Then the thoughts in your head start spinning with dress options, shoes, hair, makeup, etc. One of the hardest parts of prom is… picking a dress. Strapless or straps? halter or wide straps? yellow or black? blue or purple? short or long? 40 dollars or 400 dollars? (hope you go with the lower one!) the list goes on and on. For me, it was harder though. I had to think what dress would be stunning while also modest. It was a hard search and for some girls it goes on for days and days and days. Sometimes the enchantment of prom goes out when you trudge home after another fruitless prom dress shopping trip. Don’t worry! God has the perfect dress out there for you and he has a perfect plan. Trust him!
You also want to find the dress that flatters your figure the best. If you are petite, shorter dresses and the mermaid style dresses look especially good. (At least I think so)
If you are slightly bigger, then the ballroom dress style looks good.
But I always say, ballroom style looks good on everybody! 
A few things to remember while shopping:
1. Price! This is a tough one for some girls! You want that special dress but its just out of your price range!
Look online. Keep watching the store for any special deals or sales. Maybe a better dress will turn up for your price.
2. Style! Like I said, you really want to make sure the style flatters your figure! Don’t get discouraged if a dress looks different on you than on your friend. Find the dress YOU like and that YOU feel fabulous in! Its your night!
3. Modesty! Ouch! For some of you thats a pain in the rear. Its not bad if you want to look stunning but lets remember that stunning doesn’t always mean immodest! Make sure the dress is high enough and that when you lean over, nothing shows! Also be sure that the dress length is ok. Always check with your parents to make sure what length they are comfortable with you wearing. Then obey and respect them! Obviously if the dress is floor length, length is not a issue 
But if the dress is knee length or below the knee, make sure when you jump or sit down, nothing shows! We as women want to honor men by wearing things that don’t cause them to stumble!
All that being said, here’s some fabulous dresses!!
1. Ballroom style, my favorite This is a gorgeous color and a beautiful dress! One thing, I would add straps.
2. Just below the knee style! Love this dress! (Also would add straps)
3. Straight and sleek style! ( I would add straps )

It will probably be a couple months before I go to prom but I probably will post a pic of the dress I choose! Thanks Jan!

I don’t think adding straps makes the dresses modest.
They reveal a lot of skin and draw attention to your cleavage and breasts.

I tried to only put dresses that dont show cleavage. I looked again at them to make sure and yes skin is showing but believe me its no where the amount that was showing on some dresses that popped up when I searched prom dresses on google. Again I would like to say that whatever you feel comfortable in, you should wear. Obviously not everyone feels comfortable in these styles so don’t feel pressured to wear them! As for the straps, I feel they add a lot of
modesty since you don’t have to worry about your dress showing anything as you tear up the dance floor! But again, these are just my thoughts and I am by no means forcing anyone to wear these styles or these dresses! Everyone is different and that’s a good thing! Thanks for your feedback! Any more questions please email me at godwardblog@gmail.com! Blessings!

Wow, these dresses are beautiful. And yeah God would agree with them…..as long as we don’t wear them to draw attention towards us……

balero jackets are another fun way to add modesty to a strapless dress.

Great picks, Talitha! I especially loved the last royal blue one (and I’m a stickler for ball gowns too)!
Modesty is a hard issue when it comes to prom gowns and formal wear. I remember my Prom nights–and having to make my dresses modest by adding sleeves since it was a school requirement. I opted to wear a bolero jacket–so I wouldn’t have the pieced together look.
Tip: If you find your dream gown for prom for an incredible deal, but you need to add straps, sleeves or a jacket–buy TWO of the same gown (one in your size of course; the other doesn’t matter). Make the additions from the second dress–that way the material is a perfect match. That’s what I did back in my junior year.

Hello Talitha,
I did some researching for modest prom dresses and I thought you and others reading this might be interested in some of the websites I found. I am not sure if they’re in your price range, but I thought that some of them were pretty modest and nice.
