1. Choose The Shinny Fabrics

It seems that most of girls tend to choose satin as the dress fabric. Actually, it is not a good idea. Satin, especially stretch satin, reflects light and makes you look fuller. It also shows panty lines and ripples and gathers over any bumps and bulges. Instead, choose a structured dress that's not in a reflective fabric. You might try some shinny fabrics and it will add many scores in the prom.
 
2. Place Your Sequins Strategically 

Most of girls like to place some sequins on their long prom dresses. Sequins are fabulous as long as you place the right position, if not, they look cheap and tacky. Choose a dress that has embellishment just at the waist or at the neckline and keep it simple. When sparkle is well placed it can call attention to the parts of your body you like.

3. Skip the Asymmetrical Trend If You Have a Bigger Bust and Fuller Arms 


Asymmetrical dresses are the hottest item in this season, but it doesn't mean flatter with all girls. If you're worried about fuller arms, it's not the way to go because it puts the focus on at least one of your arms and shoulders. If you have a small to mid-sized bust, good arms and a good neckline, an asymmetrical dress is going to be great for you.

4. Bigger Girls Should Show Off Their Legs rather than fat arms

Plus size women are more worried about the prom gowns. Most of prom dresses are designed for petite women, but it does not mean f fuller figured women have no right to seek for a perfect dress, should be buying dresses that skim the body and show off their best assets. Plus size girls usually have great legs and good bust lines. And since getting a little coverage in the arm area is always going to be a plus, a cute two quarter sleeves is the best way to do that and it's really cool and modern. prom dresses 2011 are getting shorter and it's a great trend, so I would balance the sleeves out by showing some leg. As far as necklines go, look for a slimming v-neck that calls attention to the center line, but doesn't bare the breast.
