3. Dress for your body type
Okay, okay, so you can hardly open a magazine without some mention of “dressing for your body type,” but it’s sound advice, especially when you’re trying to turn some heads for the right reasons! Let’s be honest: Most people would look like a mess in a meringue shaped gown, because most people are not nymph-like cartoons (sorry, Cinderella). So before you commit to a military ball gown — especially if you’re buying/renting it online — read up on the styles that’ll be most likely to flatter your frame. It’ll narrow down your choices a wee bit, and you’ll ultimately end up with a military ball gown that you’ll feel perfectly comfortable in.
