Different style dresses fit different figures, so in order to look your absolute best, try picking a style that matches your body type. If your not sure what your body type is, you can check on websites that sell prom dresses, or ask advice from a retail sales associate.

Next its time to decide on a color. Think about what colors look good with your skin tone. Do you have warm or cool undertones? Do your friends always compliment you when you wear a particular color? Does your boyfriend, or crush have a favorite color? Whats your favorite color? Your prom night only happens once, and you want it to be perfect even down to the color of your dress. Some of the color trends for 2010 are Juicy tones like lime green, lemon yellow, and orange. Not looking to make such a bold statement? Metallic golds, silvers, and copper tones will also be popular in 2010.

Last but not least, your personality should play a part when finally making your choice on your dream dress. If your going to prom with your long time high school sweet heart, a sophisticated, elegant gown in silver, or white will make you look like the goddess of love. Maybe your going to prom with your crush? Picking something a little more on the risky side could show that your adventurous. Try an off the shoulder strap, or a striking print.
