Your high school prom is the ultimate event of your entire senior year; it is the celebration of all your hard work as you prepare to move into your adult life. For many girls it is not just another dance, it is the ultimate dance, and a large part of the fun is spending hours sorting through dozens of different prom dresses to find the perfect one for this all important night.

With this in mind, how do you know what the perfect prom dress is or is there really such a thing? The truth is that there is no such thing as the perfect dress and at the same time there is. You are probably wondering how any dress can possibly be both at the same time. Much like any other dress or item of clothing, what may look fantastic on one person can be less flattering on another. Just because your best friend looks fabulous in a long aqua colored dress, does not mean it will look good on you.

Your ideal prom gown is the one that makes you feel like a million dollars and turns heads wherever you go. Certainly you can look at what the current fashion trends are like, in most cases these are what you are going to find in the stores anyway. Look at what the hottest celebrities are wearing this season. In most cases they are wearing dresses that have been designed by the top fashion designers in the world. This does not mean that you have to buy the same designer labels, but what they are wearing can definitely give you some really good ideas for your gown.
