subject: Selecting The Perfect Graduation Dress [print this page] It is the end of the school year and one month before graduation. You have worked very hard for four years, and you want your last event to be a memorable one. You want to look and feel good for graduation, so now you are in the market for the perfect graduation dress. You want to look good, feel comfortable, and confident throughout the night. This article will give you some ideas on how to choose your idea graduation dress.
Rent or Buy? If you are on a budget, you may want to consider using this dress more than one time in four years. When selecting your graduation dress, think about other events such as weddings and formal parties for which you could use your dress. If you are sure this is the only occasion you would use it, think about renting the dress, however if there is an inkling of thought that you may use this dress in the future, consider buying- there are plenty of places to buy dresses on a budget.
Is there a theme? If there is a theme, you will want to match that theme. The people who can match the theme but also maintain their own style are going to be the people who really stand out.
What is the weather and climate of the setting? Where you live will the weather most likely be rainy and wet, or sunny and warm? Although you are going out at night, you would be surprised to find out how the comfort level of your graduation dress will affect your experience. What are you doing afterwards? If you have a party to go to, you will want to consider your comfort throughout the night. If you anticipate the climate to be hot, even through the night, you should want to select a shorter graduation dress with breathable material, and possibly a shorter cut. If it is cold, a longer dress with less breathable material will do.
Remember, dressing for graduation is about fashion- but also about functionality.
What will your date be wearing? If you are aiming to be named the prom king and queen, you may want to consult a little before selecting your ideal graduation dress. You want both of your outfits to compliment each other. If your date is wearing black, you may want to consider white, red or pink. If he is wearing white you may want to consider green, purple, or orange. It helps to look at a color wheel as well before making these decisions. If the colors are not contrasting, think about wearing similar colors.
