Just about every girl dreams about Prom but, as the big day approaches, many start to suffer from nerves. This is almost always because they've left things to the last minute. Here are some tips about when to start looking, when to buy, when to find accessories, when to order flowers and when to plan all the other numerous details involved in getting your designer prom dress to look perfect for Prom.
3 Months Before Prom
You really need to start looking now for your designer prom dress; ideally you should have started sooner. It's important to have an idea of what designer you like best and what style will best complement your body shape: Are you a glamorous Jovani prom dress girl, or a modest Tiffany prom dress girl? Choosing the perfect gown is what should take the most time; so start thinking ahead early. Tip: try and find as many of the accessories at the same time you choose your dress. Many online retailers provide a pretty comprehensive list of suggested items that will beautifully accessorize a particular dress.

This is the time to actually buy the gown. You need to allow for delivery time - this can take several weeks. Also, don't assume that because you buy a designer prom dress online that the delivery will be quicker; it won't. You also need to buy now so that you'll have plenty of time to make any minor adjustments that are necessary.

If you've ordered as scheduled above, you should now have received your gown. You can now make any adjustments that are needed. If you haven't already got all the accessories you need, go out and find them now! Do not leave this to the last minute; finding tiaras, jewelry, gloves, handbags, shoes and the countless other items takes time. Decide on the hairstyle you want. If you're doing it yourself, now is the time to try out the style to see if it matches the overall theme. If you're going to a stylist, make an appointment now, again to test out the style, and book a second appointment just before Prom; don't forget that this is a busy time of year for hairdressers, so book early. Lastly, don't forget about makeup. Test out various lipsticks, mascaras etc, so you're sure which shades will complement your dress as well as your own coloring.

Call or visit a florist to order a boutonniere for your date that complements your dress. Make sure your date has ordered a corsage for you; don't assume that he'll have done this.
1 Week Before Prom
It's time for a final dress rehearsal. Put on your designer prom dress and accessories and do a final check that everything is as it should be. Tip: have a friend take some pictures of you from several angles; that way you can be really sure that everything looks perfect. It's important to test walking around in your new shoes; walk up and down the stairs for practice and to check on comfort. Make sure that you have all the makeup you need, if not, buy it now. Reconfirm your appointment with your hair stylist.
1 Day Before Prom
Check your camera is working. Pick up your date’s boutonniere from the florist. Check that your handbag/purse has everything you need. You'll want breath freshener, lipstick, perfume, makeup compact for minor touch-ups, cell phone and anything else you might need.
Prom Day
It often helps to do a little bit of exercise in the morning to help you feel fresh and slimmer. Use a pore-refining mask in the morning so your skin looks and feels fresh. Make sure you turn up on time to your hair stylist. Wear a loose shirt that can be later removed without ruining your hair and makeup. Leave putting on your designer prom dress for as long as possible, until you're ready to leave home.
Prom Night
This is your special day so savor each and every moment of it.
