High School Formals

Love Thyself

28 April 2011 by Marzie in Fashion, Homepage

During the Formal Dress Shopping season it is important to be kind to yourself. You might be stressing because you want to look good on the night or because you don’t feel super comfortable in a fancy dress. Either way it is important to maintain a positive outlook on yourself and your body while you’re trying on gown after gown.

If you were formal dress shopping with your BFF you wouldn’t put her down and hurt her feelings. You would be positive and tell her that she’s confident and beautiful. This is the attitude you should be practicing with yourself too. Girls can be harder on themselves than any one else. It is important to ask yourself “Would I let someone else say that to me?” if you’re talking negatively about your body image.

Different body shapes suit different cuts and styles of dresses and you will find one that suits your shape. Check out our Body Shape Guides to make dress shopping that little bit easier.

Make sure you’re talking to yourself positively and shopping with constructive friends or family. Go with a friend or sister or cousin who knows how to tell you the truth but can tell it to you in a way that doesn’t knock your fabulous confidence.

Most of all remember that you are going to look amazing on the night and it’s not the dress that counts, but the attitude you carry it in. A head held high and a big smile is all you’ll need to rock the formal.
