Prom Perfect: Tips for Finding a Perfect Dress In High Point, North Carolina

It’s not too early to start thinking about prom dress shopping! Prom season will be here before you know it. And while many dress boutiques will get new inventory as prom dates near, most stock their inventory early. Boutiques stores will often only purchase one of each dress, so shopping early gives you the pick of the litter so to speak.

Here are a few tips for dress shopping in High Point, North Carolina.

Many prom boutiques will highlight the dresses they have in their inventory. If something catches your eye, save the post for inspiration!

Make an appointment

Dress boutiques are a very different shopping experience than going to a department store! Appointments are necessary so that shoppers can have a personalized experience. Many associates work one on one with you to deliver personalized service while listening to your thoughts on style, color, and fit.

Set a budget

Prom dresses are not cheap! You can expect to spend several hundred dollars when shopping at a local boutique. If you are looking for a more budget friendly dress, you have several options to check out.

Search Facebook marketplace. Many girls only want to wear their dress once. To recoup funds, a lot will sell their dresses from the previous year on social platforms. This is a great way to get a very current style and a very reasonable price.

Some other Budget friends shopping locations:

Songbirds Consignment in Greensboro, NC

Dilliard’s Clearance Center in High Point, NC.

Windsor in Winston Salem and Greensboro

David’s Bridal in Greensboro

Gather your besties (and your mom) for a fun Girl’s outing

Why not make a day of this momentous shopping experience? Have lunch out with the girls and then utilize their opinions to help you pick out the best dress, after all shopping with friends is MUCH better than shopping alone.

Embrace your style with an open mind

It is great to have an idea of style or color before you go shopping, however, having an open mind is even better. The first year my daughter went prom dress shopping she was dead set on a navy or dark green gown. Is that what came home with her? Absolutely not! She found a raspberry red that she absolutely fell in love with!

Choose a dress that makes you feel amazing! Move in it, squat in it, dance in it! If you don’t feel comfortable, you’ll be miserable prom night!

Wear your prom dress in your senior photos!

What better way to get another wearing out of your gorgeous gown, than adding it as an outfit choice during your senior session. Let's face it, prom photos with a large group can be rushed and hectic. Let your gown have an extra moment to shine in a location that's all yours. From flower fields to an urban city scape, we can plan a location to match your dress and make you the star of the show!
