Quick Tip

*What Did She Buy?

Did you ever think that a friend just might have bought the same dress as you? Before making your purchase, gather your pals around and compare notes.

*I Don't Know What I Want

This is quite possible. With all the dresses that are available... you simply don't have a clue what is perfect for you. It might be a good idea to start clipping photos from prom magazines and take your favorites to the shops. Present them to the sales person and then try some on. Some will work and some won't.

*What's In Your Evening Bag

You may have given this little thought, but what would you do if you spilled a little salad dressing on your gown?

Here is a quick trick. Carry a tiny container of baby powder in your evening bag and sprinkle it on the spot. It will help to absorb the oil, making the stain a little less noticeable.
