Help For Super High Heels

Off To The Mall

You have a good idea of what you want. Now it's time for a trip to the mall. Here is a little advice.

  • Take a small group of friends with you. They can be extremely helpful with the little details.

  • Make sure that you use the proper undergarments for the dress style you have in mind. Do you need a strapless bra? Be ready before hand.

  • Take a pair of heels that are at least close to the height you plan to wear. That will give you a better idea of how the dress will look. Bare feet just won't do.

  • Try on several dresses. And when you have done so, try on a few that you aren't quite sure of. I found the perfect dress a few years ago by using this method. On the hanger, it looked rather ho hum, but my friend thought that it would be perfect for me. She was so right and I nearly passed it by.

  • Take photos.... a digital cameras will help make the decision that much easier when the time comes.
