Prom season is here, and it’s time to find the dress that will make you feel like the queen you are! 👑 But before you dive into a sea of sequins and tulle, we’ve got some expert tips to help you shop smart, stress-free, and with zero regrets. Whether you’re going for red carpet glam, princess vibes, or something totally unique, here are the do's and don’ts of prom dress shopping for curvy queens.


✨ DO: Start Shopping Early

Trust us, you don’t want to be scrambling at the last minute! Our prom selection is made to order and each designer has a different processing time, so shopping early is key to ensuring your dress arrives in time for prom and getting any alterations you may need! Aim to start shopping at least 3-4 months before prom so you can explore your options without feeling rushed.


🚫 DON’T: Limit Yourself to One Style

You might have your heart set on a mermaid dress, but don’t be afraid to try different silhouettes! A-line, ballgown, or even a chic jumpsuit—step out of your comfort zone and explore what makes you feel amazing. Our stylists at the Curvy Corner Boutique will help you find the style that makes you feel like your best, most confident self!


✨ DO: Choose a Dress That Makes You Feel Confident

Forget outdated fashion rules! If you love sparkles, go full glam. If you want to show off your curves, rock that fitted gown. The only opinion that truly matters is yours! Confidence is your best accessory, so pick a dress that makes you feel unstoppable.


🚫 DON’T: Focus on the Size Tag

Size is just a number! Formalwear sizing can be all over the place, so don’t stress if you need to size up from your usual streetwear size. Formalwear sizing is not standardized and can even vary greatly between designers and styles so instead, focus on fit and comfort—because the perfect dress is the one that makes you feel like royalty, not the one that matches a number on a tag.


✨ DO: Consider Alterations

A little tailoring can take your dress from great to absolutely flawless. Whether it’s adjusting the hem, adding straps, or cinching the waist, alterations can make a world of difference in how your dress fits your shape. The Ivory & Main Atelier is here to bring all your alteration and customization dreams to life. 


🚫 DON’T: Forget About Comfort

Yes, you want to slay the night, but you also want to be able to move, dance, and breathe. Make sure when choosing your dress that it isn’t too tight, the fabric isn’t scratchy, and you can actually sit down. Bonus points for finding a dress with pockets! 😉


✨ DO: Think About Accessories & Shoes

Your dress is the star, but the right accessories will complete the look! Statement earrings, a sparkly clutch, and comfy shoes (because you’ll be on your feet all night!) can take your outfit to the next level. Our stylists at Ivory & Main Curvy Corner Boutique will help you find the perfect accessories to complement your prom dress right in our shop!


🚫 DON’T: Forget to Have Fun!

Prom dress shopping should be an experience, not a chore! Bring your besties, take cute dressing room pics, and celebrate finding the dress that makes you feel like a queen. Because at the end of the day, prom is about making memories—so enjoy every second of it!
