You have your dress, no problem. But getting ready for prom also includes jewelry, shoes and undergarments.
Jewelry: It can be easy to go a little crazy when shopping for prom jewelry. There is a lot to think about- bracelets, necklaces, earrings, tiaras, etc. - but be sure to pick out something that works for you and something that YOU like. Always go for something that will accent your gown instead of over power it. If your gown really shines and is covered from head to toe in rhinestones or sequins, then go for more subtle jewelry pieces like soft pearls.
Prom Hair Accessories: These can be even more fun than a traditional up-do for your hair. A headband, bandeau, barrette or hair comb can really highlight your facial structure and be a new elegant addition to your outfit.

Broaches and Pins: These kinds of accessories seem less common, but are slowly making their way into the realm of prom popularity. It's so easy to find broaches and pins to match your dress and provide you with that perfect vintage look. Broaches are elegant, very stylish and can be as intricate or simple as you want.
Lingerie: The options are endless when also shopping for prom undergarments. Strapless bras, backless bras- you name it, it's out there. The Adhere-a-cup is a strapless and backless bra cup that sticks to your dress. There is also the Iron-a-Cup that you iron into your gown. Our personal favorite is the Nu Bra , two silicone gel cups with adhesive backing plus a center front closure to control your own cleavage. You can re-use this bra time after time with regular care and washings.
Shoes: Shoes shopping should be fun, but remember that they are going on your feet, will most likely go un-noticed and should be the most comfortable part of your outfit. You are going to be walking around and dancing all night, so you should treat your feet well. Sandals and flip-flops are popular and simple options for prom shoes. The classic pump can give you a variety of color choices. Flats and ballet slippers are a good way to go for girls with some height. Dyeables are another great option. These shoes can be custom dies to match the most difficult colors.
Handbags: When you shop for your handbag, think about what you really need for prom night- cell phone, lip gloss, camera and some extra cash. This can all fit in the tiniest handbag, satchel or even your date's pants pockets. Don't be caught with a big purse at prom.
