Ready, set, prom: your essential guide with help from Little Mistress

So it’s April, prom is on the horizon and the final race for the perfect dress, shoes and just about everything else is coming close. It’s hard to fit it all in along with studying, social life, work… so with this essential how-to guide, your usual “performance” of getting ready will be a breeze, with a little help from Little Mistress.

Their beautiful prom dresses are perfect for the event without coming with the dreaded price tag, ranging around £50+. With their help you can steal the show, and then get an encore with your bag, shoes and accessories that you didn’t even have to scrounge on.

The dress

Choosing the right dress can seem scary, absolutely, but there is another way of finding the perfect one for you without even leaving the comfort of your own home. Little Mistress has dresses that are short and flouncy with high necks adorned with lace and swirling in chiffon, or are long and flowing, dancing with you with their sweetheart necklines and ruched-in waists with thick gold metal belts. Most of the dresses have embellishment, lace or embroidery, and come in such a range that you are spoilt rotten.

The shoes

Some of us even bought our shoes first; they’re just as important girls, but this can seem like a losing battle. Nothing you like goes with the dress and you don’t like anything that does goes with the dress – problem. But your prom saviour strikes again with a selection of shoes that are made (no, really) to go with the dresses. Little Mistress also have a selection of stunning shoes in sizes from UK 3-8 so you can look no further than your new favourite website.

Make–up

Now the old saying does apply here also: less is more. Don’t think that because it’s prom you can apply your whole make-up bag. When it comes to deciding on what to go for, initially set a colour theme: what colour is your dress, shoes, bag, etc? Then go from there. For style inspiration flick through magazines, go online for prom pictures and see what the girls are wearing, even have a keen eye when going shopping often helps – you never know, you might get a bout of inspiration from anywhere.

Accessories

The itsy bitsy details that often we leave to the last minute, but mean so, so much. When deciding on a bag, go for something that you will be happy carrying around with you, small enough to not get in your way, but large enough to hold the essentials: phone, lipstick, perfume, gum. Go understated with jewellery, unless you have specifically chosen a dress that will let the jewellery do the talking; give it a backseat on prom.

Overall with time, patience and a lot of help from Little Mistress, your outfit will be done, et voila, prom queen in the bag.
