Needham, MA — Prom season is in full swing! Whether you are a teen or a stressed out parent looking to pull together an appropriate prom look, the following guidelines will help you:

Selecting your dress

• Look through magazines and catalogues to get ideas.
• Shop in your own closet (or someone else's!) before heading to the mall. Also check out consignment and thrift stores for one-of-a-kind and bargain fashions.
• If you do decide to head for the mall, pick a day well before the prom to visit some stores and see what looks good, pressure free. It costs nothing to try different styles and it can be fun with a few friends and nice comfortable dressing rooms!
• Shop in easy on, easy off clothes.
• If you are trying to match an article of clothing or an accessory, bring it along with you on your shopping trip.
• Try to limit your shopping trips to under three hours at a time. Long, shop-'til-you-drop sprees usually lead to impulse buying, exhaustion and frustration.
• Ask the sales person about the store's return policy. It is usually easier to return at a large department store. They generally have more liberal return policies while specialty stores and outlet stores often accept returns for credit only.
