Secret Tips to Getting Celebrity-Inspired Prom Dresses For Less
Do Your Homework
Find your favorite red carpet looks and choose the one that most similarly reflects your own body type. This is important because you may have certain curvatures (or not) that may not look as flattering on you as other styles would. Take into account your height, weight, bust and hips. e.g. Something Kim Kardashian would wear wouldn’t look the same on Gisele Bundchen. Catch my drift?
Socialize
Most prom retailers like to offer incentives to their loyal fan base on Facebook and Twitter. Tap into your feed to find out about their flash sales and discounts. For super socialites that want their deals in order, create an “interest lists” to organize the stores you want to hear from during prom season.
Save
If you’ve ever shopped online, you’ve seen the “promo code” box on the checkout page. You can crack this code to save additional dollars off on essentially any purchase. e.g. Grab a coupon for Light In the Box to save on the already discounted Taylor Swift inspired-dress featured in the photo above.
