Most girls have dreamed of Prom Night since they were little girls. They dreamed of walking in and being the belle of the ball. Our goal is to help each girl, whatever your shape or size may be to find the perfect dress that will fulfill your dream of being a princess for the night.

1. Shop with an open mind: Most girls have envisioned their dream dress since they were little. However, when prom time actually homes around, many discover that their original dress choice doesn't quite look and feel comfortable on them. Whether you are shopping with us online at Beautifullymodest.com, or at one of retail locations, give yourself plenty of time so that you an try on different styles and cuts.Our trained consultants have sold thousands of dresses and are ready to help you, offer suggestions and open your mind to different ideas. With hundreds of dress styles to choose from, you and your consultant will be in for an exciting shopping experience.
2. Don't wait too long to begin shopping: Boys...what is it about them?Why do they always seem to wait until the last minute to ask? Many times we have girls come in the day of prom because their date waited until the last minute to ask. We are eager to help you no matter what your timeline is, but to ensure that you get the dress you want, start shopping now.The more time we have, the better chance you have of finding the perfect dress.
3. Dress for your body type: One of the oldest rules of fashion is that different body shapes look better in different dress cuts. No matter what your shape may be, we will find the dress for you! We are one of the only stores in the nation with a size range from 0-30.Our trained consultants will help show you the styles that will enhance your features.Here are a few tips to remember. 1)Pear-shaped girls look fabulous in ball gowns.They accentuate your tiny waistline and hide any lower problem areas that you might have. 2)Athletic body types look curvier with an empire waist.These dresses cut right under the bust line and then flow away from the body. 3)Petite girls often look best in princess cuts.The long lines and lack of a defined waist on a princess cut dress will lengthen out your body and make you appear taller than you are.Remember, these are only tips!The perfect dress is one that makes you look your very best and feel the most confident!
4. Find the right fit: Numbers.Sizes are only numbers. Don't worry about the size of your dress; the important thing is to choose the one which feels (and looks) the best!No one will see the number on the tag, so don't try to fit into something which is too tight. Not only will the fabric pull in an unflattering manner, but you will feel uncomfortable on your prom night. Also, remember that many dresses will need alterations to create the perfect fit. If you are purchasing your gown at our retail location in Utah, it is an excellent opportunity to have one of our renowned seamstresses add unique flair to your dress and customize the dress to fit your perfectly!

We interviewed our top consultants at Alysse's Bridal to find what makes the difference between and chaotic experience and a magical one. The brides that followed these 10 tips had a far superior experience:

1. Establish a budget: A reasonable amount of your budget to set aside for your dress is 15%. For example, if your total wedding budget is $10,000 you could have $1,500 set aside for a dress or the total budget is $5,000, you should set aside $750. We have a wide selection of dress that can accommodate any budget.
2. Prioritize your budget: Many brides have one or two top priorities, like the dress and photography. Cut back in another area like catering and invitations so that you can be thrilled with what is most important to you.
3. Plan your shopping party carefully: Only bring people that make you feel great about yourself when dress shopping. Remember, the more people you bring, the more opinions you will have thrown at you. Once you find your perfect dress, you don't want to have your love for it tainted by a jealous naysayer.
4. Eat before you shop: Make sure that you have plenty of energy before you embark to find your perfect dress. Skipping one meal isn't going to make you look more beautiful in your dress. Try and bring a water bottle for you and your party.
5. Plan for an hour: Most brides take about one hour to find their dress and try on about six dresses. If you have any special circumstances that could make your experience take longer or specialized treatment, let the store know before hand so we can help you the best we can.
6. Be honest and upfront with your consultant: If you are planning on having a religous ceremony take place in your dress, let them know. If you love petal sleeves, tell your consultant. Our consultants want to find you your perfect dress and they know the dresses like the back of their hand. The more you can communicate what you need from your dress and what you like and dislike, the faster they can find you 'your' dress.
7. Be ready from top to bottom: Make sure to wear a supportive bra and ask your consultant to bring you a slip and shoes to try on with your dress. Also, having your hair and makeup done similarly to your big day will help you envision your dream.
8. Start looking early: The majority of our dresses are sold off the rack, but occasionally we have brides that need to do a special order. These take at least 16 weeks. Alterations also take anywhere from 4-6 weeks and need to be completed before Bridal portraits can be taken. Most photographers ask for 6 weeks to edit these photos so they can be displayed on the day of the wedding.
9. White vs. Ivory: Try and be flexible in your preference in white or ivory. Most color schemes can accommodate both and most of our ivory dresses are a diamond white. Many brides are nervous that there is a taboo associated with wearing an ivory dress at their wedding. However, most people will not even notice that the gown is ivory but will notice that you look fabulous.
10. Enjoy your experience: If any aspect of the wedding planning gets too stressful, take a breather. Try and keep in mind that all of these events are happening because you fell in love with your sweetheart and are marrying your best friend. Let the funny ups and downs in your planning bring you closer to your fiance, family, and friends.
