Your School Formal / Prom
How to survive the lead up.
It’s your final year at school. It’s been a long road of constant study and pressure. Finally the time has come that you have been waiting for, You’re School Formal.
I have designed and made many formal gowns in the past and I have seen many girls become unhappy and stressed purely because they did not have a plan and did not have a budget.
The secret to a stress free formal is to plan, and even more importantly you must have a budget and stick to it.
Start by making a list of all the things that you need to buy and services you need to use. Include not only the dress, but shoes, bag, jewellery, special under wear if required, spray tan, makeup, hair dresser, any gifts that you intend to buy and if you are contributing to the cost of a limousine add that to your budget as well.
Cost everything on this list, total up the list and make sure you can afford all of it. If you cannot, look for cheaper services or find somebody that you know to do your hair or do your nails yourself.
More importantly if your parents are paying for all of this discuss the cost with them to avoid any last minute disappointments because your parents were not aware of the cost of something that was on your list.
