Sweet 16? Choose the Prettiest Party Dress Ever!

Now that plans for the perfect sweet 16 party ever are underway, it is time to decide on a dress to make the birthday girl feel and look beautiful, and really shine at the center of everyone's attention on her big day! Little doubt you've already looked through all the style magazines, window shopped at all the boutiques, and checked the alternatives at your favourite retail stores. However the one dress you might be searching for seems to elude you. What to do? Included here are some useful bits of advice.

First, have you chosen a theme for the Sweet 16 birthday celebration? Are you considering a floral theme (like a luscious English garden), Las Vegas type celebration (feathered boas all over the place), tropical (luau, filled with tiki hut bars), winter wonderland (shimmering snowflakes and icicles glistening everywhere), retro (50s, 60s, or 80s) or fairy tale theme (starring the birthday girl as the princess)?

Or, are you contemplating a specific color scheme -- for invitations, wall decorations, tablecloths, plates, cups, napkins, and even the cake and candles?

Those are the decisions you might want to spend time thinking about, if you would like the party dress to match. Or maybe you haven't any particular theme or color scheme in mind, just the dedication to plan the most exuberant, distinctive, fun Sweet 16 celebration ever. That's nice too.

One thing I haven't mentioned is the tone of your planned party. If the occasion is to be formal and lavish, then an appropriate gown can be a ball gown or evening gown, most likely a long one. In case you are going for a themed occasion like an eighties party, you might want to contemplate a short or mid-length dress and even take a look at vintage stores.

Is the birthday girl planning on doing quite a lot of dancing? Then a style that is not too constricting -- or the opposite, too free and flimsy -- won't be a suitable choice. And one other vital factor in choosing a sweet 16 dress is to pick out the appropriate accessories, purse, jewelry, and pretty yet comfortable shoes or sandals to match.

Most younger ladies select classy, tasteful styles which might be elegant and stylish, and not too revealing. In spite of everything, don't forget that it is a Sweet Sixteen party. There are plenty of choices for your Sweet Sixteen dress, and it is good to start on the lookout for the perfect dress early, so you can enjoy the experience.

In today's world, everyone seems to be always so busy that taking the time to search out that perfect Sweet 16 party dress can sometimes be stressful. That is where the Web comes in. Whereas everyone will be trying to find "Sweet sixteen dresses" do not limit your self to that search phrase. It's also possible to search by using the phrase "Prom dresses," "cocktail dresses," or even "bridesmaids dresses." Your searches will produce a more diverse range of models and colors.

Naturally, your budget is something which might limit your choices. Do not forget that most of the online shopping websites will provide free shipping and simple exchange policies. Certainly one of my favourite things about looking for Sweet Sixteen dresses on-line is that there's a wider selection of sizes out there than in a typical retail store. Many shopping websites offer sizes ranging from 2 to 36. And the available colours, lengths, designers, and price ranges are conveniently listed as selection standards for you, so you do not have to do a lot of homework or guessing.

Teens really love to dress up, and your birthday girl is not any exception! They love the whole party experience and the sweet sixteen herself must be absolutely immersed within the selection of the colour, type and finished look of her birthday outfit. With the best accessories and of course the right sweet 16 theme and every little thing that goes with it, your young lady won't only look like the belle of the ball - she'll have a night to remember for all of her life!
