When there is thousands of prom dresses to choose from, where do you start? Why not try your imagination. Sounds crazy, but sit for a moment and visualize an image. That's right. Picture yourself on that prom night you have always dreamed of. Watch each scene closely and examine it.

Now ask questions. What mood are you in? Happy, excited, romantic, or classy? What about your surroundings? Is it a theme prom? Are you at the beach, boat, or restaurant? Who are you with? How does he look? Handsome, fun, adventuresome, long hair, short hair, or bald? How do you look together? Are you dancing? What song is playing? Now keep your imagination going, but eventually you'll bring it back to that one important question.

What prom dress are you wearing? What style is it? A halter dress, tube dress, or maybe a spaghetti strap? Is it a sexy prom dress or conservative? Is it a short prom dress or long prom dress? How about the color? Remember your mood. Does your prom dress stand out like a shiny red, or does it scream prestige like an elegant black? Have fun, pick a color.

Stay a few moments in this state of mind. It's your prom. What's important is to not get it right, but to come up with ideas. Just keep thinking. It will eventually come. Either in this exercise, in your sleep, a picture in a magazine, or a feeling you have. You're looking for that dress that is you. You may have to look at many prom dresses, but you'll know when you find it.

Below I have a few more guidelines to help you select a prom dress. It is a journey. One I hope ends in a wonderful night at your prom. Maybe not perfect, but one to remember. Thanks for letting me share this moment with you. By the way, I remember my prom. I wore peach and white. I'll never forget it.

Prom Dress Guidelines:
1). Collect prom dress photos of what you imagined.
2). Pick your favorite dress. Don't let your mom or best friend decide.
3). Be flexible. You can change your mind.
4). Show your prom dress pictures to your friends. Post it on your facebook profile and see what people say.
5). Know what you look good in. This is were your mom and others come in.
6). Set a deadline and decide. Don't wait too long. Give yourself enough time for shipping. (When they say 3 days, that doesn't include processing.)
7). Smile and enjoy. It's your prom.
