It is a good idea to start shopping several weeks before homecoming so you have the best selection of styles, colors, and sizes. Shopping early also gives you extra time in case your dress needs alterations or you need to order a different size.

Use the designer's size chart and compare it with your bust, waist, and hip measurements rather than relying only on your usual clothing size. Formal dress sizing can vary between designers, so checking your measurements can help you find the best fit.

Popular homecoming dress styles include short fitted dresses, A-line silhouettes, corset bodices, sequins, satin fabrics, and dresses with sparkle or beaded details. The best style is one that fits your personal taste, school dress code, and the look you want for the event.
