     From beginning to end, finding the perfect prom dress can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be! The French Novelty style experts have compiled a list of tips to make your prom dress shopping experience fun and exciting!

Have A  Plan
·         Start early! Now is the perfect time to start your #PROM2018 experience. By shopping early you will have the first pick at all the new styles being delivered daily. Prom experts will also tell you, buying your dress before the busy prom season helps beat the rush. At French Novelty, you'll have access to our fully stocked showroom and the full attention of our expert consultants.

·          Be the first to register the dress! The stylist at French Novelty want to ensure you have a wonderful #PROM2018. We take the time to register each dress sold in our showroom. What that means for you as a client is, if another student from your school tries to buy the same dress for the same event, our stylist are alerted and we can deter two girls from showing up in the same dress. Because of the nature of internet sales, we can only offer this special service in our showroom. Please keep in mind, we have no control over what other's buy online or at other stores, but we do our best to help eliminate the stress of having an unwanted twin on prom night.

·      End of the year markdowns!!! Hundreds of Spring 2018 dresses are coming in daily. Our stylist have to make room for all the new merchandise, so..... that means you will find some of the best sales of the year going on now as we markdown styles from previous seasons!

·      Start saving early. Prom can be expensive. The dress is often the biggest expense associated with prom, in addition to all the accessories, shoes and undergarments. By purchasing these additional items with your dress, you may be able to score a discount or package deal on some accessories. At French Novelty, we offer special deals and promotions from time to time. Follow French Novelty on Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram to stay connected on all the upcoming events and deals.

·         Find inspiration! Look for ideas online, in magazines and social media to get inspiration for what styles and colors you like. Bring pictures of what you are searching for to the showroom. When you arrive, our team of stylist will be ready to help you find your dream dress.

Stress Free Shopping
·         Be open minded. Don't form an opinion of a dress until you try it on. So many young ladies make the mistake of overlooking a spectacular dress because of how it looked hanging on the rack. A dress looks totally different on your body and by stepping outside your comfort zone, you might be surprised at what looks good on you.

·         Know before you go!  Our stylist are experts at finding the perfect dress, but as a young consumer it is so empowering to know what you are purchasing. Start by familiarizing yourself with bodice styles, silhouettes and fabric choices. It can be overwhelming, but knowing the difference between satin, taffeta or jersey will help you articulate what you want for your prom dress.

·          Be prepared. Before coming to the showroom, make sure you are well rested and have eaten. Bring your shoes along if you have them. This helps the client walk in the dress, visualize where the dress hemline will fall and see if the garment will need alterations. In some cases, going with a slightly higher heeled shoe will help eliminate the extra cost of having the dress altered. An insider tip when looking at hemlines, stand on a hard surface in your shoes, not carpet. You will get a more accurate idea of the dress length.

     Deciding on the perfect dress comes down to what you feel your best in. Consider the opinions of your friends and family but ultimately, it's your special night. Don't get discouraged if you can't find a dress on the first store visit. Our showroom inventory is always changing with new deliveries every day. The French Novelty style team is also able to order the styles featured on our website directly from top designers. Certain styles may be back-ordered or special order items, so order early to guarantee delivery by your #PROM2018 date. Come by our showroom, meet the stylist and browse the hundreds of dresses we have in stock. We look forward to helping make your prom dreams come true.
