Girl Meets Dress carry gowns from over a hundred designers so there’s plenty of choice and their range of figure hugging gowns by Dina Bar-El are stunning. Wish Want Wear stock about 40 designers but do have several gowns by popular prom designer Jovani. Check out the FAQ’s on both sites before deciding if renting’s right for you.

Katherine, the proprietor, has been helping girls find ‘the dress’ since 1997 and her service includes advice on which outfits flatter which figures and personal styling for special occasions. The store also boasts its own catwalk, an asset which allows customers to see how a gown looks, fits and moves.

It’s possible to buy or rent prom dresses, they offer minor alterations, and customers can shop in store or online.

Precious Formals, Forever Unique, Gino and Dynasty frocks are all stocked and Katherine and her staff take pains to ensure no two dresses of the same style and colour go to the same event.

For the past few years Walk in Wardrobe have run a Prom Dress Competition open to Year 11 school pupils in Sussex and this year the closing date is 12th April 2012. Enter online via their website.

A selection of Walk in Wardrobe prom gowns can be seen at The Martlets Fashion Show on March 20th at Sussex County Cricket Club.

BAFTA’s Red Carpet

By Nicola@myperfectprom
Monday, February 13th, 2012

The stars came out last night at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden for the BAFTA awards ceremony. Gold was definitely trending in all its glittering shades (see our Facebook coverage) and the little black dress put in a strong appearance too.

To us though the best dress of the night must go to Melissa George (left) in a Victoria Beckham gown which looked as though it was painted on. Her fringed clutch bag was equally gorgeous.

Finding this look for prom 2012 is not easy. The closest we tracked down was from the SuperTrash A/W 2012 collection. This Dutch label (right) are available in House of Fraser and plan to open a flagship store in London this autumn … bit late for prom!
