Fashion

• Start wearing your prom shoes around the house now. This will help to break your shoes in, making them more comfortable to wear. Getting used to your heels will also mean you can make a confident entrance without worrying about falling over!

• Avoid the temptation to keep trying on your dress at home. The more you wear it around the house, the less special it will feel!

• Make a list of all the appointments you need to book e.g. make-up, hair etc. Write out the timings and make sure you're allowing yourself enough time to get between appointments.

On the day:

• You may feel a bit nervous, but it's important to eat! Eating small, light snacks throughout the day will stop you from getting light headed.

• Make sure you have some magazines and DVDs ready. Depending on your schedule you may have some time to kill between finishing your beauty routines and waiting to put on your dress.

In the afternoon:

• Don't put on your dress too early. The more time you spend in it, the more you risk something going wrong.

• If you are wearing a gown with corset lacing, hang your gown up and loosen the lacing so it is easier to put on when the time comes.

• Apply all lotions at least an hour before you put on your dress. This will give your skin enough time to absorb them so they don't transfer on to your dress.

• Spray on your perfume before you put on your dress. The alcohol in your perfume could tarnish the beading on your dress.

On your way to prom:

• Does your hair look quite right? Has your tan faded a little since this morning...? Who cares! You look fantastic! Now's the time to let go of all your worries and enjoy yourself. You're about to have the night of your life!
