Buying Guide
Finding the perfect dress for prom, parties, and other special occasions can be an exciting yet challenging task. We can help you navigate this important choice and ensure you find a dress that reflects your personal style and makes you feel confident. Here are some essential tips to guide you through the selection process:
1. Consider the Occasion
2. Know Your Body Type
- Hourglass: Accentuate your curves with fitted dresses or mermaid styles that highlight your waist.
- Pear-Shaped: A-line or fit-and-flare dresses can balance broader hips and create a beautiful silhouette.
- Athletic: Choose dresses with defined waists or embellishments to add curves and dimension.
- Plus Size: Look for dresses that emphasize your shape, such as empire waists or wrap styles that flatter your figure.
3. Choose Colors Wisely
- Skin Tone: Consider what colors complement your skin tone. Warm tones may look radiant in earth colors (reds, oranges, yellows) while cooler tones might shine in blues, greens, and purples.
4. Fabrics and Comfort
- Look for breathable fabrics if you’ll be wearing the dress for an extended period. Consider factors like fit and stretch, especially if you plan on dancing or moving around a lot.
5. Accessorize Thoughtfully
- Choose accessories that enhance your dress but don’t overpower it. Simple jewellery or a statement clutch can elevate your look without being too much. Remember to match your shoes and bag to pull the outfit together.
6. Don’t Forget Alterations
- Even if you find the perfect dress, alterations might be necessary to achieve a tailored fit. A good fit can dramatically elevate your overall appearance.
7. Set a Budget
- Beautiful dresses come in all price ranges. Determine your budget before starting your search to help narrow down your choices and avoid overspending.
8. Start Early
- Begin your search well in advance of the event to allow time for shopping, fittings, and any necessary alterations. This helps reduce stress and gives you plenty of options to choose from.
9. Trust Your Instincts
- Ultimately, choose a dress that feels right for you. Whether you prefer classic elegance, modern trends, or bohemian styles, select something that resonates with your personal style and makes you feel fabulous.
By following these guidelines, you can confidently navigate the process of finding your perfect dress for any special occasion. Enjoy the experience, and remember that the most important thing is feeling great in what you wear!

I visited DD today with my daughter Amy searching for a prom dress. We were warmly welcomed and helped by the staff. Nothing was too much trouble for the ladies helping us & Amy was able to try on many dresses to find the right size, style & colour for her.We felt there was a varied choice of styles of dress & were reasonably priced as we had been to other shops where the service, selection and price was not so good. The whole experience was lovely and left with the perfect dress & a very happy young lady. Thank you to all.

I had a great experience at Diversity Design while shopping for my daughter’s prom dress! From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive despite being busy. They took the time to listen to my daughter and helped her try on a variety of styles, offering great suggestions along the way. There is a wide selection of dresses—so many gorgeous options, all in different colors and cuts, that makes it hard to choose. We never felt rushed, even though my daughter tried on a number of dresses. The assistant even gave us accessories to try on to give us an idea of the look we were after. It was an stress-free and enjoyable experience, and my daughter ended up finding the dress that was exactly what she wanted. The customer service was outstanding, and we left feeling excited and relieved, knowing my daughter had found the perfect prom dress. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality dresses and top-notch service. This is my favourite shop in Fonthill Road - my other daughter even bought her dress here last year! Thank you Diversity Design for all your help.
