Prom is coming up soon!! When I was in the dressing room at Nordstrom Rack the other day, I overheard all of the girls talk about prom while they were trying on dresses. It made me think back to my prom and how much fun I had! My mom and I made my dress, and I felt so beautiful and glamorous!

However, we all know that being plus-size can present some challenges when shopping for special occasion dresses–especially for our curvy little sisters. So here are a few of my picks that I thought would be perfect for younger, curvy girls headed to the prom!

Are you a bit of a Drama Queen? Go for a long dress, full-skirted dress in a fresh, bright color, and don’t forget the sparkle! Here’s a gorgeous option from Sydney’s Closet: In Your Dreams Dress in Aqua.

Are you looking for something Fun and Flirty? Opt for a knee length dress with fun details like ruffles and sequins like this Trixxi Strapless Sequin Gathered Empire Dress from Macy’s.

OR this  Where’s the Party short dress in black confetti from Sydney’s Closet.

Are you going for a more Elegant look? Choose a longer silhouette with interesting beaded details and draping. Pick a gorgeous color that will look amazing on you. Here’s an elegant option from Nordstrom: Xscape Jeweled Draped Mesh Gown.

Or do you want to go Glam? Full-on shine and shimmer will definitely help you make an entrance! How about this Ruby Rox Sleeveless Sequin A-Line from Macy’s?
