PROM 101: Everything You Need to Know (So You Don’t Freak Out)


Okay, bestie—prom szn is coming in hot, and whether it’s your first or final one, this guide is your pre-party prep 101. From what actually happens at prom to how to slay your ‘fit, we’ve got the lowdown on how to do prom the That’s So Fetch way.

Let’s go 💅

What Even Is Prom?

It’s giving high school finale. Prom is basically your school’s version of a red carpet + last hurrah + photo shoot all rolled into one. Expect formal vibes, group pics, slow dances, and at least one awkward teacher busting a move. It’s a big deal—and your outfit has to match the moment.

What to Expect:

✨ A venue (think ballroom, function centre, or a decked-out school hall)

✨ A sit-down dinner or finger food

✨ A DJ or band (get those requests ready)

✨ Speeches, awards, possibly a photo booth

✨Dancing ‘til your feet fall off

 

Let’s Talk Fashion 👗

Your prom dress = your main character moment. Whether you're going full glam or keeping it minimal, you want a dress that turns heads and lives rent-free in your camera roll forever.

Prom Dresses We’re Obsessed With:

Renesmee Strapless Maxi Dress in Black – Sleek, strapless, and features a high leg split. It’s timeless, figure-hugging, and red carpet ready.

Mirella Plunge Maxi Dress – A modern classic with a deep V neckline, halter neck, and must have in the baby pink.

Sonnet Satin Maxi Dress – Draped just right with a cinched waist, high leg split, and that silky movement.

Aderyn Satin Corset Maxi Dress – Minimal but impactful. The structured top gives corset-core vibes, while the mesh detailing keeps it spicy.

 

✨ Style Tips

Highlight the neckline with a glowy collarbone and some shimmer—hello, glass skin.

Skip the necklace and go for bold drop earrings or a statement cuff—they’ll draw the eye exactly where you want it.

Choose fabric with structure (like double-layered mesh or stretch satin) to keep everything secure and snatched.

Don’t forget fashion tape or strapless shapewear to keep you comfy and confident all night.

Top it all off with a glitzy clutch or mini handbag that matches your look—just enough space for lip gloss, mints, and a little shimmer for touch-ups.
