Advantages and disadvantages
Of course, a huge plus of a black prom dress is that it suits almost everyone. It sits well on the figure and gives the impression of being slim if there are any extra pounds. Due to the fact that the base color is exactly black, the dress can be diversified with accessories of various colors, which is great for graduation from the 11th grade. A black dress can be of completely different lengths, different styles and cuts, which does not prevent it from emphasizing the dignity of its owner.
However, not everything is so colorful, despite the fact that the black model is universal in application and creation of images. For example, black does not suit very pale skin. Also, such a dress will require bright or light accessories, a completely dark look can be gloomy.

Who is it for?
Black is versatile. Charcoal, peat, raven, black amber, pure black, ebony and anthracite are just a few of the black range. Among them, you can always choose the ideal option. The black dress impresses girls with a dark skin tone and dark hair and contrasts great with light and red curls.

Owners of a light skin type and blondes should be careful with the image with a dark model. They can overdo it and draw unnecessary attention to themselves, making their facial features expressionless. That is why it is worth diluting the image with other colors that will set off light shades of hair and eyes.

If you take all sorts of options, then by buying one black dress, you can provide yourself with an image for different evenings.
It doesn't matter what kind of dress is chosen: at the prom, it should look luxurious and not seem cumbersome. Then its individual components (cut, decor on the skirt or sleeves, neckline) will emphasize the image at the prom.

Various cuts that add elegance to the girl's look (like classics, mermaid silhouette, models with corsets) would be a good choice for a ball outfit. Modern dresses with asymmetry or in the style of the now popular layering of different lengths will become an unusual, eye-catching option. The flowing and weightless fabrics will create a fleeting vision of any girl that will take your breath away. Easy decisions on a summer evening will not make you worry about inconvenience or heat.

By style
In the modern world, every girl will find a dress to her liking. Each lady presents the perfect dress in different ways: lush or tight-fitting, with a slit or with a train, with a neckline or with a collar, with sleeves or open.
A beautiful, form-fitting black fabric that tapers below the knee is a great option if a girl wants to emphasize her figure. A sheath dress may seem like a rather formal and office option, but with the right accessories, it will sparkle with new colors at the last school evening.

Curvy models from the classy generation of the 50s are back at the height of fashion. Various draperies, ruffles, tiers will add zest to the evening look. However, you should carefully choose such models, because shapeless versions of such dresses often come across.
A long fluffy dress with a varied, but more often open top will make a real princess out of any girl. A short, lush solution will help create an interesting and catchy image at the prom.

The style of the wrap dress will be simple, but no less elegant than the other options. The belt will visually highlight the waist, and the short length will accentuate the legs.
The only thing is to make sure that the wrap-around outfit is not too tight-fitting, unnaturally tight-fitting.

Sometimes girls want to add some flavor. A dress with an open back is a good option for daring ladies, which will emphasize the elegance of a girl, revealing a beautiful back. Also, a special accent can be made with a long cut along the side of the thigh on the floor-length model. Not everyone can wear such a dress, but if you want to be a little bolder, then this option is perfect.

By lenght
Dresses of this color range are allowed in various lengths: mini, midi, maxi. The length should be chosen depending on the taste and how the girl sees her final product.
The black little dress is a legendary classic. Cropped models have always been in the wardrobe of fashionistas, but not every dress can meet the generally accepted standard of beauty. Fashion houses welcome for an evening out with side slit ideas.

Long to the floor and options below the knees, this also applies. You can choose a long dress of a non-standard style, for example, with a wrap. In such an outfit, you can not only come to the prom, but also to work, to the university or a simple walk in the city center.

Materials (edit)
In order for the dress to look good and not cause any inconvenience, you need to choose the material very carefully. If you sew it in an atelier, then you need to select high quality fabric, pleasant to look at and practical. The most commonly used materials are:
- silk;
- velveteen;
- velvet;
- atlas;
- lycra;
- cotton.

The glossy fabric gives older women an impression of fullness, so these materials are more suitable for young girls.Just in time for prom, to stand out from the rest in a dim light.
Natural materials are not the best choice for a dress for an evening, because they wrinkle easily. One awkward movement and there will be a visible crease in the fabric. Lace inserts on dresses look like an organic addition to a delicate look.

A color scheme
To look interesting in the evening, you can try to combine a black dress with other shades.
The most successful combinations will be with white, red, yellow. These vibrant colors will enhance your mood. There can also be successful combinations with calmer colors, for example, delicate beige will add variety to the image, while the combination itself will not be catchy. Cherry and light green, orange are also suitable, they all fit well into the image of the graduate. A bad choice would be a combination of black and gray, pink or lemon, brown. These colors are not combined within the same dress, adding absurdity to the image.

For a more effective look, fabrics with a silvered or gilded thread passed through them, creating a shine effect. Dresses embroidered with beads or rhinestones will stand out in the crowd of classmates with sparkling tints.
In the event that the girl does not like embroidered models, you can choose a polka dot solution. Fashion experts say large peas are the best option.

Selection Tips
Young girls should choose a dress based on their fabric preferences. Let it be cotton, linen with the addition of polyester, lycra, for example, and then it will wrinkle less, retain its shape and color. Pure cotton or linen isn't the most glamorous choice for a basic black dress. Such fabrics wrinkle easily and quickly fade, literally in a couple of washes. A grayed-out black dress will immediately cease to radiate chic.

A dark dress for young mothers can be loose-fitting so that it does not restrict movement and does not pinch the stomach. A multi-layer solution or a floor-length model will be convenient options for a girl waiting for a replenishment. If an older woman chooses a black dress for herself, then it is worth taking a closer look at ideas with an average length: slightly above or below the knee. Any model, be it a sheath or a black shirt dress, will look good, making the silhouette slimmer. However, it is important to remember that black products add age, so it is imperative to dilute the image with light or multi-colored accessories.
Advice for overweight girls: do not be afraid to choose a black dress. A correctly chosen style of large sizes will hide figure flaws, emphasizing the advantages. A tight-fitting, off-the-shoulder, double-flounced dress or a below-the-knee wrap dress with a pleated skirt are some of the many options that will look great on curvy girls, focusing on the positive side of the figure.

What to wear with?
A huge plus of a black dress is that it will fit into any dress code, and a new image can be created by changing accessories.
It is better to choose shoes of a plain light color. Beige lacquered pumps with a black product are now considered one of the best looks. If you don't have light-colored shoes or don't want to add a new color, vintage pumps with straps or square toe sandals are an excellent choice. A midi dress will be stunningly complemented by them, and a minimalist necklace and handbag will complete the look. Courageous girls can dilute the look with black sneakers.

The handbag should match the color scheme. It can be white (this is a universal color), red and various shades of black. However, these are not the only accessories that can complement or change the look with a black outfit. The corset will accentuate the waist, while highlighting the hips and chest. The result is a holistic outline of the figure, where all its parts are presented in a positive light.
If you're worried about freezing, you can complement the mini outfit with a long jacket to create a single line.

If there are jewelry in the wardrobe that does not fit anything, then they may well become an excellent complement to the image with a dark outfit. Jewelry will look beautiful, silver and gold options will be appropriate. It is only necessary to take into account the shape and depth of the neck. If a girl wants to look stylish and tasteful, she should give preference to detachable collars and pearl thread: these are the best friends of the black outfit.
