Avoid peer influence. If you are a lesbian and you go shopping for plus size prom dress with all of your girly friends... Don't feel anxious into buying the vivid, pink dress with ribbons and curtsy. Opt for the ripped black one that displays your sweet tattoo! And vice versa...
If you are a girly-girl however you have some not so girly friends, have the freedom to buy the bulging dress of all time with sequins and glitter.
Try to be yourself. Follow what your heart dictates and not to what other people telling you, " oh you look better wearing that headbands, or I like the red one better... The yellow will make you look pale" a piece of advice: If you really like the yellow one, then get the yellow one! Find the prom dress that will convey your real fashion statement.
