The Glam Prom Dress Fitting Checklist: What to Bring

Your fitting is the most important step. Here's exactly what to bring to your glam prom dress appointment.

Your prom dress fitting is the single most important appointment of the season. A great fitting turns a beautiful gown into your gown. To get the most out of yours at Laura's Boutique, here's our glam prom dress fitting checklist.

The Right Undergarments

Bring the undergarments you plan to wear on prom night — or close approximations. The right bra and shapewear change how a gown fits and how it's altered. A strapless or convertible bra is usually essential.

Your Prom Shoes

Bring the actual shoes (or the exact heel height) you'll wear. Alterations are measured to your shoe height, and the wrong shoes on the day throw off the entire hem.

Any Accessories

Bring earrings, a necklace, or a hairpiece you're considering. Accessories influence neckline and hairstyle decisions during the fitting.

A Trusted Second Opinion

Bring one person whose taste you trust — a mom, a sister, a best friend. Not a crowd. Too many opinions make fittings harder, not easier.

Photos of Inspiration

Save a few photos of hairstyles and makeup looks you love. Your stylist can help coordinate the gown's neckline and back with your planned hair.

An Open Mind

Come prepared, but stay open. Our stylists see gowns on real bodies every day and may suggest a silhouette you hadn't considered. Some of the best prom looks happen that way.
