Last Saturday, May 21, VKLIVE took place with Evelina Khromchenko, one of the most influential people in the world of Russian fashion, a journalist and TV presenter.

During a broadcast organized by the Evelina Khromtchenko Fashion School, a fashion expert talked about how to choose a prom dress, what shoes should be chosen for this significant event, and what mistakes should be avoided.
First of all, the TV presenter noted that in no case should one refuse a festive dress, choosing in favor of extravagant or “non-standard” outfits, for example, ripped jeans with sneakers. What might have seemed an original idea on the eve of the holiday, hardly seems so on the day of the celebration.
“There are several moments in life when a woman should feel absolutely confident and absolutely classical. Graduation refers to such moments. Then there will be a wedding, and you also don’t need to come to this event in a bright purple mini dress and sneakers with high guards. Therefore that there’s a series of events that subsequently follow you all your life. And graduation is the first of such wardrobe trials. You don’t need to experiment like that, because you have a huge risk of becoming a ugly girl against the backdrop of beautiful women. The holiday will be ruined, "Khromchenko emphasized.

Long or short, that’s the question

According to the expert, the prom dress can be of any length, from mini to maxi, most importantly, the overall silhouette.

“Here you are: Vika Gazinskaya, a Russian designer, this spring-summer collection. This dress just fits perfectly in the prom. You see - a waist, a voluminous skirt, a length that allows you not to think that you will step on the hem with your heel (this, by the way, the danger of a long dress). Huge heels are optional, the main thing is the shape. Shoes that will create the silhouette that is typical for high-heeled stiletto heels, "noted Evelina Khromchenko, adding that the shoes should rather be half the size, than vice versa, otherwise you risk seriously regretting it at the very height of the evening.

For those who prefer a mini, a fashion expert advised to strike a balance between openness and girlish innocence.
“Here is Esther Abner, a Russian designer, this spring-summer collection. The mini for beautiful legs, but at the same time - the mini is very innocent. There is even a circular neckline - this is a corset dress that exposes beautiful young shoulders. Why not "Just don’t need to show the whole balcony. Graduation is not a celebration of disobedience, but a celebration of innocence. Now show it."
As for the midi, according to Khromchenko, this length is quite complex and "adult", so this choice will definitely do you honor.
The maxi length should be well thought out - you should not choose a dress that is too long, because there is a great risk of getting lost in the hem at the crucial moment.

Trial and error

According to Evelina Khromtchenko, several mistakes should be avoided: firstly, you should not try to repeat the images from the red carpet, since each dress is appropriate for a particular event, and what looked good at the Oscars could possibly look vulgar at the delivery diplomas. Secondly, you should not make a choice in favor of bandage dresses - in such an outfit it will be difficult for you to walk, not to mention dancing and having fun. And finally, you should not rush to a diet and starve yourself if you think you need to lose weight. In this case, corrective underwear will come to your aid, which also should not be overdone, the expert warns.
And, of course, Evelina Khromchenko is sure that the dress of your dreams can not always be found in the store, but you can always sew it yourself!
“In fact, this is not such a big problem. Take the standard, find a similar style in the relevant magazines, and forward, it’s not at all difficult. I tried to keep up with my beautifully stitching aunt. She, of course, did better. than me, and I, frankly, wore what she sewed, and still wear, "said Khromchenko." If necessary, you can sew anything, and even super-expensive fabric is not needed, because in fact it’s a dress that the worst case can be worn only once. But then you will simply be the most gorgeous girl: a dress worn once, and then hung in a closet for memory - what could be more luxurious! "

Maxi: in a long dress made of embroidered organza, with a peplum in front and a luxurious train in the back, you overshadow the beauty of even the most august lady! The neckline and lower edge of the dress are decorated with graceful scallops.
Midi: over a corsage dress, you wear a sleeveless airy dress, gathered around the waist, you will immediately want to spin in a dance!
Mini: a short lace dress, wavy from the bottom, looks very seductive. The straps and armholes are trimmed with narrow ruffles that cut out obliquely. Festoons on lace form the lower edge of the dress, so the hem must be done only on the lining.
