The right accessories can make your vintage prom dress accentuate the style and era with greater effect. For this reason it is advisable to choose period accessories that suit your prom attires. No attire for the prom night will be complete without matching accessories that may include hairpieces, anklets, bracelets, rings, belt bags, hats, clutches, pendants, and broaches.
Long prom dresses can be enhanced with a sparkling necklace and matching earrings. Jewelry adds the much needed dazzling effect. But it should blend well with your vintage dress, colors and fabric. For lacy and sequined creations perhaps a plain gold or silver necklace will compliment the dress. Multi-stringed necklaces are all the rage that can accent a v-neck, scoop neck or boat neck dress with beads or pearls. A sparkling tiara is the perfect accessory to a star-studded gown. Chokers are short, neck-hugging necklaces and look fantastic on long necks.
Your hairstyle should be considered when selecting your prom jewelry also. If you are going for an up do, then you should use jeweled hair ornaments. If you have long hair that you are wearing down, you will need earrings that are bold. Hoops and chandelier style earrings work really well. Shawls can be used to compliment your dress. They should match the color of the prom dress for a simple, but elegant look. Strapless prom dresses also look great with satin or lace gloves and shawls. Matching handbags and shoes are essential accessories to complete the look of your prom costume. You can find handbags of satin and beads or you can go in for lace floral handbags which are especially designed to accentuate the lace or floral components of a gown. |
