How to Look Hot at Winter Formal

HoliBall, Winter Ball, Winter Formal. Whatever the name of your school's winter formal dance, this is a chance for you to really shine before Prom season.
Not all schools follow the tradition of offering a winter formal dance for their students, but many smaller schools in Central Kansas offer these events. And in most of these schools, the winter formal overshadows Homecoming, making that dance more of a casual affair.
That takes us to the question: How do you look hot at your winter formal dance?

Get Your Sparkle On

In the dark, cold days of winter, there's nothing like turning up the heat with lots of sparkle. You'll cast a glow on the dance floor, sometimes literally as the dance floor lights will reflect off your dress's crystals and send that sparkle out around the room. These sparkles can come from three main sources on your dress: sequins, clear crystals or colored/multicolored crystals.
A full sequin dress will make you dazzling on the dance floor, while crystal enhancements can be full-out sparkle if you dress with many or more subtle if you like just a little bling.

Find Your Shape

No matter what kinds of curves your body has or does not have, you can find the perfect dress shape. Many short formal dresses feature the full skirt but many companies are offering body-hugging short dresses in formal styles.
The fabric of your dress also makes a huge difference, even among the same shapes. A stretchy jersey fabric will look much different than a lace overlay in the same style dress.
The illusion and embellished sleeves and halters also are popular in shorter dresses. They give the illusion of a strapless dress, but can feature extra bling and also provide support while you are dancing and enjoying your party.
