You’re scared to offend or disappoint your mother. What will you do? Then, personalize your graduation dress. It brings out your sense of creativity and style. Here are some tips in personalizing your own graduation dress.
1. Check on the dress first. Look for something that can be easily taken off from the dress. Do not do anything that might ruin the dress. Like sewing an accessory then removing it after graduation. Decide what you want to add and remove to enhance the dress. Collect as many accessories as you can so you can have a lot of choices to add in your dress.
2. You can add shawl or sweater if you are wearing sleeveless dress. Make sure that the sweater is made from a thin material so you will not look bulky. Color of the shawl or sweater should match on your dress.
3. You can even use the pins from the achievements you received from school activities as an accessory. Simply pin it near the top of your dress. Aside from adding beauty to your dress, you are also showing off the achievements you receive.
4. Add a belt on your dress. You can match the color of the belt to the color of your graduation tassel or graduation honor cord. You can wrap it in your waistline, use it as a scarf or just wear it below your chest.
5. Eye-catching accessories also add beauty to your dress. You can wear jewelries, but make sure that you are not overdoing it. You can also wear complimentary accessories for your hair. It should also match on your dress. Wear earrings that will compliment the shape of your face and of course with your hairstyle. Don’t overdo your hairstyle. Just keep it simple. Lastly, you need to choose a shoe that will make you feel good and of course a comfortable one to complete your look.
