Whether it’s a costume party, halloween, or even a Prom gown, more and more girls are choosing to wear the goth style and gothic prom gowns.
It’s not surprising as there are many advantages to wearing gothic prom gowns, but there are also some disadvantages worth noting, so let’s take a quick look…

When we think about goth style, we tend to think of the music genre, with black clothes and hair white make up and heavy eyeliner, but in fact if we replace the word ‘goth’ with ‘gothic’, then we open up a whole new wardrobe.

The gothic look is a combination of elegance, romance and fantasy, so an advantage in wearing a gothic prom gown is that you can encapsulate these ideas to get a stunning look.
The tightly fitted mid-drifts with flowing skirts will get you noticed for sure, and people will be looking twice.

It also feels great – gothic uses a lot of silks and velvet, very smooth materials, lovely to feel against the body.

The gothic prom gowns look can be intimidating, sexy, or playful, so you need to make sure that your hair, make up and choice of bag reflect your decision.

You could have your hair in a classic up and held ballgown style, and accessorise it with bats or spiderweb for a fun goth look.
A more serious gothic prom gowns look

would probably have black hair, straight down.

Make up wise, you have the obvious white pasty look, with heavy black eyeliner and lipstick, or you could go for the glittery look if you want to be more lighthearted.

One accessory that comes free is the expression on your face, and again this may well be the ultimate factor in the image that people take away of you.

If you want to make people smile, choose your shoes and accessories accordingly, and smile yourself!
