While searching for the perfect plus size prom dresses, here are some tips to keep tucked in the back of your mind.

Take mental inventory of the styles you love, whether you've been pinning delicate, puffy sleeves straight out of Bridgerton all year long or you're finding yourself constantly gravitating towards high-neck styles that feel mysterious and cool. Next, write out a list of features you're looking for in your dream prom dress — maybe your must-have is deep pockets, a skirt that flows when you twirl, or a dress style that offers more coverage in the back.
