Budget-Friendly Prom Tips from Dubai Designers

Preparation for the graduation evening is a special moment in the lives of students, which is why Filipino designers do everything possible to make every child feel confident and radiant. For those with a limited budget, custom dresses and costumes are offered as an excellent option.

"A small pouch with essentials like safety pins, double-sided fashion tape, mini stain remover, and hairpins can save the day," Aaron Eacatron Cadenas shared. His advice emphasizes that true style is not just about what you wear, but also about how ready you are to enjoy every moment.

Choosing the right outfit can make you feel like the best version of yourself on one of the most memorable nights of your school life.

"When it comes to shoes, comfort is just as important as style. The best shoes are the ones that allow you to dance confidently," Aaron noted.

Continuing the theme of comfort, he also suggested bringing a mini first-aid kit to keep your look pristine. For boys, stylish loafers in suede or leather can be a perfect alternative to sneakers.

Aaron believes that the best outfit should allow the student's personality to shine through while still being confident and stylish ahead of family and friends.

"If you need a sparkling touch, choose attire with sequins or beads in moderation, like a leaf or sleeve."

Bold colors take a back seat, while pastel shades trend, such as light pink, light yellow, and blue.

When it comes to age-appropriateness of outfits, models recommend dresses in midi length to floor length with a decently-heart-shaped, quadrilateral, or asymmetrical hemline, made from light fabrics like chiffon and tulle.

"Mikado-Atlas is a great choice for evening attire, designers, and wearers. Some even choose embellished fabrics for a festive effect," noted Migs.

Harmonizing comfort, budget, and style — that's the key to a flawless and stylish look at the graduation evening. Regardless of whether you order an outfit or find something off-the-rack, it’s important to prioritize comfort, individuality, and confidence.
