How To Run A Fashion Show For Prom Dresses

A fashion show intended to showcase prom dresses is different from an ordinary high street fashion show. Not only will it long red dress take much longer for models to get into their outfits (which rules out quick changes) but the value and delicacy of the items means that a great deal of care needs to be taken.

Timing your show

You need to allow around two minutes per model. This is enough time to walk down the catwalk, pose and walk back down the catwalk.

In terms of back stage timing you need to allow ten minutes for a girl to get a dress on for which she will need at least one helper.

Boys

If you can, its great to have male models accompany your female models down the catwalk. A local hire company may be willing to lend you plus size a line dresses suits if you give them a call.

Announcer

Ask someone with good presenting skills to compere the show. Their role will be to announce the name of the model and give a commentary about the dress that they are wearing. For example 'This is Amy, she is wearing Bella, one of our pink prom dresses. This dress features stunning genuine crystal beading with a flowing tulle skirt'.

You should provide your compere with a script for each model/dress. This script should be organised in the same running order as the show.

Music

You should choose music which is both popular with the students in the show and appropriate for the occasion. Pay attention to the bpm (beats per minute) of the music. Your models will walk in time to the music and if the beat's too fast they may end up half jogging down the catwalk (ruining your timings!).

Vet all music before strapless evening dresses hand to ensure that it doesn contain expletives.

Walk Through

It a good idea to have a walk though of your fashion show. While it is common to do a full dress rehearsal (wearing all the outfits), you should think carefully about doing this. Every time a prom dress is handled it runs the risk of being damaged. It is therefore not advisable to do a full dress rehearsal.

Backstage help

You will need at least one person to help when a girl is trying to get into her dress. If you can stagger the girls putting on their dresses then you won't need as many helpers.

You also need a stage manager and an assistant stage manager. Both of these people should have a clipboard with details of the order in which the girls will go down the catwalk.

The stage manager stands in the wings and is responsible for ensuring that the right people go on black club dresses stage at the right time.

It is there responsibility to make sure the girl starts putting the dress on in time and to make sure she is down in time. They need to be female so they can go into changing rooms.

Changing rooms

Ideally you need two rooms close to the stage. At least one needs to ensure privacy.

As prom dresses are worth hundreds of pounds each it is important to ensure they will not get damaged in the course of a fashion show.

One way to ensure that this doesn't happen is by ensuring that no food, drink or make up is allowed into the changing rooms. Only the girls themselves and people helping them to get ready should be allowed in the changing room.

Ask girls to take responsibility for dresses

Begin by explaining to the girls involved that they will be personally responsible for taking care of their dresses. Each girl should formally 'sign out' the dress when she takes it off the rack. At the end of the show, someone needs to be appointed to check the dresses back on to the rail. A girl's name should only be checked off the list when they have brought their dress back.

Enjoy it!

Running a fashion show can be great fun so finally, have a great time!

Today I receive an invitation from my boss, now I think you are wondering my job. In my college, my major is German, but after the graduation, I come back to my hometown, that is a small city. So I can’t find the job match my major, but people needs money to support themselves. At last I picked the job as an assistant. When I went to be interviewed in the company, at a glance I opened the door in cheap formal dresses I fell in love with my interviewer who is my boss. He is young, serious, professional and composed. For this reason, even if the salary is not high, I still have no hesitate to choose the company.

When I enter the company I began to assist his work, so we will spend almost every day together. Several days ago I have checked he is a single man. He really moved me, when I receive the invitation; it is a super surprise for me. But I don't know whether I should accept this invitation; because I don't want to let him think I am too frivolous, and women always have a problem, don't know which formal dress to wear. As a secretary, I don't know what the meaning of the activities is. Just invite his secretary as a dance partner to attend some formal occasions?

But for my happiness, I want to receive the invitation. So I scanned some for myself. This is a good chance for me to be a good helper for my love. Finally I choose a pure white dress among them, I am not a sexy girl with perfect figure, so I want to use my advantage to be the point. Maybe we can’t have a wedding, but I just want to enjoy every minute with the man now. Good luck for our happy day.
