It may seem daunting while looking at a rack of prom dresses like this one in Sue Wong's showroom, but the designer gives her advice on finding the most figure-flattering frock like this: "Women concerned with their thighs should select an A-Line gown that is fitted at the bust and naturally tapers out. Women who want more coverage on their chest can select a style with a high neckline and a plunging or illusion back, for a look that is still young and sexy, while affording more coverage. Finally, for those women who are concerned about their arms, a properly tied shawl draped over the arms and tied in the back can serve as an elegant cover-up that is much more graceful than a jacket or cardigan."
