Find a Dress

Start shopping about a month before Homecoming to find the perfect dress. Many girls go with their mothers and best girlfriends. Dresses are usually very formal and can be a cocktail dress or a gown.

Purchase Accessories

This includes a purse, shoes, jewelry, and even hair clips to complement the dress.

Find a Date

Girls who go with boys to the dance will generally have the date lined up weeks in advance. The boy will usually find a suit or a shirt that corresponds to the colors of the girl's dress.

Make Appointments

Make your hair, nail and limo appointments early. Remember to order a boutonniere or corsage. Complete the order form for formal pictures.

Homecoming Day Plans

Girls will start to get ready for the Homecoming dance around noon. They will have hair appointments in the early afternoon, meet with friends, put on the dress, go to dinner and then go to the dance.
