This season, matric dresses are going heavy on embellishment. Go for a dress that has a highly embroidered or beaded (not both) bodice and a simple, fuss-free skirt, short or long.

As a general rule of thumb for your matric dance dress, you want to be strategic when it comes to baring skin. For example, if your dress is short, you want to go for a high neckline and if your dress is long, it’s okay to go for a strapless number…you get the idea.
