Answer #1

I’m short and have tan skin too.. I found that I really like the way I look in blues, dark green, yellow, light pink, and dark purple..

as for length, I got a big princess dress that went to the floor, but I wore heels so I didn’t look super short.. if you want to look taller, either get a bell-shaped dress and wear heels or just wear a short dress that kinda of bells out maybe.. I find I look really good in short dresses, because they make my legs appear to be longer, but I really wanted a princess dress for prom, so I just wore heels and looked taller :)

I don’t think I’d wear a white dress just because that’s the color of baptsim, communion, and wedding dresses and feel like you should wear a fun color to prom instead, but light colors will definitely look best though like a yellow or a pink or a light green, but dark green and dark purple and black look good too.. also, I look pretty good in dark brown, but definitely no light brown or tan, because then, it’ll just flush you out because it’ll match your skin too much, ya know?

hope this helps! good luck! and have fun at prom!

Answer #2

I light a light toned dress would look amazing on you, perhapz if you’re brave enough even a white dress. Deffinatly go for a short one though since you’re short you want to emphasise your assets, like you’re legs show them of to be briliantly tanned and a short dress will make them look longer . :) x

Answer #4

Definitely blue.

Remember there is a shade of blue color for every skin type.

However, I would suggest you to wear either white or red. It will look really hot on your tan skin.
