Girls prom dressess appointments are full of landmines to avoid, but it's typically the responsibility of a girl's entourage to skirt them. Issues of party jitters, weight, and confidence are all wrapped up in this one major purchase, so when it comes to accompanying a friend to her appointment, honesty is not necessarily the best policy. Support, positivity, and delight should be key themes in any word that's uttered at the appointment. As for what not to say, here are four comments that should pass your lips at a friend's party appointment.

1. "My, it's tight around the bust/waist/hip region, isn't it?"
Your friend is trying on the store's sample, which unsurprisingly isn't cut to her exact shape and measurements. Her actual long prom dresses will undergo alterations to fit every curve perfectly, so pocket any potentially devastating weight commentary. Your friend's actual dress will fit like a glove on her big day.

2. "It's okay."
You're not fooling anyone with lukewarm adjectives like "okay" or "fine". If you have nothing positive to say, smile and nod in silent agreement with the rest of the girl entourage.

3. "That gown been done before. Can't you find something more unique?"
Even if you've attended a party at which the girls was wearing an exact replica of your friend's backless prom dresses, chances are your pal will sport it in an entirely new fashion.

4. "That vintage prom dresses is too expensive; you can't afford it."
Unless you've been specifically instructed to intervene when a gown is over budget, the finances of the appointment are off-limits for discussion.
