How to look your best for this classic, school-leaving event 

Every girl wants to look her best for her Matric dance. The first step to looking amazing on the big day is to find the perfect dress that you not only love, but that also suits your body type and personality. 

In fbo’s online and physical outlet stores, you can find the dress that you love without any fuss or frustration. We recommend chatting to one of our knowledgeable and friendly sales assistants if you are not sure where to begin as they can point you in the right direction and make some great suggestions for you. 


Try and choose a dress in a colour that suits your complexion and brings out your natural beauty. Bright and bold colours are trendy at the moment so be brave and go bold or select a classic black number and you won’t go wrong.

Once you have decided on a colour, you will need to think about the style of dress you want. If you are short or petite dresses with shorter skirts are ideal but if you do want to wear a long dress, opt for one that gently hugs the body with a stunning stiletto heel.

Taller girls look amazing with long, flowing, and full skirts, or shorter dresses. 

If you are self-conscious about a certain area in your body, take this into account when choosing your dress. Opt for a fabric that lightly skims the area so that you look great and feel confident. 

How to shop for the perfect fitting dress

Most girls already know their dress size, but you should note that sizes vary from brand to brand. At fbo, we stock an extensive range of brands, and what is a size 32 may be a size 30 with another brand. International brand sizes also vary between regions. I.e. UK vs Europe. It is always best to try and fit your outfit. 

Our trained sales assistants can assist you to determine your dress size and then point you in the right direction when it comes to the best size dress for your body type. Simply talk to one of them and they would be delighted to help you! 

Don’t forget to accessorise!

Your accessories can make or break your outfit so be sure to choose them wisely. 

At fbo, you will find a wonderful collection of beautiful shoes to complement your Matric dance outfit.

Whether you like to shop online or in one of our spacious outlets, you will find stunning shoes, clutch handbags, jewelry, and more to make your Matric dance outfit pop and look unique.
