Fashion Prom Dress Styles

March 29, 2012 by Pam Maynard

Prom dress styles can vary according to different necklines, backs, waistlines, skirt designs, dress lengths, fabrics, and embellishments. When you combine all the above aspects with your body shape and unique personality, you will find the prettiest fit for your prom dresses. Here are some tips to pick the perfect prom dress styles for you.

Neckline

  • V-neck is great for all figures and can be different widths or lengths based on your specific requirements.
  • A plunging neckline is perfect for you if you have an attractive bust.
  • A halter neckline is a good choice if your shoulder is wide.
  • A wrap neckline is really tasteful and amazing for a prom dress.
  • The one-shoulder neckline is glamorous.
  • A strapless sweetheart neckline is fabulous if your breast is pretty and a shawl can add a feminine element if necessary.

Back

  • Mid back is very popular for the cultivated graceful girls.
  • Low-back and very low-back styles are ideal for open, bold, and cutting-edge girls with nice backs.
  • Lace-up back, sheer back, and strappy back are the prettiest fits if you want to show off a sexy back but not reveal your excessive skin.

Waistline

  • A-line and empire waistline suit for all body shapes, particularly the pear shape.
  • A Basque waistline can narrow your waist.
  • A low waistline can elongate your upper body if your waist is short.
  • A sheer waist and cut-out waist can add an oomph touch.

Skirt design

  • A draped skirt is a great choice for a full, shapely figure.
  • High-low skirts flatter girls with slim legs.
  • Mermaid is a tailored style for girls with hourglass body shape and makes you look beautiful when dancing.
  • The trumpet gives a flowing feeling to a tea-length or floor-length prom dress.
  • Tiers/layers work well with prom dresses made by chiffon and silk.

Dress length

  • Knee length is perfect for various stylish prom dresses regardless of personality and body shape.
  • T-length halter prom dresses made by taffeta or silk are classic and elegant.
  • Floor-length dresses create a sophisticated appearance. Moreover, floor length goes well with mermaid and empire silhouettes and is ideal for tall and slim girls.

Fabrics

Fabrics that can express the feeling of youth and vitality are great for prom dresses.

  • Chiffon and floral print fabric dresses are breezy.
  • Lace styles can show off your sexy figure perfectly.
  • The mermaid prom gown made of satin is fantastic.
  • Iridescent, metallic and triacetate are also great for prom dresses.

Embellishments

Well-designed prom dresses with appropriate ornaments will make you outstanding.

  • Sequins, glitter, and jewels can draw attention with their flashes under light.
  • Lace and sheer embroideries are always attractive for their sexy look.
  • Bows, belts, sashes, and flowers were born to add a feminine touch.

How to Pick the Perfect Prom Dress

When everything is ready, don’t forget to select the right color. Shades like powder blue, spring green or red are great for you girls. Stay away from colors like brown and gray, as your beauty will be hidden in these cool tones. Skip the black if you can’t make sure that your prom dress has a unique design with stunning embellishments.

Always try on your prom dress that you want to buy before you make your purchase. Does it fit well? Does it look nice? Is it too short? Are you comfortable with the length? Do you have shoes that will match the dress? What about your hair? Does it look good with the color? If you feel uncomfortable in the dress, you need to keep shopping.
