"Here comes the bride" isn't quite here yet, but us girls have plenty of opportunities to get all dolled up for a night of our dreams. Prom was one of my favorite things I experienced in High School, and I wish so badly I could do it again. Luckily, my next "Here comes the bride" moment will be when I'm walking down the aisle!
Prom isn't for another few months yet, but if you are anything like I was, you have been looking since September. It's always a "race" to find the perfect, most elegant looking dress. I wanted to supply High School girls with a few ideas so they don't feel so stressed out if they decide to procrastinate until the week before. When I went to prom, two-piece dresses were just becoming noticed, sparkles were "in," and the more skin, the better, but I'm more, modest I guess you could say.
Beading Tiers Ballgown
I absolutely LOVE this style of a dress. I think the tiers really give the dress definition. Everyone that loves dancing knows straps are not necessarily cute, but super important when it comes to shakin' it all night long. Purple isn't the worst of colors either.
Sheri Hill Satin
Let me just begin by saying I think this pattern is absolutely heinous. The style however, is very elegant looking. Straps, again, are very helpful with dancing. The slimming waistline helps the "princess" skirt pop out.
Fitted Strapless Mermaid
This dress is probably one of my favorite styles. I believe the fitted style dress has potential to fit everyone nicely. The mermaid style accent towards the bottom balances out the fitted-feel so you're not walking around like a penguin all night.
Peek-A-Boo Gown
If you're not into a full two-piece, or strapless gown, there is an alternative for you. This peek-a-boo style dress offers both a modest, and sexy feel to it.
Sleeved Gown
Sleeves have snuck their way back into the hearts of dress-wearers, but I'm not sure which type of "sleeve" is most attractive for me.
First, there is the full sleeve:
Second, there is the t-shirt style sleeve:
Third, there is a see through sleeve:
And fourth, the drop sleeve:
Open BackThe key-hole back gives a very "old-fashioned" look.
Hopefully I've given you a few optional ideas to wear this year for prom. Now all you have to worry about is the color, shoes, jewelery, flowers, a date and every other small worry that goes through your head prior to prom. Good thing I took care of one worry huh?
