Picture yourself at this year’s prom wearing a daring dress designed just for you. The lights go down, the spots come on and there you are, dancing the night away in a swirly dream of a dress that has every eye in the room focused on you. Are you thinking that there is no dress out there that you can afford that will turn heads? Imagine yourself in one of these dreamy styles and watch the night light up.
Fairytale Prom Gowns are making a big comeback this year. Swirling skirts of tulle sweep the floor, and strapless necklines show off your best features. Picture yourself in a classic Cinderella ball gown that sparkles in thoroughly modern turquoise or dazzles the eye in apple red. Playful details like wrap bodices and sequins at the bust put a playful, flirtatious spin on one of the most classic formal silhouettes of all time.
Find your Prints Charming in high-energy colors or high-contrast black and white. Prints are huge this year, both in popularity and in reality. The hottest styles for the spring 2009 prom season combine color and print to really stand out. What happens when you put together a bold zebra-inspired black and white skirt with a zap of pure apple green and a black bodice? You get a dress that turns heads and captures every eye in the room. If bold is not your style, pick out a watercolor floral abstract print that shimmers in silk charmeuse like a “watercolor in the rain”. So very impressionist, this is romantic and modern at the same time.
Be a force of nature in a shimmering Grecian-inspired look that’s flattering to every figure type. A fetching wrapped bodice with a subtle center drape plays with another classic silhouette and modernizes it for today’s prom. The metallic foil chiffon fabric shimmers in the night like moonlit clouds, and so will you.
Dazzle them with drama in a bold eye catching dress that combines black and white with a striking floral print to come up with a dress that’s totally now and totally you. A dramatic one-shoulder wrap bodice in solid black contrasts with Japanese-inspired floral print skirt, making a fashion-forward statement that struts your style on the dance floor.
Be a baby doll charmer in a demure and dramatic trapeze dress that’s some sugar some spice but very nice. The unusual look combines a high neckline with bare shoulders for a look that’s fetchingly innocent and devastatingly sexy at the same time. You will practically channel Audrey Hepburn in a classically inspired Holly Golightly baby doll dress that will definitely cause a commotion when they see the swingy hem and sparkly color.
Go for the glitzy glam with a red-carpet winner of a dress. The empire waistline and halter top styling flatters your figure while the flowing floor-length skirt lengthens your line for a slim silhouette. The glitz puts on the Ritz with sparkling crystal beadwork that adds vertical lines to create a dazzling dress that sparks up the night with pure glamour.
The devil is in the details and so is the style when you pick a dress with the hottest fashion details. What are the details that heat up the night this spring? Playful bubble hems and shirred bodices create a flirtatious, swingy look that stimulates attention. As for the longer dresses, look for pickup skirts and chiffon sashes to set off the main color of the dress. There is also a wide variety of colors so that you can pick the one that’s most flattering. Some of the most dramatic styles are available in up to 18 mouth watering colors like tangerine, apple, watermelon and candy pink.
Back up your fashion sense with sexy back styles that dare to be bare. Deep dipped waists and glittered sequined cross-over straps really show off your curves from the back. Other spectacular back looks include criss-cross corset ribbon styles and glimmer-edged keyhole openings that show off just enough skin to be drop-dead sexy.
The hottest hemline style this year is the high-low hemline, a scoop hemline that shows off those fabulous shoes by framing them in a smooth sweep of hem. Combine a sophisticated high-low hemline with chiffon shimmer and a beaded empire style waist and you should be the toast of the town. The sophisticated elegance of this style is available in 18 delicious colors like Latte, Truffle and Champagne.
So go on, dare to dream about your prom this year. Whether you go with the look of a fairy tale princess, a sophisticated socialite, or you decide to wear that adorable baby doll dress, this year’s fashions are all about you. Dive in and find the perfect dress for dancing the night away. Follow your dreams; choose a dress that you have only dreamt about.
Wanna know how to be a fashion expert? Well I have some tips for you that will help. These will make you known as the stylish girl in school.
] Steps
1. Do not follow the trend. Seriously. Get real. I mean do you really want to do what other people are doing? Do you seriously want to be mini-me? I didn't think so. Create your own trend. Something that fits you perfectly, something that you would be proud to be the creator of. It could something totally out of this world or it could be like they dressed back then. Whatever you want. Be your own fashion designer.
2. First you need to know all of the 'fashion lingo'. This will help and if your talking about clothes you won't sound stupid. Try some fashion books or search it up the internet. Either way DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
3. Create a totally cool outfit that looks and feels great. Use matching colors and patterns. When you buy your clothes make sure they fit. You don't want them to tight or to baggy. Also make sure they feel good. Don't buy them if they make you itchy or very uncomfortable. Make sure that you feel confident in the clothes. If all the requirments are good then buy it!
4. Create your own super special fashion journal. Cut out clothes or styles that you like and paste them into your fashion journal. Write down a couple of your favorite outfits and say how you feel in them.
5. Add accessories. From beads to earrings or rings to bracelets. You can add color and spunk to any outfit with accessories. Make sure that they match and they don't feel uncomfortable.
6. Do not spend tons of money of one item of clothing. You could always find something very similar to it for less money!
