Various Types of Prom Dress


A stunning dress is essential for any young lady attending a prom. Every girl wants to look and feel good in the dress that she selects. Prom dresses come in many styles, from long and elegant to short and flirty and various styles in between. Deciding on just one ideal prom gown out of the many designs that are available can be quite confusing. Be sure to select a prom dress that is not only fashionable, but also fits your personality and body type.
Bodice Types
Surplice prom dress bodices create striking hour-glass figures and accentuate all body shapes and sizes. Surplice bodices cross-wrap the midriff in the front or back and secure the waist while putting focus on the bust line and hips.

If your waist is your favorite body part to highlight, consider looking for a dress with an empire waist. An empire waist gathers beneath the bust, draws attention to your middle, and creates a loose flowing fit for the hips and lower end.

Prom dresses with halter bodices are glamorous and perfect for showing a bit of skin in a sophisticated manner. Halter bodices are sleeveless and backless; they are usually secured around the neck with an embellished necklace-like piece or thin strap of fabric.

Hemlines
Mid-length prom dresses can be just as elegant, fashionable and appealing as longer gowns. If you like to show off your lower legs and have nice calf muscles, a full-skirted dress that falls right above or just at the knee can be a good dress choice. The mid-length dress is a flirty, graceful dress type that is flattering for most ladies.
Prom dresses with asymmetrical cuts are trendy, stylish and fashion-forward. Asymmetrically hemmed dresses are great for ladies that are interested in showing off their legs in a discreet, yet fancy way. Dresses with asymmetrical hems can have drastic cuts that reveal from as high up as the thigh, while others subtly flaunt the legs from above the knees or the calf area.

Embellishments
Prom dress embellishments can definitely add elegance to even the most basic dress designs. Embellishments are most frequently placed close to seams, in areas including the neckline, bust line and oftentimes the midriff area. The use of simple silver and gold ornamental patterns, flower shaped flourishes and colorful sequins are popular prom dress embellishments and add fashionable accents to all dress styles and body types.

Fabrics
One of the most important components to your prom dress is the fabric. Beyond style, you should make sure that the fabric of your dress is not only appealing to the eye but comfortable to wear as well. Avoid fabrics that will aggravate your skin. Select a dress with fabric that will allow you to move freely and will not cause you to feel overly warm.
Although fabrics including lace and intricately beaded gowns can be very cute, they can rub against the skin and easily cause irritation. Prom dresses that are made with stretchy fabrics will enable you to be more comfortable during all activities throughout the night.
Shimmering satin and metallic fabrics are trendy, glamorous and attention-grabbing. Metallic fabrics are usually lightweight, silky and do justice to all body types. Chiffon, stretch satin, stretch mesh and silk blends are not only pleasant looking, but are elegant, comfortable and flow nicely on all shapes and sizes.
