How to Choose Simple Elegant Prom Dresses

Prom is a pivotal milestone in a young woman’s life.  Key to that milestone is the choice of the perfect but simple elegant prom dress.  Unlike any other dress, with the exception of a wedding gown, this dress will be memorialized in the photographic history of her life.  It is a lot of pressure.  Here are some ways to be sure that you choose a simple but elegant prom dress that is perfect for your body type.

Full-Figured

A simple but elegant prom dress is easy to find for the young woman with a full or curvy body style.  Choose a prom dress in a solid dark shade.  Darker shades are slimming. A haltered neckline is very flattering for this body type.  Dress length can be either full length or just below the knee. Look for simple lines; avoid flounce and a lot of excess material, but don’t have it too tight – this only emphasises any minor imperfactions.  Using these guidelines you can’t miss, when choosing the perfect elegant and simple prom dress.

Tall and Lean

If you are tall, you can easily be the bell of the ball, by choosing a short length dress.  Shorter dresses reduce the appearance of height.  Don’t be afraid to choose a dress with lots of details or ruffles.  On you, these prom dresses appear simple and elegant.  Another good option for you is a dress with an asymmetrical hemline.

If you are thin, you will want to shy away from solid colors and look for gowns with patterned fabric.  Patterned fabrics add weight to you visually.  You may also want to consider a prom dress that gathers at the hip (ruching), as this style, gives the illusion of curves.  With just these few limitations, you are sure to find the perfect prom dress.

Petite

If you are petite, the silhouetted-hugging, sheath-style dress is a simple elegant prom dress choice for you.  You can wear either solid shades or patterns.  Avoid dresses with very full skirts, as they tend to overwhelm the visual.  Whether you choose off the shoulder, backless, or a plunging neckline, you are sure to find a simple but elegant prom dress that will wow everyone.

Prom is a milestone night.  It represents an emerging into the adult world. Make the preparation for the night as memorable as the night itself.  Armed with these few simple guidelines to find the perfect dress, you can have a wonderful time trying on and buying the dress that is perfect for you.  And 30 years from now, you’ll still be proud of the way you looked in that dress.

Short Elegant Prom Dresses: Forging a New Tradition

It’s a new generation out there and they are making their mark.  This year young women in high school are changing the look of prom.  More and more young women are choosing short elegant dresses for prom.  Thirty percent of all prom dresses this year sport knee or above lengths.

What Teens Think

Longer doesn’t mean fancier to most teen women.  Formal can mean a short and elegant prom dress, as well as the more traditional long dresses. Many say they feel more comfortable in shorter dresses and that elegant but short prom dresses are easier to dance in.  And while image is huge at prom, it is equally important to have fun and freedom of movement.

Most teens believe that there is a perfect dress for everyone and every body type. However, not every body type looks good in a long dress.  And besides, they say, prom as a tradition is maintained whether or not you wear a long dress.  And they are not so crazy that they would accept someone at prom in jeans and flip-flops.

What Parents Think

Parents are of mixed opinion on the issue of short elegant prom dresses.  Some see the change as positive.  It’s a different world, they say, why shouldn’t teens change it up a bit.  Parental defenders of the short but elegant prom dress say that is just plain practical. And besides, they add, what’s important is that the prom dresses be elegant, not necessarily whether they are long or short.

On the other hand, detractors, say that long dresses are the tradition as opposed to short elegant prom dresses.  It is exactly the length of the dress and the formality that separates this dance for all the others in high school.  Also, they say, long dresses reinforce the concept ofwhat is acceptable formal wear and what is not.  It is not always up to the attendee.  Marking occasions with special attire is part of the ritual.

Long or short both parents and young women agree that prom dress need to be simple and elegant to honor the occasion and mark the rite of passage the event represents.  While short but elegant prom dresses are becoming increasingly popular, parents and teens need to take other things into consideration as well.  For instance, does that prom have a theme this year?  What are the colors?  If the prom has a Victorian theme for instance, a short dress would not be appropriate.  Whatever you choose, do it carefully, because pictures last foreverand so do memories.

Long Elegant Prom Dresses: A Tradition for All Generations

It’s prom season–a time for young women in long elegant prom dresses and young men in tuxedos.  It’s a time for dinner out and long limousine rides – a time for young men and women to make a pivotal step into adulthood.  Yet recently there’s been a lot of hoopla on high school campuses regarding prom dresses.  It really all comes down to a matter of personal perspective.  Are long elegant prom dresses the only choices, or can young women today choose between long and short dresses as long the dress is  elegant and suitable for formal wear?

What Teens Think

Some young women think of long prom dresses not as elegant, but as somber and dated. They say that long dresses can encumber their ability to dance and have a good time. Still other teens say that length does matter at prom.  The length of the dress it what distinguishes a prom dress from a winter formal dress or other dresses for high school dances.  To these teens, the prom wouldn’t be the prom without a long and elegant prom dress.

What Parents Think

Many parents agree that long and elegant prom dresses are the tradition.  Prom, they say, is a long-held tradition, one that should be maintained at the highest level.  To these parents, the length of the dress influences behavior.  Not overtly, they say, but on some subliminal level.  Long elegant prom dresses, they believe, promote more subdued behavior.

Other parents support the young women’s right to choose.  If their teen feels more comfortable in a short but elegant prom dress, then so be it.  They argue that each generation makes its mark on the culture – perhaps short prom dresses will be one of the marks made by this generation.  The tradition, these parents say, is the prom itself.  What they want for their young women is for them to be safe and beautiful and to have an extraordinary enjoyable time.

The issue of long elegant prom dresses or shorter versions of the same will not be resolved this season.   Like any cultural fashion change, it will evolve over several seasons.  So for now, look for a dress that flatters the teen’s body type.  Choose colors that are appropriate for both the young women and the prom theme.  And remember that research shows that what both parents and teens agree on, is that prom dresses are only one part of an amazing event.

Finding a Cheap Elegant Prom Dress

In the eyes of many girls, the most exciting event in the lead-up to prom night is hunting for the perfect dress. Unfortunately, however, the dress is more often than not the most expensive part of prom night. The attitude of “the more expensive the dress, the nicer it is” can be hard to escape. It is still possible though, to find cheap and elegant prom dresses if you have a strict budget to stick to. If you keep the following ideas in mind, you needn’t have to wear a super-expensive number to look stunning on prom night.

Look Online

If you don’t have any qualms about wearing a dress that someone else may have worn before you, eBay is well worth a look. Huge discounts are more the rule than the exception, even with dresses that haven’t been worn before. Finding the exact color and style you’re looking for is also much less of an issue online than when searching stores. This is because of the sheer volume of dresses available for sale or auction. It’s certainly much easier (and cheaper!) looking for a cheap and elegant prom dress online – and knowing you’re likely to find what you’re after – than it is to traipse through dress shop after dress shop, never quite sure if you’ll find the dress.You can always personalise( and alter the lok) with accessories and/or minor alterations.

Check Out Second-Hand Stores

Many people associate second-hand stores with sub-standard, out-of-fashion clothes – but increasingly, that is far from the case.In fact many people buy from second hand shjops just because they can then afoerd to buy better quality than they would be able to afforrd new.  Many second-hand stores stock cheap and elegant prom dresses, and do not put on them sale unless they are of a high quality. Aside from the obvious cost benefits, second-hand stores can be among the best places to look if you’re after a dress that’s striking and unusual. From long, elegant prom dresses that catch the eye to vintage pieces from yesteryear, you never quite know what you’ll find in second-hand stores.

Get It Made

If you know someone who’s a keen sewer and willing to offer their assistance, it may be worth buying the fabric and getting them to make it for you. Aside from having your prom dress made exactly how you want it, you can also save yourself quite a lot of money. Even taking labor costs into account, a stunning and elegant prom dress will be cheap when compared with how much you’d have paid to buy it off the rack. The biggest issue with getting a dress made, of course, is finding the perfect fabric. If you’re willing to do a bit of bargain hunting – in department stores, fabric stores or even online – the variety available is staggering. Always have at least a vague idea of the color, look and style you’re after and this part will be much easier.

If you know what to do and where to look, finding cheap and elegant prom dresses doesn’t have to be like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. Even on a budget, you can still look like the belle of the ball. These ideas are only a start; there are plenty of other ways to look gorgeous on a budget that are only limited to your imagination.
