Dress To Impress – Prom Dress Styles For You

Leave a comment

The prom dress is one of the most important aspects of any prom. Most young girls will agree that you only have one chance (unless you’re lucky enough to be asked to someone else’s prom) to impress. The prom has been the most anticipated day in a high school senior’s life; maybe a close second to graduation, so choosing the right dress is very important.

The great thing about prom dress styles is that there are so many styles to choose from. Many of these girls can get inspiration form just about any runway, movie, magazine or celebrity. Even though this is the prom and you will do just about anything to have the most impressive dress at the event, you still need to choose a dress that suits your body type. If you are short, a knee-length prom dress can do you justice while taller slim girls look great in long or short dresses. Luckily, there is an array of popular dresses, so the majority of girls find something more than suitable.

Bright colors and patterns are very popular amongst teens but many still prefer softer pastel tones. Strapless dresses look good with any body type, but a halter neck can also be very beautiful. Slits were very stylish in the early 1990’s, but today have fallen out of favor, and this is a style that should be avoided.

 

Prom Dress Styles – Hollywood Edition

Great prom dress ideas can also be taken from motion pictures. While seeing a dress on one of your favorite celebrities, you should really be able to see if you like the style of the dress or not. The majority of dresses seen on screen can be found in stores, so the need to hire a dressmaker to recreate these designs is not necessary.

“High School Musical” is one of today’s most popular films among teens. Not only does its catchy music have us singing along, but the films adorable stars have caught our attention. With “High School Musical 3’s” theme being based on a prom, the prom dress designs from the movie have inspired many prom goes and has become one of the most popular prom dress styles requested. The actresses in the movie are known for their knee length dresses with some of the freshest colors out there. They come with or without straps and flare out from the waist. Cute and adorable they complement most body types.

Who could forget Kate Hudson in her yellow long satin dress in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” or Rachel Leigh Cook’s prom dress in “She’s All That.” But it is not always the celebrities on screen dresses that have young teens copying their styles. The majority of prom dress styles and inspirations are taken from what movie stars are wearing on the red carpet. With the most popular design on the red carpet being evening gowns, many young ladies are opting for long, body hugging satin dresses with diamante embellishments or the classic Cinderella dresses that flare out. These dresses do have beautiful designs and show maturity and sophistication.

Many high school aged girls these days are wearing prom dresses that are far too revealing. Attached to the body with double-sided tape and exposing just about every piece of skin on your body is a look for our tinsel town daredevils and is not really appropriate for a prom. Not only do some of these dresses look trashy, many of them are almost impossible to keep together. Chances are you will spend the evening making sure you don’t lose your dress altogether.

 

From the Runway to the Magazines to…You?

Choosing to recreate a dress off the runway for your prom can be very daring. Although you will be sure to have the latest trends it is not always a good idea.

When deciding to go this route, make sure you choose something that is wearable and will not get a lot of bad stares. A very simple dress can really bring out your beauty. You want to be remembered for how great you looked, not how ridiculous.

Some designers choose to make statements and they use the runway as a platform to be creative. However, there are designers that do create dresses that are appropriate for proms and do set the up and coming trends. Just be careful not to get confused between the two.

Magazines are also a great place to get ideas for a prom dress. Some of the most popular dress styles are taken from fashion magazines such as Vogue, Seventeen Magazine and Elle. They will usually display designs that are trendy at the moment, will be trendy very soon, or possibly retro styles that are still in. You will also get an idea of what not to wear. Even supermodels can look bad in some dresses.

Colors Tips And Ideas On Your Bridesmaids Dresses

Leave a comment

This article gives the bride color tips and ideas on what she might like for her bridesmaids dresses.I have a few suggestions below. You may want to present these to your attendants and see which ones they like best. Any combination will work. You’ve chosen a monochromatic color scheme so any lightness or darkness of purple is acceptable.

Dress your bridesmaids in lavender and your Maid/Matron of honor in plum. I did this at my wedding. Our colors were silver and light blue. I wore a white dress with silver and light blue accents. My bridesmaids were in light blue while my Maid and Matron of honor were in a dark silver. You could also, conversely, put your bridesmaids in plum and the maid/matron in lavender. However, it is generally more popular to dress the maid/matron in a darker color so as to contrast the bride better.

Dress them all in lavender with plum sashes or accents. The accents may be shawls, wraps, or ribbons. Many brides who choose this route also have ribbons of the accents in their bouquets and the attendants’ bouquets.

Dress them in plum dresses with lavender bouquets. You may also want to include lavender accents. Since the lavender is on your dress, you definitely want it to be more of a secondary color than the plum. So if you do dress them all in plum, you need to make sure the lavender definitely stands out as well.

I advise against dressing them in patterned dresses or dual-tone dresses. This will make your wedding party look too busy since your dress already has a floral pattern. Stick with elegant but non-ornate dresses for your attendants. I personally would go with either the 1st or 2nd suggestion.

Taffeta is rarely found in bridesmaid dresses, this is because it’s a very luxurious fabric and to be honest, it’s likely to stand out more than the bride!

You’re looking more at high street retailers which only stock ‘fashion’ colors. You’ll be paying a little extra but it’s worth going to bridal stores as they will have the color selections all year round. They usually have all styles available in all colors too, so you should find something you like.

Forever yours & Romantic also have chocolate brown in their collection. Most designers have bridesmaid ranges these days.All the designers have stockiest lists on their websites so you can find the nearest store to you. You’ll usually find galleries as well so you can have a browse at some of the different styles they have.

Plum & silver sounds lovely! Silver accents would be lovely on your plum dresses. If you go for another color, it can over-complicate the look. As silver is the ‘accessory’ color (this means its the color used to complement your main color, which is used in hints) then it would be very suitable.

What you have suggested sounds lovely! I can especially picture these dresses in chiffon. Organza can be quite stiff, the cheaper organza has a shimmer to it and it makes it look cheap!

Despite it being the evening, it’ll still be light so the tangerine sounds like s good compromise. Very zesty!

Do be warned – please try this color and T length style on your bridesmaids as it doesn’t suit everyone.
Your bridesmaids would really need to be tall for the length as it can stunt shorter ladies.

Tangerine is a lovely color but can wash out some complexions – also if any of your bridesmaids are larger they may well end up looking literally like a tangerine!

If tangerine is too severe then try a more peachy orange instead. It’s softer and kinder to complexions and will look very elegant in chiffon. Lemon or sunshine yellow is a lovely color as well, believe it or not. Along with a golden tan (fake or otherwise!) it simply glows.

Long, flowing drapes and gentle scallop frills are very much in this year and will look super on your bridesmaids. If you have larger bridesmaids then the styles with the folds / roaches across the waist draw the waist in and make for a shapely figure. There is some lovely t-length styles lovely peachy color. This color is really lovely and is one of the colors I’d recommend as an alternative to tangerine.

I had my bridesmaids wear black floor length gowns for my wedding in the middle of May simply because I had my heart set on a very formal wedding!! Needless to say, it turned out looking beautiful. Whatever color of style of dresses you choose for your girls, the pictures will no doubt turn out great. Go with what you imagine being the perfect look or you may regret it down the line and wish you had gone with your tangerine dresses.
