•  Is the dress too revealing? You might need to get the dress final approval or make sure you invest in some body glue.

•  Choose the right bra to go with your funky prom dress. Incorporate funky here too.

•  Have your toenails and fingernails done funky too!

•  Don't forget the stockings. You can have a simple dress that turns in to instant funky with leopard, argyle or fishnet stockings.

•  Funky prom dresses make an entrance so if you don't want the attention better choose something else.

Wherever you find your funky prom dress make sure you do a final fitting days before to see if all the accessories, hose, jewelry and purse all work together. Funky prom dresses can be the best choice in a prom dress so good luck in your search.

Designers are in love with gold right now. You can find gold prom dresses wherever you go. The great thing about gold prom dresses is that there are so many styles available that you won't be showing up with a gold prom dress the same as someone else's. With the choices in gold prom dresses available you are bound to find the perfect match for you.

Some key points to picking the right prom dresses are:

•  Don't automatically assume that gold is not your color. With the range of styles gold is almost everyone's perfect color.

•  You can take simple gold prom dresses and change them dramatically with the right accessories. Everything from hosiery to jewelry can transform your dress into a verdant masterpiece. Many Alisha Hill shoes go perfect with gold dresses.

•  Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time for any last minute alterations. You don't want to be tripping over your hem all night.

•  Gold prom dresses work well with dark skin and pale skin so don't feel you have to go to a tanning bed before you wear your green prom dress. If you do make sure you try it out weeks before. If it doesn't suit you it won't be too late to let it fade away.

If you are in the market for an expensive prom dress you shouldn't have any problems finding what you are looking for here. We carry some very high quality gowns and designer labels. Expensive prom dresses don't have to be labeled as such. You can find any evening gown from a top designer to wear as a prom dress. Many Jovani styles that are labeled as evening or pageant wear will work very well for prom. The price is higher, but the quality is obvious when you put the dress on.

Even if you can't afford expensive prom dresses go ahead and take a look. You can get ideas for your own prom dress.

If you can't afford an expensive prom dress then check out our articles and links that provide information on everything you could ever want to know about prom dresses. Remeber that you can also sort our dresses by price.

Okay, so you're the type that likes to make a statement and your choice in prom dresses won't be any different. Exotic prom dresses can be found at many shops and on the Internet and many girls even design their own. An exotic prom dress for one might be tame for another; it's all a matter of style and taste. Exotic prom dresses come in every color and size imaginable.

Exotic prom dresses might bring to mind crazy fabrics or animals prints. A casual search of Ebay brings up dresses more appropriate to the bedroom but that is not the real meaning behind exotic prom dresses. Don't' confuse exotic with erotic; true fashion in the first, just lingerie in the second. Think instead of Oriental or Russian influences. When you think exotic prom dresses think of color and spice. Now if you are from the Orient than maybe an American dress is exotic to you. The point of exotic prom dresses is to have a bit of mystic, a tad bit of sexy and a lot of class.

To get examples of exotic prom dresses a good look through our shop is a great way to find one. Jovani and Terani both have several dresses in their collection that are exotic. If you can't find the exotic prom dress of your dreams than consider making one yourself. You can take either an existing dress and change it with exotic embellishments or start from scratch with your own fabric and pattern choices.

One of the most common and classic styles of prom dresses are halter prom dresses. If you have good shoulders and back then this is a great way to show them off. A halter prom dress can vary greatly in style from one dress to another so don't worry about them all looking alike. Halter prom dresses do have one thing in common, they usually have a lower neckline than other styles. If you don't want to show cleavage then look for a style with more of a cowl neck or drape in front. Remember some of the basic prom dress shopping tips when you look for the perfect halter prom dress.

•  Don't choose a fabric that is too clingy if you have body features you don't want to highlight. A looser drape can be more slimming and sexy.

•  Stay away from colors that too closely match your complexion. You will be lost in the dress.

•  If the halter prom dress you choose is revealing at all look into body glue to make sure you don't pull any Super Bowl mishaps.

•  Choose your accessories carefully so they not only match your gown but also complement it.

If you are worried about being too cold in halter prom dresses don't forget the gorgeous capes that are in fashion not to mention wraps, shawls and shrugs. If you plan on being tan for your halter prom dress be sure what ever method you choose is planned well in advance. You don't want to expose an orange tinted tan with a halter prom dress that shows it all.

When you want to say elegant you can't say it any better than with beaded prom dresses. There is just something so gorgeous about a beaded prom dress that other dresses seem to lack. Beaded prom dresses follow the same trends as the movie stars and other celebrities. The time and energy that goes into beaded prom dresses means you are getting a dress that is high quality.

When you go shopping for beaded prom dresses be sure to look for strong sewing and seams. You don't want to be dancing away on prom night and have beads go flying everywhere. Most beaded prom dresses come with a little bag with extra beads in case you do run into a problem like a snag that loosens the threads and you lose a few beads.

You shouldn't have any trouble in finding beaded prom dresses on this website. Make sure you shop allowing yourself plenty of time to get your dress and make any needed alterations before the big night.

Look for beaded prom dresses that have a minimum of beading in the derriere section of the dress. Although beautiful, beading in that area makes for uncomfortable seating.

Most proms are very formal although you might find a beach or other theme that will allow for a little bit of relaxed atmosphere. Prom formal wear is something that everyone will be shopping for at the same time so you will want to get the jump on everyone with information you have gained beforehand.

There are many types and categories of prom formal wear but the elegant prom formals are always a classic choice. When we were little girls we would dream of elegant prom dresses, knights in shining armor and the whole bit. Elegant prom formal wear has many advantages over everyday prom dresses. An elegant prom dress usually means a classic prom dress, which means they rarely go in and out of style. Prom formal wear for guys is getting more trendy and individualized. You can still keep your own sense of style but still go formal. Elegant prom formal wear for women can be found right here at this site. Browse the hundreds of prom dresses and you are sure to find one that fits your personal style.

within the year to get away with utilizing your fashion imagination to the
fullest and as a result, looking absolutely stunning. Best Prom Dresses is
here to assist in making your decisions for your Spring 2007 prom by
offering dresses from a variety of designers and designer lines, color
palettes, cuts, sizes, trends, and more.

Trends 2007:

The Dress

Whether you are attracted to Hollywood glam, elegant and formal, or
something in-between, prom 2007 is full of opportunity. This year’s trends
lie in styles that are ultra-feminine, flattering, stylish, and of course,
give an overall perfect fit.

Want to stand out? This spring is all about lustrous colors, bold prints, sparkle, and soft fabrics. 8849200 Be chic with dresses that have gathered material, accordion pleats, or ruffles. This will give you the dimension and silhouette you may be looking for. Still not enough? Go with classy rich and deep colors such as purples and pinks. 10628200 Need one last touch? Be sure to look for dresses with beads, gemstones, and jewels around necklines. This will surely give you a lasting and shimmering edge.

If you’re still not sure where to start or what you want, celebrity glamour is still a great option. Best Prom Dresses offers an array of dresses that have been reproduced from such stars as Kate Hudson, Mischa Barton, and Beyonce. Whatever your style, there is a perfect dress out there for you!

Short Dress

All little girls imagine a fantasy ball when they think of what their future prom might be like. All of the lovely girls will be dressed in beautiful gowns and dance with charming boys to the mellow sounds of a large band, much like one that would have played at Cinderella's ball. As we know all little girls must grow up sometime, and this means that their ideas and dreams will grow up a bit too. When a girl enters high school she realizes that not all boys are charming, and that the fantasy ball they all envisioned has become a bit modernized too. Some schools do not hire big bands to play classical ballads anymore, but hire DJs or new age rock bands. In some areas, there is an ever growing popularity with hip hop being played at prom too. So let me just ask you, how do you expect to get down to Ludicrous and Fergie wearing a dress so big that it barely fit into the limo you rolled up in? I mean let's be serious, it's a new time, with new music, and definitely new fashion! This is why I recommend that this prom season you consider showing a little leg with a comfortable and sexy short dress. Depending on where you live too, some of us here in the south will agree that comfort and mobility aren't the only reason to consider a shorter dress, because in the Spring/Summer it's just plain hot! Especially if you have a shorter physical build; a short cocktail style is a must. A couple of my favorites are the a)Jovani style b10835165 and the b)Terani style 45144. The Jovani style b10835165 is also very flattering to body types with large hips and thighs. Finish the look by adding some sparkle to your tootsies with a pair of open high heeled shoes/sandals like our c)Hilary by Alisha Hill prom shoes in silver for example. The heel will give the illusion of extra length in your legs. Now you will be ready to dance the night away without you or your date tripping all over your dress. A shorter dress is bound to leave an impression because it's fun, festive, and super hot (all while keeping you cool).

Hair Accessories to Die For Without Killing Your Bank Account

Okay we talk a lot about dresses, but now lets talk about hair! What is the perfect do for you on your very special night? Will you wear it up or down? Curly or straight? Braided or maybe even crimped if you are feeling retro. Whatever you choose, hair accessories are always a fabulous touch. Sparkly headbands and tiaras are nice. Just remember not to go overboard when wearing clear crystal rhinestones. A piece or even a few pieces can really add something great to your look, but too much can make you look like a chandelier. I encourage all of you to make prom the best night possible by getting all dolled up; starting from your toes (don't forget to paint those if you are wearing open toed shoes) all the way up to your head. A great hair accessory will be the cherry on the cake! Don't forget Alisha Hill prom shoes.

Black Tie Affair

Glitter and Sequins on a dress add some magic to the scene, but simple black and white never gets old. This year black is the new black! We have gotten some really fantastic styles this prom season that make black and white give the array of colored dresses out there a run for their money. These sassy styles have landed multiple spots in our Top Ten Prom Dress section, so if you haven't taken a peek; we recommend that you check them out. One of my favorites is the Jovani 8849200 prom dress. These black and white polka dots are very dramatic and with no doubt they make a statement. A new twist on a classic look is our Mischa Barton inspired celebrity tuxedo dress. This dress turned heads at the Vanity Fair post-Oscar party, and it is bound to do the same for you at your prom! While we have many other dichromatic gowns to gander at the last one I will mention here is Favana's classic 5926 prom dress. This dress has a full skirt and fitted bodice; perfect for those of you looking for that touch of whimsy and all around elegant appeal.

Bright is Right
Red, royal, fuchsia, orange, magenta, and green, all bright, vibrant colors, are big hits for prom 2007.
The season has just begun, but intense hues are having a big impact. These rich tones are usually seen in silk satin because silk dyes so beautifully. There is a bright, happy color that is right for every girl's coloring and this is a great year to wear one. These bright vibrant colors, often called jewel tones, are best when the cut is simple. You can choose sexy, elegant, clasic, or funky. all are great in eye-popping color.
Many of the best jewel-toned dresses have gold bead or rhinestone accents. We especially like the styles from Jovani that feature silk satin with liquid gold beading. Jovani prom style 10627 features a back open to the waist accented with 2 inch wide liquid gold crossed straps and gold banding around the waist. The gold liquid beads are a beautiful accent for the bright jewel-toned satin.
Jovani prom style # 10628 has a very wide band of liquid gold beading cinching the waist and midrif of a flowing high slit silk satin gown. The high slit in the bright satin skirt shows a flash of sexy leg and a sparkling gold shoe from Alisha Hill.
Niteline and Best Prom Dresses colaborate on a beautiful bright orange silk satin dress with gold bead and rhinestone trim outlining the sexy so low back.

Color, color, color! That's what it's all about. Knowing what color you look best in is a great way to start looking for prom dresses. This season the runway has given us a lot of different options to work with (that is, if you want to stick to the catwalk's opinion). We will be seeing silver grays, reds, blues, greens, golds, and purples. The strongest colors? Red, gold, silver, and blue all are brilliant this season.

Another fun trend for this prom season are short (cocktail) dresses. If you're comfortable with showing leg with minimal coverage, this is the direction for you!

Finally, a romantic themed dress is another great option. A romantic dress may incorporate either an empire or halter top bodice, exotic prints, and a full length skirt.

Still not feeling the trends? Not matter what, find a dress that you love and that feels right for you. We would like to suggest for you to go with a bejeweled neckline, but ultimately it's up to you and your fashion expertise.

So you've thought about your prom. You've started planning your color scheme. You've picked a few pre-prom restaurants for you and your date and /or group to dine at before the big event. Now prom is only weeks away and suddenly you realize that you forgot to set you r plans in stone! To your horror you realize that all of the best restaurants are booked solid, all of the local florists are out of your favorite flower, and the dresses left in malls and specialty stores are, well ... a little more than picked over.

What do you do?

Here are some ideas for quick remedies for near disaster proms. First, you can always find a great dress online! Grated many people order ahead of time, so supplies do run short in particular styles. The best thing to do is to check out the most popular dresses ordered from a site. Our page at www.bestpromdresses.com is entitled Top 10 Dresses. Most of the time popular dresses are ordered in abundance, so chances of having your size in stock and ready to ship quickly is likely and the hassle of having to place a special order is decreased significantly.

So you've got the dress! Now you can worry about those dinner reservations….

Choosing the length of a dress is one thing, but now let’s talk about the bust. While there are many different types of dresses that are different because of how they are fashioned from the waist down; what’s happening from the waist up can change the look drastically. Halter, strapless, or single strap. Plunge neck, heart-shaped bust, or high and straight; the combinations are limitless.

This year the halter has been taken to another level. Check out the Jovani 18050200 dress. With its jewel embellished triangular halter and goddess-like drape in the back you can guarantee that no one else will have a dress that even resembles yours this year at prom.

Jovani 18050200 dress and Faviana 5909 dress - Heidi Klum dress show us something else new and hott this season. Take it from Heidi; the single shoulder strap is fierce and sexy.

How low can you go? This low! Look at these gorgeous gowns Jovani Beyond b18086135 and Jovani Beyond b5311195 designed by Jovani that prove that showing more that just a little skin can still be elegant and sophisticated.

Whichever style you choose; don’t forget to accessorize with the appropriate undergarments. If your dress is cut low enough that even a strapless bra will be visible; fabric nipple covers are available at most lingerie stores. If you need a little lift or something to keep the dress in place; double sided fashion tape is also a good thing to buy.

Things NOT to do at prom

1. Don't wait to ask your prom date. No matter if the prom is 1 month away or 3 months away, ask your potential date out as soon as you are sure of it. It's better to have that person accept or deny your invitation so that you are sure of things and can start planning. Ladies, don't feel that you have to wait and be asked out! If you want a particular date, go ahead and ask that special someone.

2. Don't make a bad color choice. We talk a lot about color and how it's a good idea to go bright with your dress. There are, however, limitations. The most important thing is to make sure to pick the right color for you skin. It is by complementing your skin tone that the rest of your hard work and decisions will glow. Your prom pictures will also turn out great!

3. Length matters. Although this season is all about showing some leg, it isn't about having too high of a skirt or ending up with too long of a skirt. Make sure that you are comfortable with the length of your dress and take into consideration the height of your heels. It is better to get a dress that is longer than you like so that you may make alterations if need be.

4. Don't forget to accessorize. Accessories can definitely make your prom look completely stunning! It's your night to shine and here is your chance to do so. Do it with either earrings, a necklace, a bracelet, a hair piece, etc. Remember to not over do it, but have just enough to make yourself feel Hollywood glamorous.

5. Don't fight your locks. You know how it goes. Those who have curly hair want it straight and those that have straight hair want it curly. Not matter if yours is naturally curly or straight, you should style your hair accordingly. Since you can't mess with mother nature, why not enhance it?

6. Don't over style. Whether it be your hair or the choice of your dress and accessories, don't over do it. Too much of a good thing can turn bad. It may be important to you to be trendy and we agree, but having too many trends for one night out can be too much. Rather, pick one or two of your favorite spring trends and from there create a look of your own.

7. Don't forget your manners. Whether you want to believe it or not, manners and etiquette are highly important when it comes to prom and other social events of the such. You don't want to come across as rude or inconsiderate of others feelings. Most manners are common sense and are already instilled in you. If you are known for not being the most polite or orderly date, please review over a list of what to do and what not to do in a social outing.

8. Don't create prom drama. Prom does have its drawbacks and drama is one of its greatest. With prom, drama arises from dress to date choices and everywhere in-between. Don't be the one to stress it! If things really do get bad for you or your feelings get hurt, take a break and literally get some fresh air. Things will work out in the end even if they turn out to be completely different than imagined. You surely don't want to be remembered as the "drama momma" from prom 2007!

9. Don't be late! Prom night is definitely a night that everyone tends to get carried away with. Not that those involved shouldn't be excited, but time is a concern that needs to be number one. All that hard work to get a schedule ready shouldn't go to waste. Get to your location 10-15 minutes ahead of time. You don't want to cause the rest of your prom group to wait on you and you surely don't want to be left behind.

10. Don't do anything last minute. It's easy to become pressured into making ourselves think that if we just added something extra or redid some of our makeup that it will be absolutely perfect. Stop before you start to do this! Most likely you already look in tip-top shape and don't need to fix anything, especially if time is an issue. Since we know our bodies and see ourselves in the mirror everyday, it is common for us to think we don't look our absolute best because we know what that looks like. This doesn't mean that other people don't think that you aren't already gorgeous. By making last minute changes, things tend to go array and disasters are born. This is something you want to avoid.

Best wishes from Best Prom Dresses!

Every woman has a body shape that is different from the other. In choosing the right style and fit for a dress, recognizing your shape is very important. We base a woman's body with five basic shapes.

First is full-bust. This includes girls that have a large upper body, most strongly in the bust. With this figure, one should opt for v-necks or high-neck tops. Something to stay away from would be rounded and square necklines. It will also help if you wear a shelf bra. Another good tip is to use subtle shades. To deemphasize your top, go for a dress that has a sexy slit that can draw attention to your legs.

http://www.bestpromdresses.com/shop/jovani_10628200.htm

Second is full-bottom. For girls that have a bigger hip measurement and whose shoulders are very narrow. Your goal should be to make your shoulder look wider. This can be accomplished with an A-line gown. Lucky for you, any type of neckline would look great and you can even explore in ruching and many embellishments at the bust.

Third is full-round. If you are short-waisted and your shoulders and hips are about the same width, you might be looking for a way to make your figure appear longer. Go ahead and go with a solid color, but try not to use a different color for the top than the bottom. Wide v-necks, jeweled necklines (very trendy this season!) and open necklines would be great options! Try a strapless!

http://www.bestpromdresses.com/shop/Charlize_dress.htm

Fourth is hour-glass. Lucky for you, nearly anything and everything will work!

Check out the Faviana Heidi Klum dress style 5909

And fifth is slender. For those of you who are long, lean and have a hard time showing your curves. Try not to make the mistake of trying large and colorful prints. Instead, show off your curves with a scoop or rounded v-neck. You might want to invest in a wonder bra as well.

http://www.bestpromdresses.com/shop/jovani_19474200.htm

No matter your body shape, like yourself for who you are and embrace it. Your confidence is what's most important! Choose a prom dress that you really love and go with it!

Multi colored and jewel studded dresses are fabulous, but there is nothing wrong with a good solid. Solid colored dresses actually give you more creative freedom! You can't go to prom barefoot and who can resist picking up some brilliant jewelry for everyone to feast their eyes on. Take for instance this stunning Charlize Theron dress. You see what beautiful curves this dress presents; it's a real head turner. With a solid colored dress such as this; what color shoes and accessories you choose is up to you.

It's great not to be limited to any particular color; let's use gold for example. When you are limited to a certain color you will find that you can rarely accessorize the way you want. If you happen to find a cute gold pair of shoes; you can bet that they will be sold out in your size. It is then you will truly regret choosing that gold trimmed prom dress, for now you are doomed to trudge back and forth across town in search of shoes in that same shade of gold. Chances are that if/when you finally find them they won't be very pretty.

Other noteworthy solid colored dresses are the Jovani 105852175 prom dress and the Jovani Beyond b5357130. Go ahead and buy that knock out necklace that would have lost its luster were it buried under a beaded halter. Pick a dress that speaks without trying. Pick a dress that compliments your figure without hiding it. For someone with a lot of sass this Jovani Beyond b5311195 might just be for you. Solid scarlet; this playful ruffle bottomed gown just needs a pair of shoes and it's good to go.

It is no wonder why prom gets all the attention of high schoolers. You get to dress up, go out with your best friends, and enjoy a night of fun and freedom.
