Prom Dresses

The style of evening gowns varies tremendously from year to year.  Some years everyone will wear cocktail-length dresses, and other years long dresses will be the rage. 

For many years black has been the most popular color, whilst lately pastels and metallic are starting to make a comeback. If you are not sure what you want, look in magazines and in shops. We have included on the right, links to Prom dress designers whose dresses are stocked by many of the shops we have listed, and will give you an idea of the designs and styles available.

When visiting a shop that sells Prom dresses try on every dress that you think might work for you. Dresses usually look very different on you than they do on the hanger. If you don't try it on, you may end up eliminating a dress that would of looked great on you. Some of the shops keep records of what dresses have already been sold or ordered for a particular school Prom to ensure that you don't end up with the same as your coleagues.

Don't forget to take your time and start looking early.

Fashion Show
Some of the shops will set up a catwalk fashion show at your school.  This will heighten the excitement for the upcoming prom and give you an idea of what is available. Try contacting a few different companies to see what is available.
