West Springfield High School Prom 2009
As a pageant girl, I absolutely LOVE prom season! Here are my top 5 picks for prom 2011 this year! All these dresses are found at my FAVORITE online prom website CB's Limited. They have a wonderful website with a great selection! You can order from almost every single major prom designer at competitive prices!
I'll be showing you something trendy, something elegant and timeless, something full (ball gown), something short, and something flashy
Something Trendy
This dress is amongst my favorite prom dresses to ever grace the prom market... EVER. It is stunning and trendy with the beads tastefully throughout creating a glamorous, yet classy approach, and one shoulder appeal. Many people tend to think that a full bottom like that would make someone with a short frame appear even more petite but let me tell you, my 5'3 frame supports the full bottom very well and it tends to elongate my appearance!
Something Elegant and Timeless
Alyce Designs #6441-- $338
This dress is absolutely timeless with it's appealing sweetheart neckline and small broach right below the bust. This will not only make your prom pictures gorgeous now, but will make a relevant approach to fashion for many years. The dress is also available in azure blue, orchid, and white (pictured in watermelon). Ordering it in azure blue or white will ultimately make this dress even more timeless for your prom princess!
Something Full
Jovani Prom #159777-- $370
This dress is everything a modern princess needs. The little florets on the dress add a touch of Spring and brightness to the dress. The deep cup sweetheart neckline also creates a sense of maturity that these dresses often lack because of it's full bottom. The demand for these fuller gowns has decreased in recent years, however, as a pageant girl that never wore ball gowns (my mom said they made my 5'3 self look way too short) I have a soft spot for them. This dress, pictured in light pink, is the perfect color, however, it also comes in royal and dark green if you want to take a darker approach.
Something Short
Mori Lee Prom #8750-- $422
This dress is not only gorgeous, it is versatile. It has an exposed floral cape that is removable. The dress can either be fuller or tight and sexy depending on how you want to rock it at your prom. Better yet, if you are a junior, you can even wear the cape to prom and remove the cape and tulle skirt to reveal the short and sexy number underneath for your senior homecoming! This dress is available in Purple Craze or Pink Pizazz! Both colors are equally stunning and would be a great asset to your formal wardrobe collection!
Something Flashy
Tiffany Designs #16576-- $338
This stunning gold dress will make you prom queen upon entrance. The one shoulder look is totally in right now and that plus the fully sequin bodice up to the skirt is absolutely stunning. If you look at my prom picture from 2009 at the top, you can probably guess that this would be my choice for prom! I absolutely love this dress and would wear it to prom if I was still in high school! This champagne color is perfect, however, Olive is also available if you do not want to be a golden beauty.
THE Shoe
This shoe goes with everything and I absolutely love it! I think every girl should have these shoes in their closet and it literally matches everything! This shoe's platform is not only ridiculously comfortable so you can dance the night away, but it can be used for more than just one occasion. I have three shoes from this Line and I absolutely LOVE it. NOTE: I highly advise for you to buy this from a retailer in store.. this line seems to run about a half size smaller than other brands.
Before you buy a dress remember something very important:
1.) Make sure your website you are ordering from is very reputable and not just a copy from China. If the price of the gown is significantly lower than other places then it probably IS NOT LEGITIMATE!
2.) Also, standard department stores have a wide selection of gowns, however, can often times be JUST AS EXPENSIVE as these premiere designers.
3.) Finally, make sure you take accurate measurements! Make sure you purchase a size based on your biggest measurement. Ex: If your waist is a "2," your bust is a "0" and your hips are a "4" BUY THE 4! Maybe one in a thousand people will fit into these gowns without any alterations. In fact, the majority of ladies who purchase these gowns will need some sort of alteration (do not skimp on this! get the alterations you need done or you will be miserable all of prom) So make sure you budget for alterations!
What will you be wearing to your prom?
HAPPY SHOPPING AND HAPPY PROM!
