Prom 2009 Fashion Trends - Prom Dresses

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Joyce_Kreger]Joyce Kreger

Prom season is a time to celebrate the end of the school year, the arrival of spring, and a last fling with your friends before you head off to college and new careers. You'll want your dress to look beautiful in all the pictures, as they'll serve as mementos to look back on for years to come.

When choosing a prom dress, there are two main styles to decide between. The first is a long, formal gown, and the second is a shorter party dress. Party dresses usually contain more lace and frills, while formal gowns tend to be more silky and form fitting. You and your friends may want to wear dresses in similar styles, or you may decide to have a variety of styles within your group.

Remember, prom is an excellent time to wear vibrant spring colors; you can stay away from the blacks and dark hues of homecoming and lean towards pastels and bright colors. Keep in mind, though, that you'll need to look good both with your date and in group pictures, so you may not want to choose anything that would clash with other colors.

Other style trends to consider when deciding on a dress include:

· The material. Since you'll be dancing, consider a gown that allows you to move freely, perhaps in a cotton or silk blend.

· The number decorative items on the dress. Some have sequins, bows, sashes, or intricate designs. If you choose one of these, you may want to minimize the amount of jewelry you wear and the flashiness of your shoes.

· The color. When you pick out your dress, choose a color that goes well with your skin tone. Try on a few different shades to see which you like best.

· The length and fit of the dress. Decide if you'd like to wear high heels or flats, and choose a dress that would work well with those shoes. Then think of your greatest assets, and pick a style that flatters you and that you feel comfortable in.
