Bellissima at Prom

 

 

Having finished high school and about to be released into the world, what better way to celebrate that then with a masquerade.  Dressed to the nines to experience what the world has to offer to our beautiful youth.

I couldn't resist, you girlie girls will understand.  First the mani pedi, the updo at the salon but nothing is more important than the gown.  It really is a rite of passage for young women everywhere. The duckling into a swan, the sweet girl transforming into a beautiful young woman. It's official.  It's prom, and what better way to toast the celebration then with the gown to end all gowns.

Now the opportunity to relive my graduation was more then I could handle and promptly set out to find the crème de la crème of prom gown fashions.  Here's a few helpful hints I've learned to make the gown hunt a little less stressful and a lot more fun!

Sequined embellishments is the leader of prom trends.  Under those lights who wouldn't want to twinkle and shine.  However, make sure not to overdo it ... you don't want to look like a side show act.

 
Asymmetrical necklines and unexpected detailing or beading add a pop that pulls the eye and flatters any figure.

 

The leading trend in bridal design has filtered its way into evening wear,  and strapless gowns are thriving. Pairing this style with a bold necklace or a statement pair of earrings will stop this look from being too simple and help to fill this open neckline.

 

Another trend that can add some fashion forward flare to your prom look is the high-low skirt.  What better way to show off those killer stilettos.

The mermaid style gown is perfect for emphasizing and accentuating curves, perfect for those ladies with wanting to create a sexy "Marilyn" silhouette.
