Your prom dresses

As we all know, prom night is much important to the young people, especially to the girls.

While some researchers pinpoint the first prom as early as the late 1800s, they became an official stamp on American culture in the 1950s. In the Eisenhower Era, prom dresses were designed to accentuate a girl’s hourglass figure. Ballerina-length skirts, usually made from tulle or lace, fanned out from nipped waists. Heart-shaped bodices brought the breasts front and center while swan-like necks were usually left bare. As for the dresses themselves, the palettes leaned towards pastels, making the dresses symbols of innocence. A perfect example of the quintessential prom dress of the 1950s was inspired by Edith Head’s strapless gown that Elizabeth Taylor wore in “A Place in the Sun.” The boned bodice and white tulle skirt with green satin became the prom inspiration for teenage girls everywhere.

Whether prom is a night to remember or just a dance, it does requires a little prepare and one certain thing is that choosing prom dresses requires a little thought and planning.

Here are some prom dress selections for different body types: Hourglass – you are lucky if you are of hourglass figure, you will look good in almost anything. Consider strapless or halter top dresses, those with sashes and cinched waists.

Straight – try avoiding body hugging dresses that might emphasize your squarer figure. The A-line prom dresses that are slightly fitted will help in adding volume and curves. You can also consider prom dresses with wide shoulders and flared skirts.

Rounded – For rounder figured women, consider ones with a drop waist and low neckline. A low neckline helps enhance the bust and the drop waist lengthens your torso. An empire cut dress lengthens the body and figure overall.

Pear Shaped – A-line dresses that are straight cut and empire waists are good selections for this body shape, because they lengthen the legs and torso, giving the appearance of balance and height. Another important factor to consider is the sizing when shopping online. Keep in mind that manufactures sizes vary. And when you buy your prom dress from the online shop, you should make your measurements as the shop required.
