Prom Dress Trends 2011!

Prom is your special time to shine! You deserve to look your best! A Formal Affair has an amazing collection of prom dresses that reflect the latest trends of the season! Check your newest prom magazines! Here is what you will read about:

Show Some Leg!

There are no rules about dress length for prom! As long as your dress is formal enough for the event, any length goes! At some schools, short dresses rule for all grade levels! At other schools, senior girls make a special effort to wear a long formal gown. Do what feels comfortable for YOU!

Color is Hot

Don't be shy! Be the standout of the prom with a dress that has color. There will be lots of black dresses in the crowd. While there is nothing wrong with black (it is always an elegant classic), those dresses will be lost when you walk by with a brightly colored dress. This season, we have an awesome color selection! We have dresses in vibrant yellows and oranges, precious pinks and reds, and paparazzi-worthy blues and greens!

Beading and Accents

If you really want to sparkle on the dance floor, select a dress with beading. Beading adds texture and dimension to any dress and creates a truly glamorous Hollywood look!

Pleats

If you really want to be fashion-forward, try pleats! The current trend is to have a pleated bodice, as well as a pleated skirt. The nipped in waist holds the outfit together. Pleats add a unique and stylish look to your prom dress!

Be a Print-cess!

This year, print dresses are a unique and beautiful trend! In the past, prints have been limited to a few animal prints and a few florals. This year is different and incredible! The print dresses this season feature antique-y designs in understated colors, modern abstract designs in awesome brights,and pretty and original florals in colors that are right on trend! Check out our boutique soon for the absolute best selection! Even if prints are not for you, remember we have HUNDREDS of dresses!
