Of course, the list is long regarding formal dress styles and if you want to know what the fashion world is wearing this year, here are a few ideas to help you make the right choices.
- Mermaid - If you have the figure, why not flaunt it? A slick, jade green number by Sherri Hill would definitely turn heads, while diamonds and platinum are perfect accessories. The online designer dress boutique is the cheapest place to find designer dresses and many of the top designers are represented. Rich colors and all the sizes are available from the designer dress boutique and spending an hour browsing mermaid dresses is sure to lead to a purchase.
- White Lace - A real killer if you are tanned and with pearls and diamonds, you will look like elegance personified. White high heels and below-the knee lace prom & dance dresses would be the perfect choice. Silver jewellery also blends well with cream or white lace; blondes should explore this look.
- Two-Piece - If you fancy showing some skin, a sexy two-piece is the way to go, while a jumpsuit is ideal for fall proms and winter events. Jovani has some gorgeous two-piece numbers and they are not as expensive as you might think. Search online for ‘designer dress boutiques’ and browse the websites, looking for that ideal two-piece outfit that fits your personality. It’s easy to compare products and prices with Google and you might be lucky, your dream dress may be on special!

Dressing traditional is as safe as it gets and yes, you will look stunning. For accessory tips, there are some great blogs online with ball gown accessory ideas, which should help you nail the perfect gown.

- A-Line - The classic ‘flare from the waist or hip’ is a great style for the plus size girl and the place to find designer dresses is the online boutique. Search by style, designer or price. You can also browse by designer at their online store. Color depends on your skin tone and your preferences and when choosing a size, make sure your vital measurements are accurate.
- LBD - You could wear that little black dress that fits like a glove, pair it with red shoes, sterling silver jewellery, and deep red lipstick. It’s the perfect look for a summer prom, if you have the figure for it.
