Prom season is stressful enough between finding the perfect date, figuring out how to do flawless hair and makeup and planning the perfect place for photos. The added stress of finding a fabulous dress is the last thing you should be worrying about. Which is why we’re sharing our fave picks from PromGirl.com’s selection of over 75,000 dresses! Want more help? Check out their YouTube channel for their “Prom Perfection Plus” video series, featuring more tips to finding the perfect dress to suit your shape.

 

Classic and sleek

Choose a classic silhouette and solid color to keep it simple. A ruched bust line will give you some support and draw attention up to your pretty face! Plus, we totally heart the bling detail on this dress.

Show ‘em what you got

Flaunt your curves in a mermaid figured dress with ruching through the torso. The one-shouldered sparkly neckline is super flattering, to boot!

Flowy and fabulous

Look like a goddess in a flowy white chiffon gown! The empire waistline means this dress floats over curves for a smooth and sleek silhouette. Snag a few golden accessories and a braided updo for a show-stopping outfit. Stunning!

 
 
Full One Shoulder Ivory Chiffon Gown, $399, promgirl.com
 
Born Bold?

Just not meant to blend in? A vibrant pattern is the perfect way to stand out. A breezy and floaty fit will balance out the brights. Pick a sparkly clutch and major earrings, but leave the necklace at home.

I can't WAIT for my prom! I'm only in eighth grade, but I've always been a big romantic. Yay!
Love the dresses, btw.
AND! I'm a bigger built girl and this article didn't offend me at all. Everyone is different, and GL is respecting that. Smile

its really annoying how they say prom dresses for plus sized girls when really these girls arnt plus sized at all. and im sure that this article has hurt alot of girls feelings and brought down their self esteem because now they think there fat when really there not. shame on you guys for even putting this article. i thought girlslife was supposed to help girls not hurt them.

honestly, it really annoys ME when only one of the so called "plus sized" models is really plus sized, and the rest are just curvy.

MOD MOD MOD can you guys do an article for petite girls?




Hey girl,

I'm sure we'll do prom dress articles for all sorts of body types but, in the meantime, check out this article about dresses for petite. Take the tips there and apply them to prom dresses - and you'll have the perf dress for your bod in no time! Smile
