2008 Prom is here... and better than ever!
Spring is 2008 is set to be the hottest year ever for prom dresses! Flirt by Maggie Sottero, Alyce Designs, Mori Lee, Jovani, and La Femme are among the best selling lines and they have hundreds of beautiful gowns to choose from. Styles for '08 range from sleek and sexy to super sweet with mermaid silhouettes and ball gowns taking center stage. Strapless necklines are still all the rage and plunging halters aren't far behind. Layers and pick-ups embellish gowns of every style and shape and give you lots of textured looks that have a couture flair.
The Prom Websites Association is excited to welcome several new members this year and we hope that when you shop for your prom dress you will visit our member websites. We've chosen them as the most trusted sites on the web for nationally advertised prom dresses by the industry's best designers. Our best advice is to shop early and buy early to be sure you get the dress of your dreams for prom 2008!
Prom '08 is quickly approaching!
We have been busy shopping for 2008 prom dresses at market and couldn't be more excited to share the beautiful new styles with you on our websites. This Spring will be all about the fabric! Get ready for rich, flattering colors, gold & silver metallics, bold black & white, polka dots and even animal prints. Sexy features such as low backs, short skirts, and stretch fabrics are more popular than ever and, if feminine is what you're looking for, you'll be excited to see the delicate beaded lace & embroidery detailing, ruffles and pick-up skirts. Look for 2008 prom dresses online from our "Top" websites beginning late fall '07.
Shop Early– Start browsing online for dresses in late fall, narrow down to your favorites and be ready to buy at the beginning of the year. This is when you’ll get the best selection and ensures your dress will get to you before prom. Dresses sell out fast, so don’t miss out on the one of your dreams!
Flatter Your Body – Looking great in your prom dress is about picking a dress that looks good on you. Just because a style is trendy, doesn’t mean it’s for you. Try dresses on, consult magazines for fitting advice, ask dress store employees for input and use your own judgment to find a dress that shows off your best features. Remember YOU make the dress!
Comfort Matters – Looking beautiful might be painful, but the more comfortable you can make yourself, the more you will enjoy prom. Choose a dress that you feel confident in, that stays in place, and that you can move easily in… and dance the night away!
Measure Carefully – Trying on your dress isn’t always an option, so measuring is the best way to get a good fit. If you can, see a professional seamstress to have them taken, but if not, have someone help you. The measuring tape should be held snug, tight and level around your bust, natural waist, and hips while you stand tall looking straight ahead.
Plan on Alterations – Even the most careful measurements may not mean you get a perfect fit, so plan for alterations once you receive your dress. Everybody is different and 95% of people need something tucked, shortened, or adjusted. Don’t forget to take your shoes and undergarments to your fitting appointments!
Accessorize – You’ll need more than just a dress for prom, so plan to get your dress well in advance so that you can shop for shoes, jewelry and accessories. If you shop for these things locally take your dress along to see the whole outfit. It’s also easy to one-stop shop online and pick everything out at once!
After Prom Style – Prom doesn’t end at the door of the dance, so your prom look shouldn’t either! After Parties range from elaborate gatherings to a cozy evening with friends and you can you can dress to match. Pair a sexy beaded top with your favorite jeans or cute skirt or opt for comfy “Prom 2008” pajama pants and tank tops… even coordinate with colors to match your dress!
