Styles of Junior Prom Dresses

Answer 1

When dreaming of prom, most junior girls immediately think of two things: dresses and dates. After a girl has secured the perfect date, she is then on the hunt for the perfect junior prom dresses. There are a wide variety of prom dresses, from short to long, sleek to full skirted. Choosing the right dress not only takes a bit of fashion savvy, but a knowledge on how to properly consider each dress due to their shape and level of comfort.

Junior prom dresses come in a wide variety of shapes. When evaluating the shape of a prom dress, it is important to carefully consider your body type. Full figured girls will want to choose shapes that highlight their waist and fabrics that flow over the body in a flattering way. Petite girls will also want to choose shapes that highlight their waist, including corseted dresses and mermaid shapes, which will give the illusion of curves. Pear shaped girls, or those with a larger bottom then top, will want to choose full skirted or a-line shapes that include detailing around the neckline. Girls with broad shoulders will benefit from choosing halter or strapless dresses, that feature a full skirt, as this will make the body appear proportional.

It is also important to choose junior prom dresses that are comfortable and can be worn for a long period of time. If a dress is so tight that it barely allows room to breath, this dress will be extremely uncomfortable once it has been worn for a few hours. Very heavy junior prom dresses can also be uncomfortable, especially if they do not fit perfectly. While dresses that feature very intricate beading throughout the entire bodice and skirt are very beautiful, they can be difficult to wear for an entire night. Many strapless varieties will need to be constantly adjusted, while other varieties will simply be weigh the body down, causing a girl to sweat and ruin her hair and makeup by the end of the night. Therefore, it is important to choose junior prom dresses that are not only comfortable at first, but will continue to be comfortable into the wee hours of the night.
