When it comes to finding a dress to wear for a formal occasion such as prom, many are tempted to go for the puffy look because this is what we have grown up with and if you were to look at any formal dance photographs from the past, you would see such dresses on display. Puffy sleeves and billowy skirts might seem like the perfect way to achieve that fairytale princess look, but they can actually be quite difficult to wear. For one thing, puffy sleeves can be uncomfortable and restrict your movement. And if you opt for a dress with a full skirt, you’ll have to be careful not to trip over it. In addition, dresses with lots of fabric can be difficult to dance in. 

Puffy and billowy dresses may not be perfect for some people. They may want to steer clear of the trend and instead find something a little bit different, preferably something that would allow them to dance the night away with ease, especially for an event as important as prom. It is fair to say that women nowadays are pretty much spoilt for choice and so they have many different types of dresses to choose from when it comes to attending and enjoying a formal event.

Many people decide to visit and buy from reputable prom dress shops because they know this is where they will find the best selection possible at the best possible prices. There are many different kinds of dresses to choose from and it can be quite overwhelming trying to pick one out that will suit your body type and your individual tastes.

The following are just some suggestions that you might want to consider for your next formal occasion.

• Consider A Midi Dress – If you are not familiar with what this is then it can be easily described as the dress that you want to choose between the maxi and the mini. Sometimes the maxi dress is a little bit of overkill for a formal event and the mini dress just isn’t suitable. If you’re not completely sure about the formality of any event, then this is the perfect option because it suits all body shapes and there are a number of different choices when it comes to the neck line and the length of sleeves.

• An Off The Shoulder Number – Many women are extremely proud of how their shoulders look and so they want to show them off. This is when an off the shoulder dress is perfect for those who don’t want to try to carry off the strapless look but they still want to turn heads.

• Possibly A Mini Dress – Only you can decide if this is the right choice for the formal occasion that you’re going to be attending and if you are considering wearing a mini dress, then it’s highly likely that you have a fine pair of legs that you want to show off. If you want to be able to capture people’s attention when you walk through the room, then this is definitely the dress to choose because it puts great emphasis on your legs.
