What Type of Lace Dress Should I Wear for Prom?
Choosing the type of lace dress you wear to prom is all about knowing how to strike the right vibe for your style. Lace is naturally soft and feminine, so you could choose a lace prom dress with colors or features that highlight that effect or go for a design that sets up a bold contrast for an edgy, sexy look instead. Here are PromGirl’s top 5 lace dress styles that are perfect for prom:
1. Short Lace Prom Dress: While most of your classmates will probably show up in long styles, just imagine the impact you’ll make when you arrive wearing a sassy short lace prom dress! You can go fun and flirty by wearing a lace dress with a lace bodice and poofy skirt or bring out the sophistication of your short lace dress with a curve-hugging fit or statement-back design.
2. Floral Lace Prom Dress: Go ultra-girly by choosing a lacey prom dress that’s in full bloom with gorgeous feminine florals. Level that girly factor up another notch by choosing a stunning bright pink or soft pastel hue or add a bit of sultry intrigue by picking a floral lace prom dress with a plunging neckline or sheer corset bodice.
3. Black Lace Prom Dress: If you love lace but don’t want to come across looking super young or extra frilly like a doily, consider a black lace prom dress. The color automatically gives any lace dress a mature, elegant upgrade. Paired with sleeves, you’ve got the ultimate in sophistication. Add in some fringe or feathers instead for a super trendy look.
4. Prom Dress with Lace Appliques: Maybe you’re not looking to go all out with lace for your prom dress this year, and that’s okay! You can still tap into this timeless style by choosing a prom dress with lace appliques that pop against the bodice or trail down the skirt. Just imagine how alluring your prom dress could be with 3-D lace appliques providing just the right amount of coverage across a sheer corset bodice!
5. White Lace Prom Wedding Dress: Want to feel stunning like a bride, but maybe not be mistaken for one at prom? Believe it or not, prom wedding dresses are absolutely a thing and a super fun look to pull off! Since lace is the ultimate in bridal fabrics, it makes sense to go for a white lace prom wedding dress. (You can find some gorgeous options in PromGirl’s prom wedding dress collection.) Simply add on a few colorful accessories to round out the prom effect (oh, and skip the veil, just to be safe).
