Prom Dresses, Prom Gowns
Prom trends for 2010 also focus on length, with short prom dresses taking the dance floor by storm. Strapless and halter dresses are also favorite prom trends for 2010, and can work for almost any body type. A strapless dress tends to feature elegant shoulders and neckline, while also attracting attention to a girl’s facial features. The halter dress works well for plus-size teens, and also benefits those that are top heavy. Designers present these prom trends for 2010 in a couple of different ways. A baby doll length dress decorated with the simple elegance of a jewel-encrusted empire bodice; or the same thigh-high length in a shimmery fabric that ends in a party-girl hem. No matter what your personal style the prom trends for 2010 have something to suit your individual taste.

PROM DRESSES IN A DOWN ECONOMY
By: Alyssa Wagner
The walls are plastered with prom pictures and clippings from newspapers and fashion magazines. And at 10:15 at Lincoln High School in Stockton, California, dozens of fashion design students take their seats and go to town on sewing machines…
One girl alters a friend's jeans for a few extra bucks, and others are making hoodies. Stephanie Hernandez is one of six students designing her own prom dress. She's an outside-the-box fashionista who’s known in the class for pulling off inexpensive fashion feats, like the dress she designed for winter formal. “My parents told me they had a budget for my dress and all the dresses I wanted were really expensive,” so Hernadez decided “To make my own out of teen vogue magazines. And it was really cheap, it only cost me $10.”
Ten dollars for the packing tape she used to assemble magazine cut outs into a strapless cocktail dress. Now Stephanie Hernandez is splurging a bit for the prom by making a duct tape dress for 20 bucks! “I think it takes some brains and some creativity if you want to do stuff on your own,” Hernandez says “And I think when you spend less money and are more resourceful you're dress ends up being more unique and memorable. Than if you spend a lot of money and you tuck it behind your closet and never see it again.”
Girls have long been making their own prom dresses at Lincoln High School, but this year there are incentives other than just personal expression. Gail McAuley is the fashion design teacher at Lincoln High, and she says the economic downturn has significantly affected Stockton, “We have been number one in foreclosures, our jobless rate is rising rapidly. So, economic problems have hit us badly.”
McAuley says even using high quality fabrics, girls can still save money making their own prom dresses, “A short dress is usually about 2 yards. If it's a long dress, they may need up to 4 yards. So my guess is it's going to be more like 40 -50 dollars for a prom dress, which is still cheap.”
But according to McAuley, desperate local department stores are offering rock bottom sales – so low that thrifty students can sometimes find store bought prom dresses for as little as 30 or 40 dollars. But most students don't find dresses for anywhere near that price, because there's another concern that typically trumps cost…finding the "perfect" dress.
Across the country at Grady High School in Atlanta, Georgia, students are pushing to preserve the extravagance of prom, and voted against holding prom at the school to save money. Danè White says even with a deep recession, most girls would rather skimp on dinner and the limo than the prom dress, “I think dresses are a big deal for prom. It's about interacting and checking out what people have on. I feel like dresses are really important this year and people aren't going to slack off just because of the economy issue.
White works at Old Navy to earn extra money so she can pay for her prom dress. She studies fashion design at Grady High School's Urban Couture program. Student designers there have the super glam abilities to make their own prom dresses - they design entire lines of clothing their senior year. Vincent Martinez runs the fashion program where students have resisted making their own prom dresses, “What I find amazing is that the students that I teach, and I have predominantly female students, they are looking online for dresses. They’re ranging from 2-300 dollars up to even 600. That is no different than last year, the year before that, or the year before that.
Martinez calls the prom dress splurge an economic stimulus of its own. But he says it's more than that, “It is a rite of passage. Society tells our teenage girls, and this has been going on for generations, ‘You don't really make your own dress. You’re not supposed to. You’re supposed to go out and shop for one.’”
But don't tell that to Lincoln High's Stephanie Hernandez. She’s still feeling great about her winter formal dress, “I don't think I missed out. I actually though it was super cool to have something that you made and nobody else has it, and when other people complement on it, your just kinda like woo woo.”
Hernandez also expects to feel woo woo about her 20 dollar duct tape dress which she'll wear at prom on May 9th. She even hopes to make a little college cash by winning a competition from a duct tape manufacturer offering a $3,000 scholarship to the best duct tape MacGyver-ish prom outfit.

Prom Dress Q & A
Once you have found your perfect prom dress and have figured out the many accessories you will wear, your next step is to think about what hairstyle you will want to wear for your special night. Your hair has the potential too look great, it doesn't matter its texture, length, or color.
The first thing you will want to decide is whether or not you are going to have your hair professionally done, or if you are going to do it yourself. If you choose to have your hair professionally done, your best choice would be to purchase a hair magazine, or search the internet for pictures of a variety of hairstyles. Once you have selected the prom hair style that you would like, clip it out and take it with you to the hair dressers so you can give them a perfect example of your desired look. It would be wise to go to a hair dresser with whom you are comfortable with; you will want to trust the stylist in charge of your hair. If you choose to have your hair done professionally be prepared to pay anywhere between 30$-70$ for it. You will also want to remember to bring your hair accessory with you when you go, so your hair dresser can apply it as a finishing touch. Wear a shirt that is buttoned up the front, that way you won’t have to worry about ruining your finishing project before you get into your dress. As a final tip you should remember to make your hair appointment at least two weeks in advance, that way you will ensure your appointment, and you won’t have to worry about being left out in the cold.
If you decide to do your hair yourself, there are many tips that you can find in both hair style magazines, and online. If you have long hair you will want to decide if you are going to pin it up, leave it down, have it straight or make it curly. If you desire curls, tight small ringlet curls is the look of the season. If your hair naturally has body, achieving such a curl should not be a difficult task, but if your hair is very fine and straight you will need to exercise different measures in order to get your hair to not only curl, but to stay curled. If you are planning on leaving your hair straight, you will want it to look soft, sleek and shiny. There are many hair products that can assist you in achieving both of these looks. Doing your own hair is not a bad idea at all, as long as you have the patience. Experiment with different hairstyles well before the night of your prom, and you will be able to discover the one you like best.
Having a great prom hairstyle is the finishing touch to your spectacular prom outfit. If it happens that your hair does not turn out the way that you had hoped, don’t panic, and improvise. There are always ways that you can turn a disaster into your own personal masterpiece. After all, your prom is not only about you looking good, it’s about you having a great time – don’t let anything spoil it!

Showing Some Leg With Your Prom Dress
It’s that time of year – Prom. You find yourself very excited about this event that you've waited for, but now you are faced with a problem, what are you going to wear? There are countless styles of prom dresses that are available both for your purchase online, and in stores. You won’t want to wait until the last minute to do your prom dress shopping, that way you won’t have to worry about not finding anything you like. If you are not a personal fan of dresses, the idea of a classic princess prom dress may not appeal to you. That’s no problem, there are many short prom dresses available that are just as lovely, but not so frilly.
Short prom dresses are those that can be as long as just below the knee, and as short as 5-6 inches above the knee, any dress that is shorter than this isn’t really considered “prom” material. Because short prom dresses are not about the flowing flounces, one of the most important aspects to a short prom dress are its sleeves. Strapless prom dresses are always elegant looking, and they look fantastic with gloves. Spaghetti straps are also an elegant touch, and so is the one strap look. Some short prom dresses have beaded straps, it is all a matter or your own personal taste and style.
Solid black is always a popular color when it comes to short prom dresses, because it is often a complimenting sharp color. Of course, it is not the only color, and again the color you will choose and the design will be of your own personal decision.
If you choose to wear a short prom dress, the second most important feature to your outfit, will be your shoes. With a long prom dress, feet are often covered, but a short prom dress is all about showing off your legs, and therefore, your feet. Sandal strap heeled shoes are often the popular choice, because they allow you to shoe off your flashy painted toe nails and often make your foot quite attractive. A closed shoe is just as nice and dressy, but it is the more formal and classic approach to prom foot-wear. Experiment with both types of shoes, and decide which one you enjoy better.
Short prom dresses are the modern approach that has become increasingly more popular over the years. Besides being more modern, the chances of you wearing your prom dress again, if it is short, is much higher than if you purchase one that is long and princess-like.
Another great aspect about the short prom dress is that you might be interested in adding your own design. You could simply purchase a plain short dress, and obtain your own materials and create your own look. The possibilities are truly endless; all you need is a little bit of imagination, and creativity. Discover all of the short prom dresses that you can choose from online, in stores and in magazines, and look great on your prom night.

Getting Into The Perfect Prom Dress
Your Prom night is what you’ve been waiting for. There is probably no doubt that you have been planning for this special occasion for quite some time. You may have found the perfect prom gown that you absolutely love, but you have discovered that it’s a little snugger than you would like it to be. Don’t fret, you still have an opportunity to get into that perfect prom dress; all you need to do is a little bit of a work out. Most of us enjoy the idea of a good healthy work out, but it always appears to be something that is often easier said then done. If you find that you fall into this trap, you can use your prom as your incentive to lose a few pounds.
You would be surprised to learn that losing a little bit of weight is not as difficult as you would think. It does not mean that you have to take up strenuous exercise, it’s simply a matter of monitoring your diet, and keeping active. Before you even begin to exercise, set a goal for yourself. If you decide, for example, that you would like to lose five pounds, then you can begin to try out a few exercises.
The best exercise that you can participate in is walking. An active hour walk every day does not only do your shape a world of good, it also gets your blood flowing, your heart pumping and makes you feel energetic and great. Other exercises that have become quite popular that you can do in the comfort of your own home are those such as yoga. There are many different types of yoga, so you may wish to try a few of them, like Pilates, to decide which one you can commit to best. If you choose to do one of these exercises make sure that you are doing them properly and at a beginners pace. You don’t want to make the mistake of overdoing it and hurting your muscles.
As far as you diet is concerned, all you will want to ensure is that you are eating proper and healthy foods. Don’t over eat, and try eating smaller portions throughout the day, instead of large meals. By doing this, you will find that your body will be able to digest food properly, so you won’t look and feel as bloated. Make sure that you drink plenty of water (at least 8 glasses a day), that way your body will be able to flush out toxins in your body. The saying “you are what you eat” does have a ring of truth to it. Naturally, it doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy a treat now and then, but the point is to not over do it. Losing weight is about eating proper healthy portions of food that give your body the nutrients and protein it needs. You don’t need pills or crazy diet plans; all you need is your determination.
You can look and feel your best for your prom night, and wear that perfect dress you’ve always wanted. Develop a healthy and active life style, and you can feel great all of the time!

Choosing the Perfect Prom Dress
Your Prom is one of the most important days in your life. For that reason, choosing the absolute perfect prom dress is vital to getting the most out of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. After all, a prom dress isn’t just a dress; it’s the difference between feeling wonderful and beautiful, and feeling like you look “okay.”
Of course, we aren’t all rolling in cash, and that tends to make things a little bit more of a challenge. However, it doesn’t mean that you can’t find that spectacular gown, just because you only have a pocket full of change to your name. You just have to know the right techniques for getting a great prom dress gown without having to spend a ton of money.
To start, have a look at some of the magazines and websites that can show you this year’s latest styles. You’ll discover what you’re looking for, if you want to be on top of the fashions of 2010. This year, you’ll see different versions of strapless, halter-top, and cowl-neck, all in the evening gown style. The colors are very bold, as are the fabrics, ranging from reds and vibrant blues, even to subtle tie-dyed, and sequined trends. Once you have an image of this year’s look, it’s time to hit the stores. The earlier, the better, since less money requires more time.
You may wish to begin your shopping at your local vintage or consignment shop. These dresses will usually cost in around $10-$80. You’ll need to visit there frequently, as they will always have new and different stock coming in, and going out. If you’re not satisfied with those stores, step into a discount store. While they may not always have the traditional formal dress that you’ve imagined, you can find something equally as beautiful, for $20-$80. Of course, you shouldn’t forget the Internet’s endless resources. Check your favorite stores for discounts that are unique to the internet, keep your eyes peeled for smaller stores that specialize in prom dresses, and have a look at online auctions, which can potentially save you a staggering amount of cash. The drawback to the online option, though, is that you won’t have any guarantee that the dress will fit, and so you might lose out on shipping the items back and forth as you try them on. If you have the time, the skill, and the inclination (or if you know someone who owes you a tremendous favor and who is very talented), you may even want to make your own prom dress. That way, you’ll get exactly the style you want, custom-fit precisely to your unique body shape. The fabric should cost you in around $50, and you’ll need a pattern on top of that.
Of course, while we all want to save money, but remember the importance of your prom. The memories will be forever, and if you can possibly do it, go all out on your dress and your evening. If you do go all out, you know that you’ll get the perfect shopping experience, the perfect fairy tale prom dress, and the perfect prom night. You’ll be guaranteed the right style, and the finest quality. This will usually cost between $200 and $800 for your gown, but the experience will be worth every penny.
Remember, your prom night is your evening of fun, fashion, beauty, and memories that will last forever. Look your very best in the perfect prom dress, and enjoy!

This year, you’ll see different versions of strapless, halter-top, and cowl-neck, all in the evening gown style. The colors are very bold, as are the fabrics, ranging from reds and vibrant blues, even to subtle tie-dyed, and sequined trends. Once you have an image of this year’s look, it’s time to hit the stores. The earlier, the better, since less money requires more time.
You may wish to begin your shopping at your local vintage or consignment shop. These dresses will usually cost in around $10-$80. You’ll need to visit there frequently, as they will always have new and different stock coming in, and going out. If you’re not satisfied with those stores, step into a discount store. While they may not always have the traditional formal dress that you’ve imagined, you can find something equally as beautiful, for $20-$80. Of course, you shouldn’t forget the Internet’s endless resources. Check your favorite stores for discounts that are unique to the internet, keep your eyes peeled for smaller stores that specialize in prom dresses, and have a look at online auctions, which can potentially save you a staggering amount of cash. The drawback to the online option, though, is that you won’t have any guarantee that the dress will fit, and so you might lose out on shipping the items back and forth as you try them on. If you have the time, the skill, and the inclination (or if you know someone who owes you a tremendous favor and who is very talented), you may even want to make your own prom dress. That way, you’ll get exactly the style you want, custom-fit precisely to your unique body shape. The fabric should cost you in around $50, and you’ll need a pattern on top of that.
Of course, while we all want to save money, but remember the importance of your prom. The memories will be forever, and if you can possibly do it, go all out on your dress and your evening. If you do go all out, you know that you’ll get the perfect shopping experience, the perfect fairy tale prom dress, and the perfect prom night. You’ll be guaranteed the right style, and the finest quality. This will usually cost between $200 and $800 for your gown, but the experience will be worth every penny.
Remember, your prom night is your evening of fun, fashion, beauty, and memories that will last forever. Look your very best in the perfect prom dress, and enjoy!
