This gorgeous gown is available in three color combinations: silver/white, all turquoise and black on black. It features a chiffon criss-cross bodice with a sequin skirt and a split to the mid thigh. Wow Prom is the designer but you can check your local Bridal shops to see if they carry the line.
We wanted to take a moment to focus prom dress styles for pear shaped women, specifically – cocktail dresses.
Silhouettes of a pear shaped figure comprises of thin shoulders and wide hips. Pear shaped women are indeed curvy but because they tend to be more heavy on the bottom, finding flattering dresses can be difficult. While selecting a dress for pear shaped figure choose a flowing skirt or gown. It decently flows over your hips giving you a slimming flattering look.
One of the best tricks to hide this if you so choose is to draw attention towards the assets. For pear shaped women this is often the legs or neck. It’s good to wear a dress with plunging neckline that draws attention from the bottom to top part. Also visually it balances your figure.
Avoid dresses having embellishments or embroidery or any other design on hips or around it. It looks more bulging thus giving a heavy look. Same on the top will work very nicely, as it also counterbalances the body proportion. Thus embroidery or embellishments in dresses, skirts or gowns should be only on top part.
The color of the dress can bring the most out of you. Go for solid dark colors for accentuating you. Especially dark color on the bottom part is very essential for the elegant look.
If you have a nice waist accentuate it. Wear dress with nice belt, sash or embellishment on the waist. It will automatically de-emphasize hips. Also corset dresses is a good choice. Full skirt with twitched waist will look good.
Prints are also a great way for attaining a fabulous look. But large prints can destroy your entire image. Pear shaped figure should always choose small prints on the dress. Because large prints draw attention and add bulk to the area you want to de-emphasize.
Avoid bias cut gowns, as they are figure hugging and is best suited for thin and slim figures.
Any type of cocktail dress will beautify you, if you possess confidence and sense of style. Also remember preference is not always preferred, accenting features is more important.

With more High Schools opting for specific themes for Prom Night, searching for a theme prom dress can be challenging. Arabian Nights is likely to be a popular theme for Prom 2009. When thinking of looks for an Arabian Nights prom theme, you’ll really want to focus on dresses with shimmery fabrics that are jewel tone in (golds, ruby reds, sapphire blue, deep purple). Sequins, beading and other adornments on your dress would also work well for an Arabian Nights prom theme.
We’ve found two dresses that would be perfect for an Arabian Nights prom theme – both are dark blue in color.
We selected the first dress from Edressmeprom.com (style # 3093), it comes from the designer Sherri Hill collection and retails for $440.00 It has a fitted strapless corset style top, with a sequin bow accent. With a high front slit that also accents the sequin lining. Complete this look with gold bangle bracelets, strappy jewel embellished shoes and a sleek updo and you’ll look perfect!
Our next dress is from CBSLimited.com and their Xcite collection (style number 3602). It’s a little less expensive than the previous dress, reasonably priced at $290.00. Personally, we prefer the Sherri Hill dress more – but if you’re on a budget, this one works as well. The sweetheart neckline is accented with rhinestones, and the fitted bodice will show off all your curves. A silver strappy heel (with jewel embellishments) is the perfect compliment to this dress.

When trying to decide on the perfect prom dress, sometimes the best place to start is with the theme of your look. We’ve already done a Marilyn Monroe inspired prom theme, as well as a goddess prom theme and Jennifer Lopez theme prom ensemble. We wanted to together something that was truly unique with todays installment of an Asian inspired prom theme.
A chenogasm is a body hugging one piece Chinese dress, it’s also known as a qipao – or in English, a Mandarin gown. Chenogasm can be very elegant – perfect for formal occassions, or they can be more casual, perfect for work. We found a beautiful chenogasm that would be the perfect dress for an asian inspired prom theme. Available at GoodOrient.com, this dress is made of a fine brocade with a wave pattern. It is knee length, backless and sleeveless with a mandarin collar and butterfly collar, two side slits and an invisible zipper in the back.
To take your asian inspired prom theme one sep further – we’d suggesting wearing your hair in a chic bun/updo style and compliment it with an Asian hairclip. We found this hairpin & earrings set also at GoodOrient.com
Finish this look off with a pair of gold and red strappy sandals and you’re good to go. The wonderful thing about this prom theme potential is that the company is overseas (they do ship to the U.S.), so chances are – NO ONE at your prom will be wearing this dress!
