2008 Prom Dresses - Fashion and Style
Fabric
There are two major fabrics this season, satin and chiffon. Make sure that you try both on when you go out
shopping, in a similar colour, as you will undoubtedly look better in one than another. This links with your
eyes and hair colour; those with more defined features tend to look better in satin, and those with sort of
mish-mash coloured features look better in softer fabrics like chiffon.
Fabric has the ability to change the mood of the outfit; satin looks hot and chiffon looks romantic, silk
looks couture whilst cotton looks summery.
Halter
Once you have decided on the fabric, you will inevitably be looking to choose the neckline. The hottest
neck this season is a halter plunge; which is great because it suits a younger body shape with a smaller
chest.
This torso shape looks awesome on long prom gowns, rather than short, and therefore suits really tall
women. If you are wanting to wear a short prom dress, then both the UK and the US have some sexy
halter alternatives, for example, bib and sailor styles. You could try updating white prom formal dresses by
giving them this neckline, which will then look more prom than wedding.
Grecian
Grecian dresses have been redesigned and revamped for this year, with a sexy new edge. You can
recognise this style because it is usually made in chiffon, with a plunging neckline, but its highlighting
feature is its fabric braiding around the centre. This means that there will be two or three extra strips of
fabric around the waist, these strips will usually be sparkly, and a very focal point of the dress.
Try and link this look in with your 2008 prom themes, because this design is very on trend. If you are
designing your own prom dress, then think seriously about using this style. When you buy one of these
dresses, then make sure that you accessorize simply and modernly. Also keep your hairstyle simple, as
anything too complicated will overpower the simplicity of the dress.
Centre Detail
Last season we saw this trend start to build up, and now it is all over the 2008 collections. What used to
be simple straight prom dresses are now embellished with a central detail, which will accentuate a great
figure.
This central detail usually runs from under the bust toward the belly button. Sometimes this is simply an
extra pattern on the fabric, but it can also be an encrusted diamante addition. This style looks great on full
length designs, but should be avoided if you are thinking about getting two piece prom gowns.
Toned Colours
Some of the most stunning gowns in 2008 are ones which use different shades of the same colour, or
have a two-tone effect. For example, you could make hot pink prom gowns look trendy by dividing the
colour in several places. However, be warned, you cannot wear complicated hairstyles or updos with this
shape, as it will look far too full-on.
Buying a more expensive designer dress in this style is recommended as the fabric and quality of the
gown will make you look ten times more stylish.

Buying a 2008 prom gown should be a really fun experience, and to make sure that you get the best dress possible, then
make sure that you start shopping as soon as possible. Most of the shops will be stocking their dresses now, and you if
you go sooner you may catch a gorgeous cheap discount dress.
Try and move away from wearing black to your special evening, as this is unmemorable and ordinary. Instead find a colour
that really makes you look healthy, whether thats pink, red or green. Do not be afraid to wear colour, as it makes all shapes
and sizes look better; its the way you wear it that counts.
