Long dresses are a very traditional look, but this doesn't mean that they're old news and likely to be seen as boring when you're at prom. Look around at pictures of girls at prom. Are most of them wearing short skirts? No.
There's a reason for this; because long skirts are by far the most appropriate for formal events like prom. Prom purists will tell you that wearing a short skirt to prom is wrong, as they're not formal and don't look serious enough.
You will also miss the elegant and classy image that long skirts can give you, as there's nothing quite like a long, sweeping skirt giving you that statuesque look as you sweep into the room. You're also going to look out of place in the many photos that will be taken, as if everyone else has chosen long-skirted 2014 prom dresses then your lasting memory will be you there looking very different to your classmates!
How Do I Get A Long Prom Dress And Still Look Individual?
Every year there are thousands of new dresses released with styles that haven't been seen before and it's no different in 2014. Prom dresses with long skirts don't all look the same you know! In fact you have a lot of choices, so you should still be able to turn up with your own style.
Let's look at some of the ways your long dress can look different and unique:
Different fabrics.
For instance, a satin skirt is a lot heavier and is going to sit differently on your body than a lighter one made of chiffon. Therefore, if you'd prefer a light, floaty dress then you can choose one with a skirt made from a lighter material that will have some volume. On the other hand, if you prefer a sleeker, figure-hugging dress then you can choose one made of a heavier material which drapes over your curves.
Different styles.
Every dress has a different style and that includes the skirt. You can try skirts with ruffles, asymmetrical skirts, sequins, beading. The sky's the limit, so what you need to do is get online and check the many stores offering ranges of 2014 prom dresses for inspiration. If you find a style you love then this is a great starting point, as there will be a lot of girls at prom and it's very unlikely they will choose exactly the same as you!Different trains.
A train is great for upping the glamour stakes, so you'll want to look into the different kinds of trains available. True, a prom dress with a train isn't great for dancing in, but you will look excellent in your pictures and have a really regal style.
All of these factors can make your long dress really pop, so if you spend some time researching them before the event itself it's going to pay off as you'll look individual, fabulous and feel at ease with your perfect prom dress!
