With all the types of formal gowns and dresses available, there are also many terms that describe the length, design, neckline, and style of a Prom dress. You might feel overwhelmed when you talk to a clerk in a formal wear shop or even when you shop online for prom dresses. Below we have gathered some useful terms and definitions to help you become an informed shopper for prom dresses and other PROM-related topics of women's interests.

Prom dress Styles

Some of the Prom dress styles you might see include the ball gown, A-line (princess), sheath, lace-covered, high-low, Babydoll, chiffon, one shoulder, empire, golden glamor, modest, and halter.

Ballroom Dresses and A-Line Prom Dresses

A ballroom gown has a very large skirt that waters from the waist to mid-calf or ankle. It could have fitted waist and top or a corset type top. A-line or princess dress flares out to the hemline and narrow near the waist. It is an "a" form fit your body from top to bottom.

High-Low, Lace-covered and chiffon Prom Dresses

The high-low dress zigzag vertically on hemline so it is short in some spots and long in others. The jacket Prom dress is one that clings to the body and hides nothing about your Figure. The lace-covered dress can be a satin or satin-like material underneath with lace as top layer. Chiffon dresses like a fancy night gown worn by women in Rome and Greece. With a high empire waist, the dress is long and runs from the hips down to the ankles. It's great for almost any figure.

Babydoll, One-Shoulder, and sleeveless dresses

The Babydoll Prom dress is typically very short and sweet. The suits are usually runs in the top and bottom with a high waist in between. Baby doll dresses usually comes with a tied ribbon or belt around your stomach to give the "baby dress" look. One Shoulder Prom Dresses has only one shoulder strap, of course, on the other hand, without sleeves. These are usually long and elegant dresses. There are also completely strapless formal dresses and prom dresses. These can be worn with or without a jacket or wrap.

Grime, Golden Glamor, and Modest Prom Dresses

Halter Prom dress similar to a halter top at the sleeves and then run to the knees. It is usually no longer than just below the knees and may look similar to a high-low dress at the bottom. The golden glamor dress is usually shiny gold to appear as "Hollywood" style clothing. The modest Prom dress is beautiful, simple, and modest. It covers everything while still giving the wearer a touch of glamor and elegance.

Types of Sleeves

Cap sleeves are short and cover only the upper arms and shoulders. Juliet sleeves are puffy at the shoulders and taper all the way to the wrist. Some sleeves off in the shoulders or appear to "hang out" on his shoulders. Also, spaghetti straps are thin straps without sleeves.

Necklines

Necklines are also important when choosing a Prom dress. Empire neckline scoop out and then connects with a very high waistline. A sweetheart neckline looks like the top of a heart. A jewel neckline is simple and round, located just above the collarbone. The boat neckline (Bandeau) comes around to each collarbone, similar to a sailor suit.

Prom Other Terms to Know

There are also handbags, or small purses, and clutches that can match your Prom dress. Clutches are small handheld handbags without straps. Shawls and wraps are not cheaters, but fits loosely around your shoulders. You can wear them when outdoors in cold weather and easily remove them to dance. A tiara is a princess-type wig than could be worn with your hair up or down. There are elbow gloves and wrist gloves. Elbow gloves reach to the elbow, which covers the lower part of your arm, while the wrist gloves cover his hands only.

Before shopping for a Prom dress, what styles and accessories you're after, you can save time. Also go online to see all the different styles available. You can even find great deals online on prom dresses by designers such as Mori Lee, Jovani, Clarisse, Niteline, Dave and Johny, Paris, Riva and Alyce Designs.
