The Search for Your Perfect Prom Dress

A look at 2017's top Prom dress trends.

Prom season is upon us, which means it’s time to start dress shopping! It’s been a while since I’ve been to prom, but I still remember how giddy and eager I was to find the perfect gown. I wanted to find one that felt like me, one that embodied my personality and made me feel beautiful.

The search was not as easy as I thought it would be. So, to make your dress hunt a little easier, I’ve compiled research on the latest prom trends and styles and put together a list of the top looks of 2017.

From classic silhouettes and bare-shoulders to two-tone fabrics and floral prints, these trends will blow you away! Take a look, get started on your search and remember to have fun in the process!

Feminine + Flirty

Trends to look out for: floral prints, two-piece gowns, straps, full skirts, two-toned fabrics, slits, back details, high necklines and delicate beading.

I love this two-piece, A-line gown with floral embroidered bodice by Sherri Hill from Glitz!.
