2007 Prom Dress Styles

Prom is a magical night for every girl who attends. With that in mind, it's important to choose a dress that's beautiful and flattering. Your prom dress should make you look and feel fabulous. Check out the following prom dress styles for 2007 -- you're sure to find the perfect one for you:

The first trend for 2007 prom dresses is the fairy tale princess look. Think ball gowns with frothy tulle skirts and romantic fitted bodices. Great colors for this look include cotton candy pink, icy pale blue and shimmering silver. Accent your gown with sparkling diamond or cubic zirconia jewelry. If you're looking for something in a darker jewel tone like ruby, sapphire or emerald, skip the tulle skirt and go for a heavier satin that drapes softly to the floor.

The sleek look is also hot for prom. You could call this look the opposite of the fairy tale princess look. Lines are tight and straight, yet dresses feature feminine details like beading and embellishments. Ideal colors for these gowns include bright shades like fiery red, rich purple and regal royal blue. Keep sleek dresses long to avoid looking too casual. For a sophisticated look, try a strapless bodice and accent with a sparkling choker necklace and an intricate upswept hairstyle.

If you're looking for something different, today's prom dresses don't disappoint. The mermaid style dress is fitted all the way down to mid-leg, then it flares out in a fuller ruffle. Midriff bearing dresses are another less common trend for this year's prom dresses. Some midriff bearing dresses are made in two pieces, while others are one piece dresses that feature a sheer panel between the top and bottom.

Color is another aspect to take into consideration when choosing your prom dress. While most dresses feature only one color, the multi-colored dress is an option for anyone who wants something trendy and modern. For example, some of today's dresses feature a solid bodice and skirt with an additional layer of skirt fabric in a complementing or contrasting shade. Another way to incorporate more than one color to your prom dress is to choose a solid dress and accent the waistline with a different colored ribbon. Or, choose a dress that features solid satin with a black lace overlay for a romantic and daring look.

Prom is all about fun and romance. The dress you choose should reflect your own personal style and make you feel like royalty. Today's prom dresses come in a staggering array of choices to suit the preferences of every young woman.
