Dress Rehearsal: Choosing a Junior Prom Dress


Fanciful ideas and decadent fantasies of junior prom dresses have been materializing in the dreams of young women for as long as most of them can remember. With their exceptional styles, fine detail work and delicious array of color options, this year’s junior prom dresses feature a palette of intoxicating color, and have wisely taken a cue from the spring runway fashion shows. Most lines incorporate an array of candy-colored pinks, lush greens, vivid turquoises, delft blues, vivid corals, flaming reds, and brilliant yellows.

If you’re like most young women and you have dreamt of your prom night since you were a child, this year may present your first opportunity to shine in the spotlight and to live out those dreams. This year's collections of junior prom dresses recreate your visions in unique constructions of satin and other exotic fabrics. This season’s stunning ball gowns featuring full, romantic skirts remain a primary focus of collections, dramatically updated in this season’s most sought-after hues.

You may be in search of a sleeker, more sophisticated look, and rest assured, aside from the ball gowns remain a variety of junior prom dresses from which to select. Most collections include many sexy, island-inspired styles, and shorter, flirty dresses that will stand out in the crowd and leave a lasting impression on your date.

This year’s collections of junior prom dresses remind us that it’s all in the details. Nearly all gowns from this season's lines feature intricate beadwork, colorful embroidery, or dazzling sequins. Hi-low, handkerchief, and asymmetrical hemlines are reminiscent of long summers at the beach, while full skirts, tea- or floor-length, extend last fall’s glamorous vintage trends into spring for the prom collections.

If you boast a womanly figure, the collections of junior prom dresses may include the perfect creation! Many designers incorporate sizes extending up to 34W in their entire lines. There will typically be a modest fee (usually around $15) added to your order. Tall lengths are also available in many of the collections, and include five additional inches of material at the hemline. Young women of any size should keep in mind that most prom dresses tend to run about two sizes small, and that a typical dress is cut to fit a person who stands 5’8” while wearing high-heels. Careful measurements based on designer specifications are crucial to ensure a perfect fit.

Junior prom dresses are priced according to each individual retailer. Cost may vary, so be sure to shop around for the best selection and price. Regardless of retailer, most junior prom dresses tend to fall within the $150-$300 range, although some are a bit more expensive and may be priced into the $400s. Most collections are carried at a variety of formal and bridal wear specialty shops across the country.

Featuring glamorous details and flattering design, this year’s junior prom dresses come in a multitude of styles and colors. With so many designers, cuts, and details from which to select, locating the dress of your fantasies will prove as simple as dreaming it.
