Cuts & Styles
Different dress cuts flattering different body types and curves are in for 2011. The sweetheart neckline is one amongst the most popular, which adds a hint of elegance giving you space for wearing jewelry. Pair them up with dangling necklaces or chokers. Strapless homecoming dresses are another hit trend that permits you to wear your hair up, down or even to the side. If strapless sounds uncomfortable to you, 2011 has spaghetti straps and halters. While full length dresses flaunt elegance and tradition, short skirts reveal a more contemporary look with a hint of fun.
 
Fabric
The most important aspect of a prom dress is the fabric that brings out your individual spark. Right from smooth satin to embellished bodices to colorful ruffles, the choice of fabric is completely yours. Simply choose one that adds to your overall confidence and poise. Whether the fabric clings to your curves or moves with you while you are on the dance floor, both styles form a part of the 2011 prom dress trends.
 
Ball Gowns
The sequence where Cinderella gets a face lift and dons that beautiful ball gown, dancing her way through the party is a dream of many young girls. If you are one of those, then ball gowns are your pick. These formal prom dresses perfectly fit any body shape with the exceptions of petite girls, simply because they will be lost in the ruffles and tiers of the draped ball gown. They are available to fit different bodices, both small busted and large busted. Also, if you want to complement your body frame, try out a halter or strapless dress.
 
Empire Prom Gowns
For all petite and tall girls, the prom dress trends offer you empire prom gowns. They elongate your waist and give you an appearance of a larger bust line. You can further elongate your appearance by playing with different hem lengths and opting for a shorter dress to look tall. Add a touch of length by selecting sweetheart necklines or halter prom dresses.
 
Sheath Prom Gowns
Also known as mermaid dresses, sheath prom dresses complement tall, thin, and petite girls. While tall girls can go for a full-length prom dress revealing their long legs for a classic and elegant look, petite girls can put on a sheath dress without cuts for a longer appearance. However, full-figured and pear-shaped girls should keep away from such dresses.
