Let's face it, half the point of prom is getting all dressed up for once. Here's my overview of the different kinds of dresses you'll find. These are named because of their look - the skirt poofs out. Crinolin is usually the fablic underneath the dresses that makes them stand out.
Some dresses have only one layer or two of crinolin, others can have seven or eight layers.
These are the dresses you'll find most often. They are straight cut dresses that usually have low necklines and cut backs. They are often clingy or tight-fitting. Sometimes they are plain, but most times they will be beaded or have a printed design. They almost always have spaghetti straps.
