Homecoming Trends in Formal Dresses

If you want to spice up your homecoming this fall, why not try one of the latest fashion trends in formal dresses for fall.

Floral Prints

Floral prints started appearing for prom dresses last spring, and we had just a few girls in Manhattan who were bold enough to put on a bold floral print for their prom. This fall the trend has carried over into short homecoming dresses. 

Typically the floral print is featured in the skirt, topped by a bejewelled top, but sometimes it's reversed with the floral accenting the top and a solid-colored skirt.

Two-piece Dresses

The two-piece dress made its debut for prom dresses a few years ago, but didn't really catch on with our Kansas girls until this past prom season. Then it caught on in a big way with nearly every other girl asking about two-piece prom dresses. We seldom kept a two-piece dress in our Manhattan store window for more than a day or two before some girl snatched it up for herself. 

We're expecting more of the same this homecoming season as our providers offer a huge variety of short dresses in two pieces. Girls can choose from a full skirt or a fitted style, depending upon her tastes. 

Intricate Beadwork

Intricately patterned beadwork is another feature that has carried over from prom dresses into homecoming dresses this year. Many companies are using this beading that looks like something that would appear on a royal outfit, but now it can be a detail on your homecoming dress. Carrying the beading from the bodice to the hem of the skirt adds even more appeal. 

At ETC boutique in Manhattan Town Center, we'd love to work with you to decide exactly which features you would like in your homecoming dress, or dress for any formal occasion.
