Previewing Prom 2019 Trends

During our recent trip to The One bridal and prom market for Spring 2019 at Dallas Market Center, we had the fun opportunity to see the trends that are taking shape for next prom season. Last week we looked as some of the trends in bridal gowns so this week we will focus in on prom dresses.

Sparkle

OK, we talked about this last week, but it bears repeating. Sparkle, shimmer, glimmer, whatever you want to call it, it's going to be huge for Prom 2019. Sequins certainly play a prominent role in the trend. You'll find dresses with the larger metallic discs, like an inch in diameter, dancing across the red carpet. But an even bigger piece of the sparkle trend is what the designers refer to as shimmer jersey. You'll enjoy the comfort of a jersey fabric, but with a shine that won't disappear.

Ruffles

These structured ruffles made an appearance that was so well-received for Prom 2018 they are taking a huge role in on the prom carpet for 2019. The flexible bands on these dresses create a flow that won't be squashed or rumpled as the night goes by. The ruffles are appearing in A-line and mermaid styles.

Geometry

We understand you don't really want to deal with mathematics while you're enjoying your prom night, but geometric patterns continue to rise in popularity on the prom runway. Straight lines, angles, circle and triangles will adorn dresses in all sorts of fabrics, but especially in the fitted jersey style.

Colors

If you're thinking about your prom dress, one of your first thoughts is going to be about color, but we saved it for last. Mainly because we're just going to tease you to come back next week to learn more about color trends for 2019. OK, just a one-word hint: yellow.
And thanks to Dallas Market Center, here's a little video peek at what we were able to enjoy.
