Prom Dress Trends 2017

Prom 2017 promises to be more exciting than ever as designs continue to grow bolder, brighter and blingier and colors run the gamut from bright pastels (is that a contradiction?) to rich darks. Which style will you choose to stand out at your prom this season? Here's just a sampling of the trends you'll be seeing for 2017 (we'll explore more in-depth in future posts):

Crop Tops

The two-piece dress really gained traction in 2016 in Kansas, and this year the trend is growing even bolder with the crop top, to show more of those rippled abs. Of course, the milder two-piece dresses that show just a sliver of skin at the mid-section will continue to gain in popularity this year, as it will be only the fittest, bravest girls who opt for the crop top.

Bold Floral Prints

Floral prints started to reassert themselves last year and are coming on stronger in 2017. Tiffany Design will offer classic floral, floral Mikado and even a floral print over bold black and white stripes this season.

Delicate Floral Embroidery

A takeoff on the floral design that will surely be a hit with our Kansas girls this year is the floral embroidery. These delicate designs are one of the biggest trends this year, so you don't want to be left behind on this one.

Sparkle, Sparkle, Sparkle

Girls again will be twinkling under the dance floor lights this year with the trend toward sequin and crystal designs sure to turn all eyes your way.
