Advice From a Prom Goddess - Is it Too Early to Shop For 2011 Prom Dresses?

Your prom's not right around the corner but you're already planning what to wear. You've asked yourself, "Is it too early to shop for 2011 prom dresses?" The answer is a big fat "no."

It's never too early to plan what could be one of the most romantic days of your life, next to your future wedding of course. Start looking now, and if you find and fall in love with something, get it now as well.

"But what if it goes out of style?" Good question. There is a chance you could show up for your big night looking like last year's reality TV pseudo star. But there are a couple of things you can do to avoid this.

Color

The hot color this year may not be hot in 2011, except for white. It all goes back to that "most romantic day of your life" idea. A white dress will make you look like a blushing young bride no matter what year it is.

In 2011, Faviana's prom dresses will surely make you the belle of the ball. Why? Because they have an actual "White Collection." Every single dress in the collection is a showstopper.

Size

Yes, you might be heavier or skinnier a year from now. And you need to be honest with yourself and know that something that looks sensational on a girl with lots of curves is going to hang like a potato sack on a slender waif. And something that fits your bikini model bod this week, will be uncomfortable as you become more developed over the next 365 days.

You'll need to find a design that is fitted on top and loose everywhere else. Girls, in 2011, Precious Formals prom dresses will look dynamite no matter what size you are. So many of their looks have fantastic flared skirts that flatter every shape.

A shout-out to Terani! In 2011 I am predicting that Terani's 35040H prom dresses will be a big hit. They're a sweet and strapless little wedding cake of a confection that are tight on top, loose on the bottom, with flowers and beads. It's really just pure perfection AND it comes in white!

Length

While short is always sexy, long is always in style. Even if you're absolutely certain you want a short look, you should go long. In 2011, Jasz prom dresses will still be popular because of their long, luxe length.

And here's an oh-yahhh tip. If you really, really decide you want a short dress next year, you can always get a long dress altered. You can go long to short, but there's no going the other way around.

In 2011, Tony Bowls prom dresses will be serious crowd pleasers. All of their styles are long, lean, and luxurious. Some of them are even short in front and long in the back for a sort of innocent, bordello vibe.

Details

People often say, "It's in the details." In this case, not so much. No one except Project Runway winners know what kind of detailing will be in style next year. Rhinestones, feathers, buttons...? No clue.

If you're doing early-bird prom planning, pick a dress with a few well-placed details. Or better yet, none at all. In 2011, La Femme prom dresses will be a safe bet. Most of them are one color with all of the delectable design exuding from the way the fabric hangs and drapes.

Also in 2011, Night Moves prom dresses with their traditional yet memorable styles will be in vogue. And last but not least, in 2011, Sherri Hill prom dresses, in particular the 2203 ball gown, will leave your date breathless and your friends envious. That one comes in white too!
