Full length gowns have been worn by elegant women for hundreds of years, even in the middle ages when the term hadn't yet been developed. Full length prom dresses give you a sophisticated and elegant look for any formal event. Full length gowns are also known to have straps, halter tie, or sleeves, making for a more conservative and sophisticated formal look. In the 1940s many full length gowns were made with luxurious fabrics such as velvet, satin, silk and chiffon. Today, there are many synthetic fabrics that mimic these expensive and luxurious fabrics that look and feel the same!
Picking the right dress for prom 2012 is difficult especially with all of the trends and styles out there today. One of the biggest issues is picking short or long. Kissdresses has the top four reasons to go long.
Four Great Reasons to Go Long
1. You're self-conscious about your legs
Hot up top and only so-so down below? The figure-flattering maxi is your friend, then. Bare your shoulders and show a little cleavage and limit the leg exposure to a strategic slit or gauzy peek in a floor-length gown.
2. It's going to be chilly
Proms are generally scheduled during the warmer months, but some climates stay chilly all year around. If this is the case, a long dress is not only a beautiful option for you, but a sensible one as well. If the weather is usually dreary, you might want to opt for a ballet length to avoid dragging your hem.
3. Your middle name should've been "Elegance"
You'd wear gowns every day if you had your way. Okay, at least once a week. You love the regal feeling. You get when you're zipped into a curve-hugging mermaid cut frock or dancing the night away in full-length princess ball gown.
4. You know you won't last in heels
There are heels women and then there are the rest of us. If you feel like you're probably going to slip into flats at some point during the dancing, opt for a ballet length gown, so you don't trip over your hem.
