6 fashion trends of prom dresses 2012

The prom fashion industry are neo developing so fast,so there are so many options of prom dresses on the websites; it can get overwhelming at times.

Here are the top five trends for prom 2012 ,for this you can save your time and get the best styles for yourself.

1. Short and sweet

Don't favor the hi/low look? If you definitely don't want to go long, that's fine because short has become the new long. Short prom dresses are everywhere and in lengths from below-the-knee tulle dresses to ruffled mini confections.

2. Bold and beautiful

In general, color is a major trend this spring. So it's not surprising that bright, saturated colors have seeped onto prom dresses. Instead of pale or muted hues, dresses are drenched in vibrant bold colors that are borderline neon. A group of girls can each pick a yellow, pink or green prom dress in a saturated hue to represent the colors of the neon rainbow.

3. prom celeb

Look like your favorite Hollywood celebrity for less! Have your eye on one of the recent red carpet styles on your favorite celebrity? A celebrity-inspired dress for prom is a hot ticket and your backstage pass to shining like a true star.

4. Sexy back

Justin Timberlake isn't the only one to bring sexy back. The back is the highlight of many prom dresses this season with plunging lines that reveal ample back cleavage, skimpy straps or even back cutouts.

5. Highs and lows

One major trend to surface this year is the hi-low dress. These gowns are short in the front and long in the back. It's almost like a mullet dress, except the party is in the front and it's formal or business in the back. But with dresses, the party can happen anytime. Some of these hi-low prom dresses have a removable long skirt. So if you get tired of the ball gown aspect and just want to have fun, you can ditch the long skirt completely.

6. Cocktail dresses

Shorter hemlines are also a major option for prom this year. Girls are more comfortable in these types of prom dresses than in a floor-length prom dress. Plus a shorter dress can be more versatile. Our culture isn't really a ball gown society anymore so you can get more wear out of a shorter dress. I personally love a little poof to a short skirt.

Prom is once in a life time chance that you can be a princess perhaps "Belle" is the look you are going for! Choose one from the styles above, and you can really become a belle of the ball.
