One-shoulder prom dress is popular for 2011, so pick one up for your prom night,or homecoming party. But will they be popular for prom 2012? Only time can tell (and the Hollywood red carpet). Keep an eye out for the red carpet dresses to see what will be hot for 2012 prom.

From the hip little flare mini Hayden Panettiere wore to Megan Fox's black and gold number, short is hot for 2012.It's going to be a hit throughout the year and into early spring, just in time for 2010 prom.

Off the shoulder prom dresses are another hot ticket for 2012.Two great examples are Michelle Obama's inauguration gown, and Kate Winslet's Oscar's gown.

The wow look is another style that girls love to go for because they want to make a lasting impression on their one night at prom. You may choose a dress that is tight on the body and shows off every curve that you have if you are slender and have an amazing figure. The best fabrics on dresses like this are silk and satin because they really show off your curves. You may even want to go with a retro look and wear pumps and carry a clutch purse.

Many girly girls who want to find something to wear to prom don't feel comfortable in the elegant prom dresses or the cocktail dresses. The best way to go to prom in this case is by finding the right skirt. This may include a breezy plain dress or a sleek dress that has a flirty style but is not to showy.

There are many different types of eco friendly prom dresses. One type is a reused gown. Often you can buy a pre-worn gown from a wedding, prom or homecoming. When you're done wearing the dress, resell it again. Every time you recycle a dress, you save more from being made, and valuable resources from being used. It's important to note that not only does reusing a dress save material; it saves labor and processing at the factories.
