Short Purple Prom Dresses Are On Trend

By Alyce Larson


Purple is a great choice for a prom dress as this color has always been worn by royalty. You should feel like a princess on this important night. It is a rich, versatile color with an inspiring variety of shades, from deep eggplant to soft lilac. Both girls with blond hair and brunettes wear this color well. Short purple prom dresses are right on trend and many girls are choosing them as a comfortable and stylish option.

When choosing to wear a shorter style, you must be careful to select the right hairstyle, jewellery and shoes to compliment it. If you neglect these decisions, you may look too informal. When all of these factors compliment and enhance the dress, you can be sure that you will stand out, even amidst longer gowns.

All sorts of necklines are available. A one shoulder style dress with a simple hairstyle, a pair of statement earrings and high heels can be very elegant. A sweetheart cut is perfect for a petite girl. It creates curves, elongates the body and is the perfect mix of high fashion and cuteness. Many girls go for the strapless look in order to show off their beautiful shoulders. A backless dress or one which is laced up at the back shows some skin without being too revealing.

Some materials are more suited to a shorter dress style than others. Taffeta and tulle are popular choices, especially when the tulle is used in layers underneath to give volume. If you choose a tight fitting dress in a metallic fabric you will be sure to turn heads.

Garments are embellished to take them out of the realm of the ordinary. A dress may be very simple but it looks unique due to the way it has been decorated with beads, pearls or embroidery. Lace overlays are popular for a vintage look. You will make a more dramatic statement with sequins, feathers or rhinestones.

When wearing a shorter style, your shoes must compliment the dress and flatter your legs. Fortunately there are many shoes in suitable shades so matching the color of your dress should not be a problem. The style chosen must also suit the dress style. Covered toes are better with more elegant, mature styles while showing the toes is an option with more youthful styles. High, high heels are the rage but be careful not to choose shoes which are too difficult to walk in.

There are many stores offering the option of purchasing online. This does give the opportunity to compare styles and prices. However, great care has to be taken to select a reputable store if a purchase is going to be made in this way. A dress which does not fit properly or does not arrive in time can spoil the occasion completely.

Short purple prom dresses are an option chosen by many girls. They are available in a huge variety of shades and styles. You will be more comfortable in a shorter dress if you are planning to dance the whole evening. This does not mean you have to sacrifice the wow factor and a dress like this can make you stand out in the crowd.
