How to Choose and Wear a Short Prom Dress

Can I wear a short dress to a formal prom?

Yes, you absolutely can! A short dress is very acceptable for formal events today. Just make sure the fabric looks fancy, like satin or lace, and pair it with nice heels.

Are short dresses cheaper than long gowns?

Often, short dresses cost less because they use less fabric. This is great if you are on a budget but still want to look amazing for your big night out.

What shoes look best with a short hemline?

Since your feet are visible, wear shoes you love! High heels make your legs look longer in a short dress, but cute flats or sandals work well for dancing, too.

How do I choose the right dress length for my height?

If you are petite, a mini cut works well. If you are tall, a midi length is a great choice. Our short prom dresses come in different cuts so you can find one that fits your height perfectly.

Do you carry short plus size prom dresses for curvy girls?

We sure do. We have a beautiful selection of short plus size prom dresses designed to fit and flatter curvy bodies. You will feel confident and comfortable all night long.

Are two-piece styles still in fashion?

Definitely. Short two piece dresses are very trendy right now. They are fun, youthful, and let you mix and match colors if you want to be creative.

What should I wear under a short tight dress?

If you choose one of our tight short dresses, seamless shapewear is a good pick. It helps the fabric lay smooth against your skin so you feel secure while you dance.

Can I find a short dress that has pockets?

Yes, we know how important convenience is! We have short dresses with pockets so you can keep your small essentials with you without needing a big purse.

Can I wear my short dress again after prom?

Yes, that is the best part! Unlike a big ballgown, a short dress can be worn again for weddings, homecoming, or nice dinners, giving you more value for your money.

What accessories go with a simple short dress?

If your dress is simple, you can go big with jewelry. Statement earrings or a sparkly necklace pair perfectly with our short prom dresses to complete your final look.

How early should I buy my prom dress?

It is smart to buy your dress at least two months before the dance. This gives you plenty of time to handle any alterations if the fit isn't 100% perfect yet.

What if it is cold outside on prom night?

If the weather is chilly, you can pair your short dress with a cute shawl, a faux fur wrap, or even a stylish leather jacket for an edgy look.
