LACE
Gowns with lace are considered a timeless, feminine fabric used in the world of special occasions or as lace wedding dresses because there are so many ways to wear it. Lace formal dresses look stunning with both chunky beading as well as light and ethereal sparkle for long and short prom dresses. Lace is a delicate fabric due to its see-through and intricately embroidered patterns; if thick enough, lace’s structure will hide all your body flaws and sins. Soft, stretchy lace is used for long or short lace body con styles and homecoming dresses. ALYCE Paris has the perfect lace prom dresses.
PLUS SIZE
People with plus size frames (AKA curvy bodies) can have a variety of body shapes, too. This is why ALYCE Paris has been making plus size prom dresses from 000 up to size 32 for over fifty years. ALYCE Paris inclusive collection of plus size prom gowns and plus size mother of the bride dress styles are offered in an array of plus sizes to accommodate all people and special occasions - from the red carpet to the dance floor.
SHORT PROM DRESS
Short prom dresses are perfect as wedding guest, cocktail dress, or graduation dresses. Short dresses come in many silhouettes like short ball gowns, party dresses, homecoming dresses, and knee length dresses. Short sparkling sequins dresses are the perfect prom dress for those who want to go all out. The ALYCE Paris collection of short formal dresses are great on so many body types.
STRAIGHT/SHEATH
The straight/sheath (or column) silhouette gracefully skims to show off your body’s natural shape. A person with a thicker waist and wider hips will love this silhouette as it hides these flaws very comfortably. An ALYCE Paris formal straight/sheath evening dress style’s straight lines lengthen—and lend an effortless and modern air.
TULLE
Channel your inner ballerina! Tulle is very sheer, light, and delicate fabric used often in long formal A-line evening dress, ethereal ball gown styles, and snowball dresses. Tulle skirts (or ‘poofy dresses’) are most associated with full skirts with stiffer netting underneath so the skirt keeps its fairy tale shape for the princess prom dress or wedding dress of your dreams. Insider pro tip: for those who don’t want such a poofy dress style look, cut out the crinoline netting under the lining so the tulle prom dress skirt loses volume.
WEDDING GUEST
What to wear to a wedding is beholden to the wedding dress code and the Bride. Picking out dresses to wear to attend a wedding requires some thoughtful effort especially when seeking out winter or fall wedding guest dresses. Get wedding guest dress ideas from our dress collections so you look your best when you use that wedding day hashtag in your Instagram posts. If it’s black tie or black tie-optional, long evening dresses for wedding guests are a smart choice for formal attire.
