CHIFFON
Chiffon is a very fluid semi-sheer fabric allowing for beautiful ruching and detailing often without the need of beading on the skirt. Imagine an airy skirt flowing behind you dramatically as you move about your dreamy evening! Chiffon is the ultimate fabric for your flowy prom dress idea.
FLOWY
Long flowy formal dresses are an elegant dress style that will elongate your legs and show-off your striking shoulders, while de-emphasizing your midsection (if you have a body type where you want to hide your waist). Consider a flowy prom dress that falls delicately over your waistline and balances your silhouette. Don't forget those high heels at your formal event!
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.

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.
SLIT
Show a little leg with an eye catching high slit, open split or folded-over slit in long dresses or prom gowns. Sexy prom dresses with slits work best on long prom dresses and ball gowns. Any body type that is comfortable with a showing can wear formal dresses with heart-stopping high slits - especially a red dress with slit.
TRAIN
Extra fabric at the back hem that sweeps dramatically behind you. Trains are available in many lengths, and can easily be cut down or altered to your desired length. Trains are particularly desirable on bridal dresses.
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.
