Best Prom Dress Styles for Tall Girls
(405 Words)
Prom is here, and you want a dress that is going to flatter your tall figure. Certain styles can help to show off a beautiful, tall figure better than others. Consider the following styles for your big event.
Sheath
A sheath gown is a fitted dress that goes around curves. It hugs the body, showing off your nice long figure. Many girls want something modern for prom. These may come with a variety of necklines including halter and spaghetti straps. If you want a sexier design, go for a strapless, sweetheart neckline. You will find many sheath dresses that have beautiful embellishments such as Swarovski crystals, rhinestones or cutouts. For a stellar sheath dress look, try the Sherri Hill 2270 dress.
Short dress
Many tall girls are very proud of their long legs. Show these off in your prom gown by getting a shorter dress. It may be a tea length gown that ends near the shins to show off the calves. If you want to show off even more of your long legs then choose something even shorter like the Blush Prom Dress 9083.
The necklines vary on short dresses. Strapless is very popular for prom. If you want the support of straps but still want to show off your shoulders you can choose something with spaghetti straps. Of course you could get something more modest with longer sleeves as well. You can pair this with a great pair of matching shoes.
High-low gown
Many girls want something “trendy and edgy” for prom. A newer style that can showcase your fashion sense is a high-low gown. This style of gown is shorter in the front but longer in the back. It may fall to your calves in the back or even go far enough to create a train. The shorter length in the front shows off your beautiful legs just as a short dress does. The longer back gives it a unique style and also adds some formality. These range in volume, material and style. The La Femme Prom Dresses 15087 is a beautiful example of such a style.
The suitability of a dress will depend on many factors in addition to height such as body type and weight. Try on a variety of different gowns to get the best idea of what looks great on you.
