W There’s a cut and style to fit anyone. Mermaid and goddess
looks are among the options for those who want structure,
but there are sleek, minimal styles for those prefer a more
elongated fit.
Hemlines go up and down—sometimes in the same
dress as Hi-Lo looks continue in popularity. It’s easy to
see why fashionistas and fashion forward celebrities
have fallen in love with the high low trend. With it’s
flirty, sexy, chic vibe, it’s bound to attract attention. Your
skirt is short enough in the front to be stylish in the day
and long enough in the back for that right gust of wind to
make quite a dramatic entrance.
Look for deep V-necks, high front slits, and exposed backs for
those who like a bit more exposure, as well as lots of cut-outs, some
with sheer overlays. The V-neck is also a favorite of celebrities
wishing to display a bit of cleavage. The crumb-catcher neckline is
an edgier look that offers an haute couture touch. And, of course,
tiered skirts of ruffled chiffon, tulle, or pinned-up gathers will
make any girl feel like the belle of the ball, whether for prom or a
