2011 Prom Dress Guide

There's still time to get your dress! We've rounded up the hottest prom dress trends of 2011. From mini dresses to the traditional princess look, we'll show you where to find them in Chicago.

Trend: Sequins

Sequin dresses are one of the most popular trends for prom 2011. From short dresses to long dresses, even a few sequins can make a big impact. An added bonus to a highly sequined dress is you won't need to splurge on your jewelry. When you're sparkling from head to toe, you won't need to add a lot more in the accessory department. With these dresses-your sequins become the main accessory!

Dresses like the one pictured, are registered at Prom Bay so no one at your school can have the same dress!

Trend: Cut Away Hems

Show a little leg, while still being school-friendly. This sassy number from Peaches features one of prom 2011's hottest trends- the cut away hem line. The dress shown features a fitted torso, side front slit, and ruffled skirt with train. I like to call this look, party in the front and business in the back!
