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!

ILLUSION
Illusions are sheer, netted fabric that creates a modern illusion of bare skin, while still being secure and supportive. Illusion necklines, sides, and backs are sometimes embroidered, in fact - embellished illusions are gorgeous for long formal evening dresses. IIlusions are a stunning way to keep an otherwise fragile design in line, but still show off a titillating bit of sexiness for your formal evening gownor prom dress. Illusions are particularly desirable on bridal dresses.

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.
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.
