FIT AND FLARE
People who want to show off their ever pretty figure without committing to the dramatic mermaid silhouettes may consider an elegant fit-and-flare formal evening dress as an alternative since it flatters many different body types. It still hugs your body through the bust and waist, while being a little more forgiving through the hips, bottom, and thighs. The skirt flares out mid-thigh, giving you plenty of freedom to walk, sit, and dance as your heart desires, which is why fit n’ flare prom dresses are among the most popular long and short evening gowns.
JERSEY KNIT
Jersey knit long or short fitted formal dresses have two identities. The first is a plain and simple look with minimal embellishments; the second is a use of extra fabric in the design for draping and ruching effects since jersey is a forgiving material whose weight falls beautifully into pattern. This fabric can handle serious embellishments like overall sequins or chunky beading as the fabric literally goes with the flow of the design elements, thus giving you a fitted, sexy prom dresses look.

SWEETHEART NECKLINE
A classic and romantic formal dress choice, this popular neckline is offered on many different dress styles and with or without long sleeves. This neckline is great for accentuating décolletage (curves on your upper bust/body), as it dips down in the front. A true sweetheart will come down into a sharp heart shape while a semi-sweetheart will have a slight downward curve.
