Elegant long dresses in the new season are ahead of the competition, most designer models have maximum length. Strapless styles with a bodice or a corset, models with an asymmetric neckline and dresses in Greek style are in fashion. One of the most fashionable styles of dress is slip dresses with a simple diagonal cut with thin spaghetti straps. Except for completely slim silhouette, fashion designers offer a win-win mermaid style and form-fitting dresses with a flared skirt.

In the collections short prom dresses are found not so often as the long ones, but they can also become a good choice, especially for owners of slim legs. Asymmetry of a neckline, corset and strapless bodice are relevant for short models, some designers offer boat-neckline with bare shoulders and American armhole. Fitting models and X-shape dress silhouette with a flared skirt are almost equally popular, also you can choose the mini dress of trapezoidal shape.

Prom dresses with asymmetric hem line and double skirt can be called the trend of the new season without exaggeration. The collections basically include three different versions: the ones with a translucent long top, asymmetrical top of the skirt tailored with a train, and a second skirt covering the ¾ of the legs. Such solutions look bold, fresh and are able to visually adjust the shape, to make it slimmer and more attractive.
