Autumn & Winter Prom Dress Looks and Prom Skirts

Prom Dress Looks and Prom Skirts

There has been a growing trend for the full prom skirt. It's been gaining strength for a couple of years in the form of casual slouch skirts. Now the prom puffball is a shape to note in both skirt separates and dress styles. By next year I'm sure many coats will have prom style full skirts.

As the trend for coats has been toward looser shapes, and A-line fullness in the lower half, so it has become easier to wear a wider or fuller skirt in winter. Short jackets like the biker styles also make it an easy choice for more voluminous skirt styles.

Ruched net tutu petticoats that lift and enhance the skirt roundness are now more easily available from retailers. But if you are having trouble locating a 50s style net petticoat,

try browsing fancy dress websites with a Google search for 'tutu net petticoat'. Or look for Goth clothing sites and try searching for Goth petticoats.

Stiffer fabrics like the brocades used in these two photos left, will of course hold out better from the body than limper fabrics like satin. satin prom dresses will need support of a net petticoat if you want that flower fairy puffball effect.
