Modest Prom Dresses

Take a walkthrough any mall at prom season and you're sure to find hundreds of prom dresses. But you may be more than a little surprised at the dresses you find! Dresses with short mini skirts, dresses with plunging fronts, slit up the thigh, with no backs, and tiny little straps that you fear won't make it through the night. If your goal is to show little skin and still be high on style you may get discouraged at the selection you find at your local department store. Luckily we have a wide selection of fun, trendy, and glamorous gowns that you won't be afraid to wear in front of your Dad.

Your prom night is one of the most important nights of your life and you should spend it in a dress you are comfortable in and love to wear. If you spend the night worrying that your spaghetti straps will fail while you dance or that if you move to much, your science teacher will get an eyeful you won't have a very good time. You should pick a dress that you are comfortable in and that makes you feel great! Prom night isn't a time to sit in the corner, afraid of what your dress might show if you move too much. You want to dance, mingle, and party with your friends.

A modest prom dress shows the respect you have for yourself and that you have nothing to prove. Look through any fashion magazine and you will find dozens of beautiful elegant stars who show very little skin. Modest isn't dowdy - it's classy and classic. When you are comfortable in what you're wearing, it shows. It gives you a confidence you will lack if you are walking around in a dress that embarrasses you. Your prom pictures will, most likely, be shared with your entire family and will be something you look back on often in the years to come. You don't want to wear a dress that will scandalize your Grandparents and embarrass you when you're older.

Buying a Modest Prom Dress

Even if you buy a more revealing dress it can still be dressed up modestly. A pretty shawl, a beaded shrug, or sequined bolero jacket, or wearing your long hair down instead of in an up do, can help you show a little less skin. A large necklace or one with an oversized pendant can trick the eye into thinking a gown with a low cut neckline is showing less skin then it really is.

Remember, this prom put the focus on you- not on how much skin your prom dress exposes. Style experts agree that less is more when it comes to how much skin you show. Modesty is most often always stylish.
