A-Line or Princess Line prom Dress

The ideal dress, most popular because its suits everyone.

See our A-Line Prom Dresses



Perfect fit to:

This is a fitted bodice shape with an A-line skirt. It hugs the waist, so it creates a slimmer waistline and flatters the bust. If you have wider hips, the A-Line will cover them up effectively and if you have narrower hips the cut of the skirt will give you some shape.

 

What to avoid:

The tighter bodice will tend to draw attention to a smaller bust so it will be more flattering if you add a little padding to balance the look. This can be with secretive padding added to the dress or a good bra. A heavy bust will need some structure - often this support is already built in to the bodice, but if not then boned corselette is a must.

 

Ball Gown Prom Dress
