Spend some time learning what constitutes a prom dress to narrow down your choices. Some fabrics may appeal to you right away.
Know that different fabrics drape better than others and look better on different shapes. Organza falls nicely and works well for long dresses as it creates a nice line when it drapes.
Silk: Silk is a captivating classic choice for a prom dress. It is shimmery, elegant and always in style.
Charmeuse: Charmeuse has a floaty appearance which drapes beautifully making it an excellent choice for prom dress material. It is silk with a satin finish and like most prom dress material is extremely fragile.
Tulle: Tulle is the material that tutus are made of. It is a net like fabric often used in layers under a prom dress to add bulk.
Taffeta: Taffeta is a stiffer fabric choice for prom dresses, but makes lovely shorter dresses when combined with tulle underlays. Dare to be delightfully different with a taffeta prom dress.
Chiffon: Chiffon makes a beautiful statement and flows nicely over the body. Often used in layers for prom dresses, chiffon creates a sugary sweet look. Chiffon prom dress is shimmery and looks like closely woven netting when looked at closely. Iridescent chiffon makes any girl look like a gem.
