From LoveToKnow Teens

Not for the faint of heart, punk prom dresses are a unique choice in formal wear. There are few rules about color combinations, fabrics, and accessories when putting together a punk look for prom night.

Create Your Own Punk Prom Dress

You may wish to start with a normal prom dress. You can add your own alterations and touches to create the perfect punk look for you. Thrift stores are a good place to look for a one-of-a-kind dress to alter. Go for shiny fabrics and unusual textures.

Adding some plaid fabric to the sleeves, hem, or waist of the gown can take a normal prom dress into the punk realm. Sometimes combining pieces from two or three prom dresses is a good way to create a unique punk prom dress.

If you sew, you may wish to take a traditional prom dress pattern and make the dress from an unusual print such as camouflage, plaid, or pajama print. The traditional style expressed with an unusual fabric will create a stunning and eye catching punk prom dress.

Accessories Make the Look

Even the simplest little black dress can be punk with the right accessories. Hair, jewelry, and shoes are all part of the total look. If you do not have a lot of time or money to invest in creating the dress itself, go with a very basic dress and add unique accessories to create punk flair.

  • Hair can be dyed to match the prom dress or in a color that complements the dress. If you do not wish to color all of your hair, add stripes. You can also get a great new punk haircut to top off your punk look.
  • Shoes are an important touch to punk prom dresses. Whether you decide on stiletto heels or a more comfortable but less traditional shoe, there is no right or wrong choice for prom footwear when you are wearing punk fashions.

Where to Buy Punk Prom Dresses

There are stores that specialize in punk fashion, they are often local boutiques and sometimes you may be able to find a punk prom dress at your local mall.

Shopping online is another option to find one of these unusual dresses. Ebay has several stores among its online sellers that offer punk prom dresses.

  • Industrial Rain carries clothing and accessories for your entire alternative style needs.

Hi Jamie, The dress featured on this page was a stock photo- we don't know where to get this particular dress. It probably could be made easily- it is just a green tulle under-skirt.

I believe these dresses are very punk. They complement a person's inner rebellion side!
