About Versace

Versace was established in 1978 under Gianni Versace, but after his tragic death in 1997, Gianni’s sister, Donatella, became the creative force behind the fashions. This company boasts several lines, including:

  • Versace Jeans Couture
  • Versace Home Collection
  • Versus and Versace Collection

It’s no wonder that Versace prom dresses are in demand. After all, plenty of celebrities have lent their famous faces to the line, including:

  • Madonna
  • Ashton Kutcher
  • Demi Moore
  • Britney Spears
  • Christina Aguilera

With cache like that, its little wonder that this fashion line continues to inspire.

Versace Prom Dresses: Factors to Consider

To be sure, it’s quite a thrill to wear a designer’s label to prom, but at the same time, there are several factors you may want to consider before you purchase, including:

  • Price: Designer names definitely come with designer prices! Are you really willing to pay $2000.00 for a dress that you may only wear a handful of times?
  • Color: Color, and how well that color blends with your skin tone, is going to be a very important consideration. That’s because you don’t want to spend a bushel of money only to find out that the dress you chose clashes with your skin tone!
  • Fit: Fit, especially as it pertains to Versace prom dresses, may be even more important than the eventual color you choose. Are there any unsightly gaps? If this is a V-shaped dress, is the neckline too low? How does the dress look from every angle (this is where the three-way mirror comes in handy).

Lastly, don’t forget to sit in this dress to get a true feel for its length. Another fashion trick? In the dressing room, raise your hands over your head. This will tell you just how high the dress will "creep up" when it’s time to boogey down.

Time to Shop

Okay, you’ve considered all the factors and possible pitfalls, and know in your heart of hearts, that Versace is the only way to go. Get stared in your search by perusing some of the following online sites:

Neiman Marcus

Look sharp!

We begin at Neiman Marcus because you’ll only be able to find the top designers (for example, Versace, Prada, etc) at the high-end retail shops.

While it’s true that Versace does not make prom dresses, per se, they do make glitzy and fantastic party dresses. From this standpoint, the different styles one can choose from are enormous. In order to decide what look to focus on, think about:

  • A print versus a solid: No one does a graphic print quite like Versace can, but if you don’t think your personality can pull off one of their "loud" fashion pieces, choose a solid color. However, solid colors don’t necessarily mean boring, as evidenced by the Tiered Silk Dress in fuchsia. Fuchsia is a bold and sensuous color that always looks party appropriate. This dress comes with a cinched waist, gathered to perfection, to create the aforementioned "tiered"” look.
  • Sheath versus Body Hugging: Sheaths are timeless (think Jackie Kennedy or Audrey Hepburn), while body hugging dresses with a "down to there" neckline are eye catching, bombshell, material. Again, this all really comes down to what you are most comfortable wearing, as well as how much of your figure you are willing to show.

Bergdorf Goodman

Bergdorf Goodman also offers several Versace looks with a price range between $1650.00 to 2765.00, and all of the looks are stunning and surprisingly, very wearable. In addition, you’ll also find Versace shoes to help compliment your dress.

Saks Fifth Avenue

Last but not least, be sure to stop by Saks Fifth Avenue during your search. This legendary retailer offers several Versace looks, some in surprising colors, like the Draped Halter Dress ($1500.00) in Clementine. The most expensive dress here is the Jersey V Strap Gown that comes in at a jaw-dropping $4270.00.
