Windsor Prom Dresses

From LoveToKnow Teens

Windsor prom dresses are not the typical formals that appear at most proms. Instead, these dresses are fun, funky and fearless.

Windsor Prom Dresses: The Style

When one thinks "prom", they usually envision a traditional dress. That is, one that’s long, comes in a solid color, and that "poufs" out slightly. Well, Windsor prom dresses are almost the exact opposite of that image.

These dresses are shiny and slinky, and some of them are even (gasp!), patterned. If you are tired of the traditional, and yearn for the unconventional, then this might be the perfect dress for you!

Before You Go Shopping

Before you head out the door, there are a few factors you may want to consider.

Style

What type of cut or style of dress works best with your body type? Do you have beautiful, delicate shoulders that you are just dying to show off? Perhaps your mile-long legs are your best feature? You may prefer to expose your back while keeping the rest of your body completely covered up.

It comes as no surprise, there is an endless array of different styles to choose from and deciding on two or three styles, ahead of time, will help to sort through that endless array of designs.

Note that it’s really best to choose more than one style. That’s because very often we think that a style, like a strapless number, will look great, only to try it on and realize that the reality is far from the fantasy! Having more than one style in mind means not having to suffer through a potential fashion meltdown later on.

Length

The length of a dress is every bit as important as the style of the dress. Some girls love the idea of a glamorous train that just seems to float across the floor. Others don’t want to spend the time picking up their dress whenever they feel like boogieing down on the dance floor. Two factors are important when it comes to deciding on the length of the gown:

  • Height: How tall are you? The taller you are, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to pull off a lot of "fabric". The shorter you are the more you run the risk of getting "lost" in that fabric.
  • Activities: What activities do you plan to do in this prom dress? In other words, will you be kicking up your heels and dancing all night long? Or will you be lounging in a cozy corner, sharing an intimate conversation between friends?

Obviously, the more dancing you plan on doing, the less fabric you’ll want because a lot of fabric tends to restrict the body. Those that plan on having a relaxed night can certainly afford to wear more "dress".

Colors

Color may be the most important factor when it comes to choosing a dress. The right shade can make you seem as if you glowing from the inside out. By that same token, the wrong shade can make the prettiest of girls look slightly garish.

That’s why it’s so important to choose a flattering shade. If you are having trouble deciding between colors, take a really good friend along (when you shop), and ask him or her for an honest opinion.

To Adorn or Not Too Adorn

Prom dresses can come with a lot of bells and whistles. There are sequins, bows, and jewel encrusted designs to choose from. On the other hand, there are plenty of dresses out there that let the dress peak for themselves, with just a well-placed sash or two to help move the conversation along.

Whichever camp you fall into, adorned or not, depends entirely on your own personal preference. If sequins look great on you, then buy a dress that embodies that look. If not, skip it and go for a dress that allows you to do the talking.

Exploring the Website: What to Expert

At the actual Windsor website, you’ll find four different styles of dresses:

  • Gloria Prom Girl: Gloria Prom Girl is a dramatic floor length, sleeveless dress with a scooped neckline that’s almost Egyptian in nature. This Middle Eastern influence is further felt by the styles’ keyhole bust line.
  • Giselle Prom Girl: This area is all about letting one’s inner gypsy roam free as enriched by the dress’ graphic, swirling pattern.
  • Tammy Prom Girl: Done as a shorter, flirty style of the Gloria Prom Girl, you’ll easily be able to dance the night away in this dress.
  • Brooke Prom Girl: Brooke Prom Girl is the final style offered by Windsor and it’s truly stunning. First, it’s a floor length gown, but the hem of the gown is slightly frayed to give it "movement". Second, the bodice of the gown is very form-fitting and features jewels all along its base for even further enhancement. Third are the actual straps of the gown that also come equipped with glittery rhinestones.

What you’ll really love about these four very distinctive looks is that Windsor takes much of the guesswork out of how to accessorize each look. When you click on an image, you’ll find the perfect coordinating jewelry, shoes and handbag to go with dress. The entire outfit, from top to bottom, has been designed for you right there on the page. Prices for these looks range from $139 to $179.

Putting It All Together

Windsor prom dresses are perfect for the girl who likes to standout from the crowd. Edgy and slightly eclectic, these dresses are fancifully whimsical and they perfectly capture the magic that is prom night. No matter what, Windsor style you choose, the look is sure to be memorable.
