While “window shopping” through our latest collection of evening dresses, we’ve noticed a trend that will surely be a hit come Prom and Homecoming season. Our esteemed and not to mention, clever designers gave Prom and Homecoming dresses a tasteful twist this 2013; thus, the birth of the 2-in-1 convertible dress. Get this, with one super dress, you can have two smashing looks for your special night –and, without the complication of having to follow a how-to manual.

Above dress by Mac Duggal (85172R) is one example of what we’re taking about. It has a full skirt, much like a gown. It looks more like a hi-lo dress and/or a dress that has a slit. Then, by simply removing the belted skirt, you get a glamorous short jumpsuit or mini dress. Fantastic, right?

Here’s another example of the said 2-look dress. It’s by Sherri Hill, and it’s one of our favorites.

Sherri Hill 21165

And even better, this lace number comes in two other stand-out colors.

Just a little tip, try the ball-gown look of the dress for your grand entrance into your Prom or Homecoming; take pictures with your lovely escort, slow dance, and such. Then later on in the night, transform for party mode in the sexy mini version of the dress. You’ll be able to move more freely and look more relaxed. To completely change-up the look, try changing your shoes and accessories. Imagine that; and more, your Prom pictures would be more fun to look at. Have we got you interested?

For pre-Spring 2013, topnotch designer, Reem Acra presents a collection more than worthy of the walk down the aisle AND the red carpet. This outstanding designer has fully transcended from Bridal to Hollywood. And this time she seems to be drawing in the younger crowd again. We imagine, with the colored-lace short dresses, the fluid caftans, the flowy and embellished tulle gowns, she will  attract the likes of Selena Gomez, Lea Michele, Dianna Agron, Vanessa Hudgens, Anna Kendrick, Emma Roberts, who not to mention, have already worn her creations.

Acra’s palette includes ivory and champagne, sugary pastels (peach and mint green), and jewel tones. Her pleating plus layering to make full skirts is genius. She perfectly balances pretty and polished, romantic and unique with her strategic positioning of lace and beads.

We’re neither a bride nor a soon-to-be Prom queen, but we’re loving on these dresses! We particularly love the ivory dress with sheer-laced sleeves (first row), nude dress with sheer-beaded sleeves and ruffles in the skirt (third row), and the peach dress with lace from bodice to skirt (fourth row). Which is your favorite?

Nina Canacci is the designer of choice for trendy yet elegant dresses. Whether for Prom, Homecoming, or Holiday parties, dress to impress with Nina Canacci‘s fun colors and youthful silhouettes.

And to feature some exquisite pieces from the brand, we here at MissesDressy.com took inspiration from the four elements: Earth, Fire, Water, Air.

Earth is full of a wide variety of rocks and minerals which allow growth of vegetation and support life. It is easy to think of earth as being solid dirt through and through, but in reality it is made up of several layers. Earth and its layers is glamorously represented in the Nina Canacci 5002 gown. The bodice with its silver and gold print shows the layers of earth, with the final layer being the sand-coloured shimmery skirt.

Fire creates light, heat, and smoke by a rapid chemical reaction called combustion. Create the same effect with Nina Canacci 4039. Just like fire, this hot pink dress is perfect for the lady who is fierce, passionate, and not afraid to stand-out.

Air, though invisible, is all around and needless to say, irreplaceable in sustaining life. Nina Canacci 4029 conveys similar qualities as air: light, pure, and silently powerful. Float in the subtle color and the light fabric yet knock ‘em out with the ‘hey look at me‘ sexy cut.

Water is fluid and sensual; and under the moonlight, very luminescent. Look absolutely stunning like the water goddess that you are in this midnight blue Nina Canacci 5004, with its glittering sequins.

So, tell us your favorite. Happy shopping!

Flapper style arose during the 1920s, when women became more rebellious and more tomboyish. Their dresses were shortened to their knees and usually adorned with a fringed layer of material. Unlike earlier times, the dresses did not accentuate their curves. In fact, they hid them. The declining use of a corset and the drop waist design of the dress made the women look less feminine. The women of this era enjoyed dancing to jazz music. The Charleston was one common dance in which women would dance in short flapper dresses and two to three inch heels.
The style of flapper women can be recreated today brought into a homecoming event!

Cloche hats were popular with flapper women. Here are some similar styles that imitate the cloche hat.

Several layers of long dangling pearl necklaces were also worn as an accessory by flapper women.

Of course, the final and most important piece of the outfit: the dress. Here are some drop waist dresses with frills. They recreate the boyish style of 1920s flapper dresses. These are all available at MissesDressy.com

Flappers danced in high heeled shoes that had a similar look to tap shoes. Here is a contemporary version of one.

Have you noticed dresses can be tricky these days? They are pretty, or edgy, but tricky. Say, you’ve found your dream dress for this holiday season and it’s such a fabulous dress, be it silk dress or backless or deep V-neck or cut out. Here comes the problem, what do you wear underneath?
We all want to look stunning and classy without exposing bras, panty lines, or any other body parts that are always insistent on making their own appearances.

Have you ever wonder how Blake Lively able to pull off her style even with daring outfits? Well, let’s reveal her secret…

Deep V-neck Dress

It’s flirty but you want to keep it classy. Pick a deep plunge bra, if your dress is light or sheer; simply pick nude color.

Cinched Waist

When you gain a bit weight or temporary bloated, this dress will make it obvious. But don’t worry because all you need is a cinched pair of high-waisted underwear to keep your middle section tight.

Cut Out

With this dress, you’d want to show off your sexy figure and perky cleavage. But what kind of bra can accommodate it?
Backless bra is the answer. Each cup of this bra sticks onto your breasts with a reusable adhesive, then fasten them up, and you’ll get instant cleavage!

Backless

A low back dress is stunning! Some people choose not to wear a bra, but it’s always best to wear a bra depending on the style of the dress. If the neckline is not so low, wear a low-back multi-way bra that can be worn in so many ways (picture: in pink), if the neckline is low or deep V-neck, backless bra will be a smart solution.

Slim Fit

You want to look perfectly fit in this dress. A full coverage bodysuit is the answer. It will make you look slimmer, give you instant cleavage, and basically enhance your whole appearance.

We hope this post will help you look fabulous on your special party. Choose the perfect underwear, wear the gorgeous dress, and dance the night away!
