Formal Christmas Dress Ideas for Teens

christmas dance dresses

Formal events, such as proms and school dances, are exciting for teens. One of the best parts of the evening is showing off your christmas dance dresses. You want to pick a dress that fits your body type so you don't spend all evening tugging and adjusting. Dare to be flirty and fun with an off-the-shoulder dress or go more classic with an A-line bodice. Whatever style you choose, make sure it fits your taste so you feel comfortable while partying the night way.

Strapless formal dresses are more of a throwback to old Hollywood --- think Marilyn Monroe. To make the classic look more extravagant, choose a dress containing sequins, beads and crystal details. Strapless dresses are appropriate for teens of all sizes. Teens on the smaller side can choose to wear a body fitting strapless gown to accentuate curves, however, skip the more mature skin tight dresses that may have you tugging all night long. Teens on the curvier side can opt to wear a strapless gown with an A-line bodice to flare away from any troublesome areas. Add a knitted shawl and you're ready to go.
Full length gowns aren't the only dresses that say glamorous. If you've got great legs, show 'em. Shorter styles are in fashion every season and are an appropriate look for a teen formal dress. Be bold with a shape-to-the-form strapless gown or go flirty with an above the knee full skirt. Take a page out of the old school Hollywood styles and wear a short, one shoulder strap dress. Elongate your gorgeous gams even more with a pair of heels and you're ready for a night of partying.
Give in to the fairytale and go for a full formal dress. Formal dresses come in several designs, including strapless, short sleeved or halter style. Add to the Cinderella theme by including items such as a sequined sash and elbow length gloves. Take the look up a notch with a sequined tiara. This look is for the romantic teen who loves a happy ending. For those looking for a little less extravagance, consider a refined layered dress with ruching fabric, such as satin and taffeta to create that fuller bodice.
Dare to be different. Combine a few ideas to create the ideal prom dress for you. For instance, go with a floor length dress that flares at the bottom and has a tight bodice to show off your curves. Skip the solid colored dresses and make a statement with a patterned gown. Mix and match bold colors, such as pink and tan for a one of a kind formal dress.
