Evening Gowns

The simple, elegant evening gowns, made of light satiny fabrics are a favorite of many. These gowns may be strapless or feature a V-shaped neckline and spaghetti straps. A simple ribbon sash at the waist gives way to a floor length skirt that may or may not feature a slit up the front or a small train in the back. You can find these prom gowns in bright, vibrant colors or soft pastels, and they are great for showing off a long, slender figure.

Ballroom Gown

For a little more drama, the ballroom gown features a full skirt, supported generally by layers of tulle. These evening gowns may include simple tops or tops with a little more drama, such as organza draping, puffy chiffon sleeves, or even a sexy strapless style. This is a great gown for proms, weddings, or even any evening affair. Today's ballroom gowns are made with new, modern lines and fabrics.

Short Gowns

In the past, evening gowns were defined as floor length dresses. This is a thing of the past. Today, an evening gown can be a short dress, with a hem landing anywhere between the hips and knees. These dresses are every bit as formal as a floor length gown, generally featuring shiny, satiny fabrics, jeweled beading, dramatic necklines, and vibrant shades of bright colors, blacks, and ivories. You may choose a simple style that shows off your natural beauty and elegant lines, or you may opt for a modern style that features layers of organza, tulle, or layers of jeweled beading.

In fact, some of these short gowns come with a removable train, offering you the best of long, glamorous evening gowns and short, sexy cocktail dresses. This option is even available for brides seeking a classic bridal gown with a party dress built in for the freedom to dance and move at her wedding reception. Lace, beading, jewels, and a dramatic neckline make each gown beautiful and unique.

Something for Everyone

The wonderful thing about today's fashions is that there are many more than one or two acceptable styles. You can choose the length, style, color, and fabric that best suits your sense of personal taste and your own body type. Long or short, simple or ornate, brightly colored or featuring simple black and white, there is a wide variety of gowns from which to choose. The world of evening dresses is one of elegance and diversity, giving every woman a chance to feel and look beautiful and elegant.
