Popular dresses this prom season were the short version that included a back tail so it gives a less formal look. Popular also this year to add color to pale dresses was spray tanning this season.
Prom has its origins from the early debutant balls were young women would be promenade into a fancy social and could be formally introduced to society wearing a beautiful dress. The Great Gatsby movie reflected part of this early era and of course not all that glitters is gold as the character played by Robert Redford found out. (Paxton, 2000). The most important aspect of prom for most parents is to see their young adults sharing a good time among their peers. Classy prom dresses still rule for today's baby boomers Millennials. Great to see schools alternating prom celebration dates so one of kind items could be found on sale. Prom took a more down to earth approach after the 1950's in the post war era were college and high school seniors parties exhibited just as much glamor and the atmosphere was more relaxed. Some online shops had the formal prom dresses with removable tails and a great choice since the tail could be removed for the after prom party. The activity became a celebration for academic work accomplished and a chance to have a great time prior to entering the adult world most would be facing. There were also lots of sparkly embellishments and of course the parents must have been just as thrilled.
