2013 Homecoming & Evening Fashion Forecast.

    Our long island prom & formal wear dress shop prides itself on having the utter vanguard of trends. We want to supply you with the edgiest, unique and stylish gowns while other stores are only offering the same drab garments. Our staff does that by talking one on one with many of our designers and attending many of the fashion shows to see how makeup, embellishments and tailoring is being cultivated on the runway.

    After seeing the Spring 2013 Couture runways and many previews from our own evening wear designers we are seeing much of a the sophisticated high neckline with baroque tapestry like prints. It is a clean almost mod approach to what could be considered a romantic anachronistic aesthetic.

Chanel Spring 2013 Highlights

    Chanel brought an emphasis to the power of "sheer". Semi see through fabrics are utilized in a few different ways throughout the collection that has us fiending for what sexy hi-low styles we are going to be seeing on the sales floor come Homecoming! Prom designer Alyce has put out many lace illusion skirts in the past season and for that we tip our hat to them for being ahead of the trend!

LONG LIVE (Mc)Queen!

   The Pre-Fall 2013 collection introduced by powerhouse Alexander McQueen also had this modern vintage air. The cuts of this House's dresses were kept sleek and unencumbered with the occasional accent of tapestry print or pearl studs. This really was a demonstration in the power of a clean well tailored design. 

(Would you look at that, more high necklines! What did we tell you girls?!)

Here are some of our top picks to help you stand out as fashion forward with this trend at your social occasion!

Sherri Hill styles 21032 & 2814.

Both of these regal styles were debuted during New York Fashion Week and offer that one of a kind red carpet elegance paired with the figure flattering tailoring a skater dress has to offer.

If you enjoy these styles but want a floor length gown for your event consider these two styles:

2981 & 21064.

The floor length mermaid gown on the left reminds us of some rococo Palace of Versailles and would be classy enough for even a wedding! On the right, designer Sherri Hill features a ballgown style with similar  silver filigree that twinkles with rhinestones. We would suggest this style for a formal banquet or even for a sweet16 birthday girl looking to have a more elegant style to her party!
