Our Top Sellers This Week



 You will go gaga for the head-turning style of this Terani E2111 Evening dress! Yard upon yard of impossibly soft, fine material drapes to the floor on the skirt, which also features a sultry side slit. The finely shirred bodice is topped off by a glitzy, richly detailed neckline. A broad, finely ruched band punctuates the fitted midsection.




 A sultry beautiful halter evening dress by Terani is a knockout number. Material drapes ones body as elegantly as the front and back creates a bedazzling effect. Sheer fabric at open back with incredibly intricate beading makes for a masterpiece. Front open halter mimics back beading detail with center triangular lace overlay that highlights this luxurious look. Long round train completes this fabulous creation. 







This formal design by Terani E1784 Evening is simply stunning. Medium straps secure the deep V-neckline, and expert construction styles a custom fit at bust and midriff. Delicate, embroidered vines design tone-on-tone embellishments, and dazzling crystals provide brilliant accents. Tiny leaves drizzle past the dropped waist, where the finely pleated skirt streams to a soft, floor-brushing finish.



You`ll get a lot of fanfare when you show up in this artfully designed Jovani 1531 mermaid gown! Its impeccably designed illusion bodice is spiced up by floral lace accents and a crisp sweetheart neckline. The dropped waist gives way to a boldly flared skirt with tiered layers of ethereal material.



Make a sophisticated fashion statement in this formal by Terani E1783 Evening. Elegant bead embroidery details the strapless, sweetheart bodice, with showy crystal accents adding glints of delightful light. Embroidered edging adorns the empire waist, and the layered skirt flares to feminine flutters that brush the hips with a feathery embrace, flowing to a flurry at full-length.

“The Ultimate Gold Collection,” Celebrity Fashion Report.

    May has been a startling confirmation for all the ladies purchasing champagne & gold tones from our long island evening wear store for prom! 


  The Cannes annual film festival featured it's Cleopatra-esque high fashion runway "The Ultimate Gold Collection" showcasing dresses from top designers such as Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, Dior, Givenchy, Burberry, Luis Vuitton, Versace, Prada, etc. 40 all star models ( Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Karolina Kurkova, Karlie Kloss, Alessandra Ambrosio etc )strut down the runway in honor of the great Elizabeth Taylor shimmering in their warm tones & glittering jewelry...  

   Some of our most popular dresses sold this year from designers such as Terani, Jovani, Sherri Hill & even MacDuggal were purchased in shades of gold, nude & champagne. One shade in particular really seemed popular among the prom girls , what we have called "rose gold". A gold tone sequin that sparkles with hints of blush & pinks. 


    Formal wear designer Primavera Couture really put out some impressive designs offered in this colorway.Noted is Style 9490 ( the utter show stopper ), featured a unique lattice work open back with harlequin diamond contrasting sequins . Another style from this designer that came in the "rose gold" sequin color was the 9468. This prom dress offered an asymmetrical flare with a single side cut out and zig-zag cut hem. From where the sequins end to the floor the dress sways with a semi sheer netting.

Miss Universe Pageant-dress Fashions.


 Merrily Couture carries many of the dresses showcased on the Miss Universe evening gown portion of the pageant. From classic mermaid silhouettes to avaunt-guard lace cut outs like what was seen on Miss Greece 2012! These girls come from all over looking to appeal to the tastes of an international audience and crew of judges, so when they choose their gowns its a life or death sort of matter! Thats why we pride our selves on carrying dresses that meet this global standard in the best and most unique evening wear fashions. We know a unique dress might cost more than you may like but its a guarantee that you will stand out and make an impression anywhere, even prom!

One of our most prominent and popular designers in our NY shop is MacDuggal. In the 2012 Miss Universe pageant along *SIX* contestants were wearing his designs. 

 Costa Rica, Nazareth Cascante
 Costa Rica, Nazareth Cascante. & Great Britain, Holly Hale.


 Ghana, Gifty Ofori & Jamaica, Chantal Zaky.

Peru, Nicole Faveron & Slovak Republic, Lubica Stepanova


Of the 85 contestants in their gorgeous formal dresses we saw a good deal ( 39! ) sporting the color of the season - champagne!  Warm touches of gold shimming in finely crafted beaded appliques and subtly warm ivory chiffon taking on the hues of the nearby light just make this color scheme a breathtaking choice. Of course, it seems most people know that already as nearly half of the pageant was wearing it in some form or another. 

Shown above is Serbia in a structured bodice with flared peplum and fitted miniskirt. 
The romantic red cocktail dress featured a dramatic long train that followed behind her.
 A great style for showcasing long legs!

A close second for these fashion forward models was shades of red. About 16 girls were sporting a bold "come hither" shade that were not to be overlooked! Several other contestants were wearing similar tones of magenta and orange that also resonated with this color family. A classic red will never go out of style. It is as timeless as a chic black dress and the glamour of old hollywood!


Recently we have been picking up some sexy hi-low styles like what Serbia was sporting for our own long island prom shop. Our most popular has been a crystal pink barbie like dress with it's overskirt made from a semi-sheer tulle. Light as air! We posted this cute picture of our customer on our instagram recently wearing it!

Overall, if we had to give you our fashion forecast for the 2013 prom fashion season based on the Miss Universe Pageant we would say you need to try on some nude/champagne/gold dresses and avoid greens and prints like the plague! There was only ONE printed dress this year and it certainly stood out like a sore thumb amongst all the other red carpet couture dress. Sorry, Panama!
