Short Prom Dresses

Make this year's prom unforgettable with prom dresses from Macy's. Besides our usual array of juniors' clothing, we also carry long and short prom gowns, all designed for maximum impact. Some of the most popular styles are short prom dresses, which make it easy to dance the night away. But before you start shopping for short fancy dresses, here are a few things to keep in mind.

Short Prom Dresses vs Long Prom Dresses
What makes the best prom dresses different from other juniors' dresses? It's that unquantifiable "wow factor." Long prom dresses deliver this quality with floor-sweeping hemlines and princess-like silhouettes. However, junior short prom dresses go in the opposite direction. They make an impact with sequins, embellishments, appliqués, and all manner of decoration. Also, leg-baring designs are bound to stand out. If you're not really the princess-gown type, or if you'd rather have less fabric (i.e. less hindrance to your movement), a prom mini dress might be right for you.

Find Your Prom Dress Style
Now that you've decided on a short prom dress, you're going to want to narrow down the field. Here are a few ideas: sequin prom dresses catch the light as you move, which is a plus when you're out dominating the dance floor. These are far from the only sparkly prom dresses we carry, though. Short sleeveless prom dresses in metallic fabrics or glittery knits also bring extra shine to your prom look. Are you unsure where to start when it comes to your dress color? Short pink prom dresses brighten up your look. Other in-demand hues include jewel tones like cobalt and emerald. However, if you prefer dark colors, short black prom dresses are classics and always look chic.

Shop Macy's and find the best short prom dress that suits your style.
