Mermaid Prom Dresses 2018

The mermaid dress: the ultimate formal dress silhouette that has seen a huge surge in popularity, and it's all down to a renewed love for flaunting our curves! The mermaid gown is a beautiful option for prom. It creates a subtle hourglass look that makes any woman look gorgeous. It's elegant, it's sexy -  all in the right measure.

With a flared fishtail end, the mermaid prom dress brings plenty of drama to the table. It also allows you to experiment with a different kind of neckline, as it doesn't have a big impact on the overall 'curve-hugging' look. That means you're free to wear long sleeves, a sweetheart shape or halter neck - basically anything you desire.

Another big pro is that it creates a balanced look. The bodice hugs your figure and the skirt remains body-con until around the knee. Then it flares boldly. This achieves a glamorous and harmonious look for any prom-goer. The mermaid dress is firmly attached to a red carpet feel - it feels almost regal to wear and is perfect for a special formal occasion.

Brides have recently been gravitating towards this flattering dress silhouette too. There's just something so timelessly elegant about the womanly shape it effortlessly creates. The mermaid dress is also ideal for those who are less confident in heels - as you'll probably get away with tucking a pair of flatter shoes underneath the big tail of the gown. 

Prom style should be classic and formal, while also referencing fashion trends. This mermaid style allows you to bridge that gap, ticking all of the boxes for a memorable moment in your fashion timeline - that will always be a happy occasion to look back on.
