hi lo fashion trend

Our Dress of the Week for this week is Sherri Hill high-low dress 21168 because we absolutely love the way Kendall Jenner looks in it! Kendall and Kylie are the faces of Sherri Hill for Prom 2013, so it's no surprise to see Kendall rocking a Sherri Hill dress. But, we especially love the style and color of this dress on her! It shows off her beauty so perfectly.

She's been seen rocking the dress in everywhere from photo shoots to the runway. Check out some of our favorite pictures of her in the dress below!

Sherri Hill 21168 has thin straps that lead to a sweetheart bodice that is coated in glittering jewels and shimmering sequin adornments. The criss-cross detailing on the bodice makes for a figure flatting look. Kendall is always seen wearing the white/gold color, but it also comes in aqua/gold, black/gold, light blue/gold, nude/silver, pink/gold, and strawberry/gold.

We recently sat down with Cassandra Morris, the head writer of the Prom/Formal Dances section of About.com to talk all about prom, where she interviewed Marissa (owner of Rissy Roo's) to get the scoop on what's in style for Prom 2013! Marissa and Cassandra discussed everything from hot celebrities to get style ideas from, to what the 3 most popular dresses are at Rissy Roo's this season.

About: What dress lengths are hot for 2013: long gowns or short mini dresses?
Marissa: 2013 is seeing a trend towards hi-low dresses and mini dresses, long gowns will always be popular for prom, but we are seeing many of our more progressive customers leaning towards dresses that show off their legs and still offer a glamorous formal look.

About: What colors are Rissy Roo's shoppers all about this year?
Marissa: We have seen an increasing number of girls gravitating towards jewel colors this season, royal/sapphire blue, emerald, red, and rich purples. We are also seeing many shoppers that are staying on the more serene side with shades of blush and nude.

About: Which celebs do you think provide the biggest inspiration for prom shopping?
Marissa: Our customers are inspired by the style of Taylor Swift, Kylie & Kendall Jenner, and Selena Gomez.

 

It can be very exciting to start looking for your perfect prom dress, but if you don' t have an idea going in of what you want, it can also turn into a very long process! So, before you begin searching for your dream dress, start thinking about what type of dress you're looking for. We'll be posting more about different types in weeks to come, but below are some basics to think about while it's still early on in prom season. They are in no particular order, and you'll find that you have no preferences towards some of the different features - it's all about finding the few details that you know you want in your dress!

1. The most basic of all questions: Short Dresses or Long Dresses? If you have a preference one way or another to this, it's a quick way to weed out a whole bunch of dresses! If you go with long dresses, this opens up many more questions, as there's different style long dresses to choose from: mermaid, ball gown, and evening gowns. Of course, if you can't decide between the two, the trendy Hi-Lo dress look may be a good option for you - it's a nice way to get both looks in one! Best of all, most Hi-Lo dresses have detachable skirts, so you really can wear the dress both ways.

 

2. What color dress do you want? If you have a favorite color that you know you want to wear, this can be a great place to start. There's so many options out there when it comes to color, so you definitely won't find yourself limited!

3. Is there a certain style you want? Some examples to consider are: the classic Cinderella ball gown, an edgy Glam Rock look, Vintage, or rock some fringe in a Flapper style dress.

Another fun way to find your prom dress style is to take the many quizzes online that match your personality to a dress! Seventeen Magazine's "What's Your Prom Style" quiz is a great one to check out!
