Prom Dresses

Prom season is finally here and every week we are posting the most popular trends of this year! This week, it's all about sequins! This old Hollywood look has been making a comeback, and is definitely a show stopper. If you want to stand out from the crowd, this trend is a great choice!

Check out our favorite sequin dresses below:

1. Flirt by Maggie Sottero P7782 Sequin Evening Gown - This sequin gown features a unique cowl neckline and a sexy low back with criss-cross straps making it an equally stunning exit.

Finding a dress that has the always popular high slit is a great way to infuse some extra sexiness to the sequin look. You'll certainly grab everyone's attention! With this trend, you might want to tone down the jewelry. Too much glam can be overkill!

1. Primavera 9500 Fuchsia Evening Gown - Dance the night away in this sequin embellished dress with low open back and straps, hi slit, and slight trail.

2. La Femme 18918 Black Evening Gown - Gorgeous sequined gown with a sweetheart neckline, beautiful rhinestone belt at the natural waist and a slit on the side.

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.

Check out some of the questions below, and Click Here to read the full interview on About.com!

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.

The 55th Annual Grammy Awards were held at the Staples Center on Sunday, February 10th, and the show was amazing! All of the acts were great, but we were so blown away by Taylor Swift's ode to Alice in Wonderland opening number. Of course, our eyes were glued to the red carpet, though, watching all of the ladies' fashionable outfits! Check out our favorite four looks below:

We loved Carrie Underwood's black embellished mermaid gown. It was such a classy look, and so perfect for prom! Our favorite number to get a similar look is Night Moves style 6652. It's a sexy, mermaid shaped gown with a strapless, sheer bodice. Crystal and beaded lace appliques accent the gown throughout that give it a similar embellished look to Carrie's gown.

Alicia Keys rocked the cut-out look in such a classy way! Especially after Grammy attenders were told that their outfits must be more modest this year, Alicia still looked sexy and showed some skin in style. For a similar look, we love Dave & Johnny style 8723. It's a long black matte jersey dress with side cut outs and a beaded bust and straps.

Green has been a very popular color this year ever since Pantone announced that Emerald Green is the 2013 Color of the Year. So, even though it wasn't the official Emerald Green, we loved that Katy Perry rocked a sexy mint green gown at the Grammy's. To get a similar look, check out Flirt style PF4150. Elegance and glamour definitely steal the show in this sexy ball gown that features beautiful cascading jewels. It has a caught-up skirt with a high front slit and corset back closure that adds to the drama.

Beyonce Knowles stole the red carpet rocking a black and white jumpsuit, rather than the usual gown. She looked absolutely stunning and classic, as it hugged every curve of her body. Jumpsuits are definitely going to be one of the new trends this prom season, so we were amazed to see Beyonce rocking the look! One of our favorite prom jumpsuits that remind us of Beyonce's is Claudine for Alyce style 2232. We love it because while you can be different by rocking a jumpsuit, you can still get the classic gown look with the long overskirt that comes with it.

For this week, our Dress of the Week is Shail K. style KK3133L in honor of The Bachelor now being back on the air for Season 17! The Season Premiere aired on January 7th, and the second episode aired earlier this week on Monday, January 14th. This season, The Bachelor that all the ladies are vying for is Sean Lowe - a 29 year old entrepreneur from Dallas, TX.

We picked this gorgeous Shail K. gown as our Dress of the Week because Jackie Parr, one of the ladies on the show, wore the dress on the Season Premiere! Jackie, a 25 year old cosmetics consultant from Ormond Beach, FL, couldn't have looked more stunning as she met Sean for the first time. She must have left a lasting impression because in both the episodes so far, Sean gave her a rose! We can't wait to see what happens in the coming episodes!

Shail K. style KK3133L is a hand beaded gown that fits like a glove and accentuates your curves. It has a sexy high front slit and comes in 3 colors: Bronze, Ivory/Silver, and Platinum. Jackie wore the Bronze color on The Bachelor.

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!
