As more and more high schools tense up clothing code for prom, students are turning to cheap two piece prom dresses as the solution. Not only are they more affordable, but they also tend to be conservative, complying with the dress codes on most schools.
Today's robes are all about selling sex appeal. It is very difficult for a teen or 16 year old girl to find a dress that is appropriate, a dress this is not too sexy on one hand, and isn't little girly on the other. The perfect dress is a happy medium of sophisticated, and classy, not trashy, and that is surprisingly hard to find, in shops at least.
That's where vintage comes in. Resale and vintage stores have a great selection of robes that are perfect for prom. While vintage robes are more conservative, with modest necklines, and longer hems, they are far from matronly or frumpy. Many vintage robes rely on high quality fabrics, and good construction to manufacture a complementing and figure enhancing shape, instead of disclosing skin to be sexy. It's all about the suggestion of what is underneath, the conspiracy and allure that makes them appealing.
You don't have to be half nude to be sexy.
And since so many contemporary designers are creating vintage inspired robes, they actually look very modern. All over runways, and fashion periodicals, we are seeing retro looks. Louis Vuitton and Prada are both showcasing a 1950s inspired ad campaign. Retro glamor, a la Marilyn Monroe, Brigit Bardot, and Audrey Hepburn, is the in look, and perfect for prom. A classic dress won't look old fashion, it will actually look avant garde, and modern, as you just arrived off the runway, or also, out of a fashion journal.
And it is possible to more benefits to wearing a classic or resale prom dress. Not only will you look amazing, and comply with clothing code, you can also save a lot of money of money. Vintage robes and resale designer robes tend to be much more affordable than what you'll find in shops, usually around 30 % of the price.
You won't have to worry about anyone else having the same dress. One of the biggest fears at prom is that some other girl is going to be wearing the same dress you are, and worse yet, that she's going to look better in it than you do! If you wear a classic dress, this certainly won't be significant. Instead, everyone will be talking about how unique your dress is, and how amazing you look. You won't even hear "I almost bought that dress! inch. Or "I saw that in the store too! inch.
Wearing a classic or resale dress to prom can save you from so many of the prom disasters. You won't have to worry about being turned away for not complying with the dress code, you won't have to worry about another girls wearing the same dress, and with all the money you save, you'll even can get nice hair and make up done!
