How to Choose a One-Shoulder Dress for Prom
When it comes to choosing a one-shoulder dress for prom, you’ll want to consider the stunning styles available to see which type suits you best. Let’s consider the two types of one-shoulder prom dresses below.
1. One-Strap Prom Dresses: With only one strap, this type of one-shoulder prom dress offers a chic asymmetrical style that bares both shoulders. Choose a prom dress with one thick shoulder strap if you need more bust support, or go for a thin strap for a delicate, alluring effect.
2. One-Sleeve Prom Dresses: This type of one-shoulder prom dress bares one shoulder while completely covering the other. For the most demure and elegant effect, go for one long sleeve on your prom dress. The long sleeve can be fitted and snug, billowing softly until cuffed at the wrist in a bishop style, or open and flowing like a cape sleeve. The short style of a one-sleeve prom dress also comes in a variety of designs. A short ruffle sleeve is naturally flirty, a cap sleeve is sophisticated, and a single puff sleeve is the latest trend.
Whether you go for a single strap or sleeve, there’s no denying that one-shoulder dresses are in this prom season. The perfect balance between classy and alluring, one-shoulder prom dresses are tough to resist...so don’t!
