top-prom-dress-designers-for-2020
Each year sees new trends and classic styles at prom, and seeing all the different fashion choices at the big event is part of the fun—as long as no one else is wearing your dress! This year, dresses may feature beading, lace, sequins, or metallic looks. They can be form-fitting or floaty. One thing all terrific prom dresses have in common is a great designer. Let’s take a look at the top prom dress designers for 2020.
Jovani
Elegance is the word that sums up Jovani prom dresses. In 2020, Jovani is showing a lot of lace, pale and pretty metallics, and a smattering of sequins. Jovani stays in front of prom trends this year with two-piece, cut-out, and crop-top styles; mermaid shapes and floaty fit; and flare dresses in lovely, feminine colors. You’ll see florals, feathers, and high-low hems. Whatever your style or body type, you are sure to find an elegant dress that will flatter your figure and look great both in person and in all your pictures.
Mac Duggal
Dramatic, feminine. and red-carpet worthy are some of the words that describe Mac Duggal’s collection of prom dresses this year. Touching on 2020 trends by using ruffles, tiers, feathers, and sequins, Mac Duggal also gives a nod to mermaid and A-line silhouettes. Contemporary touches like pockets, sequins, and candy colors mingle with classy touches like illusion or cap sleeves and full-bodice gowns. Mac Duggal’s line is fun, a little flirty, and diverse enough for many body types and color preferences.
La Femme
The name says it all—“La Femme” means “the woman,” and these dresses are gorgeous: unfussy, flattering, and vibrant, just like you. You’ll see that La Femme has picked up 2020 trends in colors, with bright neons in the line as well as the crop-top and cut-out trend. Tiers, A-lines, and thigh-high leg slits are for the confident young woman who knows that the woman wears the dress, not the other way around.
Alyce Paris
With shimmery satin, floaty chiffon, crop-tops and cut-outs, hi-low hems, neon colors, and even jumpsuits, Alyce Paris coves all the 2020 prom trends. Great variety in this collection means you’re sure to find just the right dress in the style and color you love.
Faviana
Shimmer, glamour, color, and cut. What more could you want? How about gorgeous gowns for gorgeous goddesses? Faviana presents a full line of dresses in all sizes, including plus sizes for the full-figured prom queen-to-be. There’s no compromise in style with dresses that flatter any figure and feature sequins, full bodices, V-necks, crop-tops and cut-outs, and lovely, floaty florals. Mermaid silhouettes are here along with taffeta and lace. Off-the-shoulder and strapless dresses round out the line. Gowns are available in a wide range of colors.
Terani
Attention to detail, luxury, and quality are what Terani prom gowns are all about. You’ll find all the trends—ruffles, tiers, mermaid, and form-fitting—represented in this line of red-carpet-worthy dresses that stand out as glamorous and elegant. Terani features colors both bright and soft, so you can find the shade that flatters your hair, eyes, and skin. You’ll find hi-low hems, some with fun, poufy silhouettes, and cocktail-length dresses that provide glamour and comfort. Florals, sequins, and ombré are among the colors and patterns you can select.
Portia and Scarlett
From pageant to prom in a full range of sizes, Portia and Scarlett gowns are cutting-edge designs from Down Under. This Australian brand has built a reputation in the pageant world and has broken out to international acclaim. These designs make any woman feel glamorous and beautiful, and you’re sure to find a statement dress that respects your shape.
Effie’s features all these top prom dress designers and more and recommends you start your prom dress search early for the widest selection. Before you set out to shop, think about the following considerations.
- Style and fit: Your height and the shape of your body are key factors in selecting a gown that flatters you and that will be comfortable through a long night of dining and dancing. Choose from form-fitting, A-line, or even two-piece, crop-top styles, according to what type makes you feel fabulous and free to move around on the dance floor.
- Length: Length options abound in prom dresses, from cute above-the-knee cocktails and party dresses to full-length gowns. Hi-low hems—short in front and long in back—are still in style, and designers are coming up with new ways to have fun with hemlines, like ruffles and pouf effects.
- Color: This year you’ll have more choices than ever among a full spectrum of colors, including multicolored and floral pattern dresses. From shimmery, shiny solids to sequin patterns, you are sure to find the perfect shade to bring out your eyes, flatter your skin tone, or highlight your hair.
- Shoes: Don’t choose a gown without thinking about the shoes you will wear with it. Once you have an idea of what kind of dress you’re looking for, consider heel height, strappy styles, or pumps and how they may affect comfort when dancing.
- Size: Standard sizes rarely fit any woman perfectly; you’ve probably learned from experience that you’re somewhere in between sizes, and that some brands run small or large on you. When it comes to prom dresses, if you fall in that in-between area, choose the larger size and let your seamstress make alterations.
- Time: You want your dress to fit perfectly on your big night. Leave plenty of time to receive your dress and take it to your favorite tailor or seamstress (and you will have made an appointment weeks in advance to secure their time during prom season) to adjust length and fit for comfort and freedom of movement. Start shopping for shoes as soon as you have selected your dress, and bring the shoes with you to every fitting.
