Short Iconic Prom Dresses You'll Want To Be Seen In

Whether long skirts aren’t for you or you’re simply looking to mix things up, these iconic prom dresses promise to deliver! For example, the Chasing Dawn dress by Katie May. This dress is ideal for prom! Firstly, it may be shorter, but it still offers the right amount of drama with an asymmetric ruffle sash on the skirt. Also, the fitted sweetheart bodice, midnight blue hue, and spring-inspired florals are undeniably beautiful. Add the Stuart Weitzman patent leather sandals for an elegant finish.

Meanwhile, those in search of a length in between will adore the Iris strapless tulle dress by Jenny Packham. We adore everything about this dress. From the twisted, strapless bodice with cut-out detailing to the crystal-embellished waist and dramatic shade of fuchsia. It’s a sure-fire show-stopper made to showcase your style… and your heels! Therefore, we recommend making the most of its ankle-length skirt by matching it with the Eiko embellished sandals by Gianvito Rossi!
