But the formal prom dresses that you'll find this year combine the best of all styles rolled into each gorgeous dress ~ glamor, sophistication, elegance and loads of personality. Formal prom gowns are made in rich fabrics such as satin, silk and orgamza and are showing more interesting details such as subtle beading, delicate embroidery and ruching or soft gathers. Elegant lace in a contrasting color on the bodice of a strapless gown or along the skirt hemline is popular on formal prom dresses.
