A-LINE

The universally-flattering a line evening gown forms the shape of an A, and is ideal for all body types and dress tastes, whether yours is bohemian/artsy, classic/traditional, modern/trendy, or a special occasion in between. Consider the A-line as a long dress or short dress shape halfway between sheath/straight and ball gown silhouettes. With classic, easy-to-wear lines, A-line long floor length or short formal dresses flatter all body types (especially plus size A line prom) because the fitted bodice highlights your narrowest point (your waist), and the skirt is gradually flared to the floor.

LACE

Gowns with lace are considered a timeless, feminine fabric used in the world of special occasions or as lace wedding dresses because there are so many ways to wear it. Lace formal dresses look stunning with both chunky beading as well as light and ethereal sparkle for long and short prom dresses. Lace is a delicate fabric due to its see-through and intricately embroidered patterns; if thick enough, lace’s structure will hide all your body flaws and sins. Soft, stretchy lace is used for long or short lace body con styles and homecoming dresses. ALYCE Paris has the perfect lace prom dresses.

OPEN BACK/BACKLESS

Backless or open back dresses are exposed, paired most often with adjustable or strappy up tie backs. A backless formal evening dress is sure to guarantee a dramatic exit.

PLUS SIZE

People with plus size frames (AKA curvy bodies) can have a variety of body shapes, too. This is why ALYCE Paris has been making plus size prom dresses from 000 up to size 32 for over fifty years. ALYCE Paris inclusive collection of plus size prom gowns and plus size mother of the bride dress styles are offered in an array of plus sizes to accommodate all people and special occasions - from the red carpet to the dance floor.

SEMI FORMAL

For semi formal dress codes, think one step less fancy than a prom or black-tie formal gala. At most schools, homecoming is a semi formal dance, so dark suits aren't necessary - but high heels might be! Going to a wedding party? For semi formal wedding attire, your formal dress as a wedding guest might be a cocktail dress that pairs with the wedding party’s dress shirts and trendy bow ties. Cocktail dresses are often just short formal dresses in a particular style trending by color or fabric. Long dresses, short dresses - our perfect party dresses make you feel confident AND feel comfortable on the dance floor - for any body type, including plus size mother of the bride dresses!

SHORT PROM DRESS

Short prom dresses are perfect as wedding guest, cocktail dress, or graduation dresses. Short dresses come in many silhouettes like short ball gowns, party dresses, homecoming dresses, and knee length dresses. Short sparkling sequins dresses are the perfect prom dress for those who want to go all out. The ALYCE Paris collection of short formal dresses are great on so many body types.

TULLE

Channel your inner ballerina! Tulle is very sheer, light, and delicate fabric used often in long formal A-line evening dress, ethereal ball gown styles, and snowball dresses. Tulle skirts (or ‘poofy dresses’) are most associated with full skirts with stiffer netting underneath so the skirt keeps its fairy tale shape for the princess prom dress or wedding dress of your dreams. Insider pro tip: for those who don’t want such a poofy dress style look, cut out the crinoline netting under the lining so the tulle prom dress skirt loses volume.
