Short Prom Dresses
Proms are a time for young ladies to have a good time and when it comes down to the dresses they wear, not everyone likes wearing long gowns. Some young women prefer shorter prom dresses that are easier to move around in but are just as elegant and chic as longer prom dresses. This also allows women to wear different styles of dresses and not be drones all wearing similar attire. There are plenty of styles to choose from as well with dress hems falling to the knees or slightly above it. The dresses below are just a small drop in the bucket of what is actually available in the category of short prom dresses.

A-Line Special Occasion Dress
Jessica McClintock has a beautiful line of prom dresses and this shortened, strapless design makes a fine option. The bodice features a square neckline with embroidering and the empire waist has a cute, contrasting band tied into a bow with a brooch at the center. The A-line skirt flares out and falls slightly above the knees. Ladies looking for shorter dresses should take a look at this designer’s collection.

Sequined Prom Dress
This gorgeous prom dress displays a shorter hem line and spaghetti straps that offers a fun and attractive look. The silk dress might be a little more expensive but includes round sequins throughout. The beautiful band and bow at the empire waist really finishes off the look. A little contrast in color would make the dress much better but it is still a good alternative.

Sparkling Dress
This Alfred Angelo dress does the opposite of the previous dress by adorning more sequins, beadings, and rhinestones towards the top. The violet, chiffon dress utilizes the strapless design to match with cocktail length hem for a lovely finish. The band and off center bow is an added touch. This makes for a very eye catching prom dress that is available through many outlets.
