Prom Runway Trend: Statement Mini Dresses

Good things come in small packages at least when it comes to the Spring 2011 runway! Designers like Commuun, Juan Carlos Obando, and Nina Ricci all debuted daringly short mini dress. But what they lacked in length, they certainly made up for in style! From voluminous structural details to vibrantly-hued ruffles these sweetly short mini dresses certainly pack a big punch, and they're the perfect frocks to steal the spotlight come prom night! To get the look, pick a dress in a particularly vivid color like fuchsia, orange or turquoise the louder the better! Voluminous details like an oversized ruffled neckline or full skirt add an extra wow factor, but be sure to temper the look by keeping at least one aspect of the dress formfitting or by cinching the waist with a pretty belt. Keep the rest of the outfit simple the dress should be the main attraction with minimal accessories and unfussy hair and makeup.
