F is for Formalwear
I told you guys on Friday that I’d be headed to the #MacysProm party the following day. Well, I went and had a great time. It has been over 15 years since I went on my own prom, but I still liked looking at the dresses. While some of the themes in styles of dress may have changed over the years some things never will. Prom dresses, for many girls are the first time they put on formal wear and get to look grown up and beautiful. However, there is still a desire (from parents) to keep them from looking too adult and keep cost down. Macy’s has not missed the mark. I think teens and parents will be quite pleased with what is being offered this spring. Parent’s especially since Macy’s has several dresses that are under $99. Here is a glimpse of what was shown on the runway.
 |
| Pretty in Pink is always a great theme for Prom. |
 |
| Princess, is another theme that never goes out of style. What girl wouldn’t want to feel like a princess? |
 |
| For the teen who is not a girly girl, she may love this Beautiful in Blue theme. |
 |
| Holywood, is a more modern theme. Think bold colors, cut out designs, and accessories. |
 |
| Vintage, was the last theme shown on the runway. Think pearls, lace, fur, embellishments and designs inspired by the Great Gatsby and the 1920s. |
 |
| These two were my favorite from the Pretty in Pink theme. The dresses are feminine and fun, but still youthful. |
 |
| I really liked this Beautiful in Blue dress. The back of the dress won me over. The cut out makes the dress more interesting without being too revealing for a teen. |
 |
| I am not normally a fan of dresses that are short in the front but long in the back. However, the ruffles make it work. They make it light and airy and full of movement! |
 |
| This White Vintage themed dress is elegant and classically beautiful. |
 |
| My overall favorite would have to bee this yellow Hollywood themed dress. I had hoped to wear yellow on my own prom couldn’t find a dress that worked me. If this were available back then this is what I’d have worn. It’s bright yellow and has just the right amount of bling. |

Macy's has such gorgeous prom dresses. When I went to Prom back when I was in high school that's where I got my dress 🙂
So pretty! I don't like the "mullet" style dresses either 😉
Princess style is ALWAYS in style with me. Man. This makes me want to go back in time and actually go to prom. These dresses are all beautiful!
I love the high-low dress with the ruffles! All is the dresses are lovely though. I went to the Orlando event and had a great time. I love that they use actual students to model the dresses in the show.
That sounds like an awesome event! I really love the vintage dresses!!
Macy's is such an awesome place. Those are some beautiful dresses.
That Blue one is beautiful! I love the silver and pink too!
I love the dress with the sequin bodice and flowy skirt. Very nice event to attend!
The dresses are so much cooler than my day! I'd wear these now!
This looks like such a fun even to attend! I loved shopping for my dress when I was younger!
so happy that they are making gowns for prom with some coverage- and still trendy and gorgeous!! i love the corals
What gorgeous dresses! I think my favorites are those in the coral tones.
This seems like it was a nice event. I have been in the midst of all things prom with my teenie bopper for months. It was good of you to share this.
What a fun show! These dresses are so gorgeous, I love the soft pink ones.
I am loving the blue dresses, especially the Beautiful in Blue! I wore royal blue to my own prom – but I would've rather had something like that.
In the second group of photos, the bottom pink dress. I LOVE it. I would wear it now if I had a reason. 😉
Oh my goodness, every last one of these dresses is stunning! I couldn't possibly choose a favorite. Maybe schools should have more than one prom! So many fab dresses, so little time!
LOL you springified your header! And I can't believe how informal prom is nowadays. Back them we did everything up!
The short white one in the "princess" section is such a sweet dress. I know girls like to look, hmm, perhaps a little too sophisticated, but I think that one is right on the mark. Love the pockets.
They have such pretty dresses! How awesome that they have affordable dresses, too. A friend of mine was talking about getting her daughter a dress and they were so pricey!
I had no idea Macy's did this! I wonder if my sister's Jump Apparel designs were in there, she designs Prom dresses!

What a fun event. All of the dresses are so pretty. I really like the yellow one too.
When I worked at Macy's I loved seeing all the girls shopping for their dresses. I DID NOT like putting them back on the hangers though lol!! Some girls woudl try on every dress in stock!
Very pretty dresses! Such a better selection than when I was in high school. I love that silver dress with the ruffle skirt!
Great dresses! I'm pretty sure Macy's may have been were I got my prom dress ages ago. haha!
I like how prom dresses are long and formal. I hope they stay that way for when my girls are ready for prom!
I have a few more years before I have to shop for prom dresses again. I love Macy's so hopefully my girls will be of 'normal' size and I will be able to shop here for prom.
I am going to have to share this post with my son's girlfriend. She has been having trouble finding the perfect prom dress! Thanks!
Wow – they have some amazing dresses at Macy's. I had no idea they even sold prom dresses let alone such nice ones.
