What not to wear…

Promgirl.com sells a lot of cute dresses.  This is not one of them.

There’s something so classy about a black and white dress.  This one comes in sizes 4 through 30.  Because the dress wraps around and many of the lines are on a diagonal, I think it would be flattering on many different types of figures.

Available at Formals Express.  They ship to the United States only (see this article about mail forwarding if you are ordering from elsewhere).  If you’re looking for a dress under $100, see their formal dress sale section.

I especially like the chain strap detail on this sexy black and white dress.  The high placement of the waist and the vertical stripes will make the lower half of the dress look longer, thus making your legs look longer and adding height to your appearance.

Buy it when you shop online at marciano.com, which ships to the United States.  For Canadian orders, see shopmarciano.ca.  They also have women’s clothing stores you can visit throughout the United States and Canada.

Love the print on this black and white, short, sleeveless print dress and that little extra detail of the black ribbon of material above the hem.

What I love even more — the price.  This trendy dress is currently $31, and all the dresses at Great Glam appear to be under $40!  This is definitely the place to go for stylish affordable clothes.  They ship to the United States.

Animal print is *in* right now, as are big, bold prints.  This trendy zebra-print dress in black and white features a sheer overlay below the bodice.

Here’s a closer look at the the silk chiffon material and chain trim along the bodice:

This JS Collections dress is fantastic.  A lot of clothes tend to follow the same pattern, but this one is different while still being in line with current trends.  I love the sleeves on this, the little bows on the sleeves, and the piping; the black floral print against the white background is really exquisite.

Available at Barrie Pace which ships to the United States.  See their women’s clothing sale section, too.

Arietta has put some wonderful details into this dress (the sweetheart neckline, ruched waist, mesh overlay), and the black skirt in contrast with the color bodice with will have a slimming effect on all who wear it:

I love the print detail on the skirt, as well.  The color is listed as “pink,” but it looks more like a rose from this photo.  It’s also available in aqua, coffee, purple, magenta, and black and white.
You can get this at Zaftique.  They have a VERY weird sizing system, so refer to their sizing chart here.  They also offer plus size active wear and intimates, …read more

This fantastic dress is from the Alyce Designs Diva collection.

 
This is definitely not a dress for the retiring wallflower.  The white chiffon is decorated with beading, which you can better see in this close-up picture:

This beautiful dress by Alyce is available in sizes from 0 to 26.

There are so many amazing things about this dress — the black lace over the white background on the bodice, the white bow separating it from the rest of the black dress, the tight fit leading into the looser bottom portion — there’s a lot of detail, and each element flows into the next.  Love, love, love it.

JustAFormality.com reader, Andrea Ormes, left a comment recently asking for a dress with the following:

black and white
really long
strapless
really flashy but not too flashy

I’m not sure exactly what the last one means (flashy as in sexy and showing a lot of skin, or flashy as in showy and attention-grabbing, or something else?), so I’ll let you be the judge of the level of flashiness, but a long, black and white, strapless gown I can do.  Here are four:
1) Corsetted gown with hand beaded lace appliques, from Landa:

Available at Magic Moments Prom; they ship worldwide.
2) Faviana dress with cut-outs:
