Southern Belle-Inspired Prom Dresses

You’ve got class, charm and etiquette – all as a true southern belle should. So, why not dress the part? If you’re heading to prom down south this season (or dreaming of warmer weather, rather), play up the persona of a true southern belle with our roundup of dresses that speak volumes. From elegant embroidery to tulle and tiers, these styles totally fit the status quo. Don't forget YELLOW

Take “southern belle” beyond just the traits, and weave in the trends: stand out in a corset ballgown with stunning feminine touches, especially around this time of year. A tulle ball gown skirt guarantees your entrance won’t go unnoticed; but, if you prefer to keep things simpler, opt for a flattering strapless prom dress. Pretty pale hues are always sophisticated, but you can’t go wrong with a pop of tiers, either!

Not into the tulle, fabrics, and embellishments; try the satin dresses! These ladylike looks are fabulous ways to state your presence gracefully. These satin looks show you’ve got both style and status, and when it comes to the shiny shades of yellow especially with an open back detail! 

Tiered skirts and bold prints are certain to command attention, but a southern belle always remembers to keep it classy: that’s why illusion, satin or sweetheart necklines are perfect for modesty. Embrace the sunshine in shades of pastel or bright whites, colors that complement any skin tone. So now you’re well-mannered, well-dressed and well beyond ready to take on prom – sounds like this southern belle of the ball has never looked better. Shop more prom dresses on CLV.com! Xo,
