Prom Dress Trends 2012: Which Will Work for You and Which Will Work Against You?

Fashion Week in New York, Milan and Paris brought us so many fresh dress designs and styles, we can hardly take it all in. We can't help but be mesmerized by the scrumptious textures, sheen, sparkles and sequins, not to mention the breathtaking colors. This year we noticed a whole palette of tertiary color mixtures we had never seen before; it was as if the designers were working with tubes of oil paints rather than the trusty Crayola 64 box. Some with names like Posuolli Earth and Pthalo Blue. Huh? But we loved them anyway, even if we can' t pronounce them!
Now that all the runway reports are in, thanks to our own Redcat, we can't wait to see what is in store for us when we head off to shop for our prom dress for the 2012 season. From the looks of it, my guess is we're going to be heading back to a more sophisticated look, dresses that take us back to the glamorous days of early Hollywood, where the men wore suits and the women wore gowns even during the day! That was glamour!
