The full prom skirt has become a norm for special occasion wear. The bare shoulder prom look dress is making way for the ladylike silhouette of the one shoulder dress. The bandeau bustier bare shoulder look has been in vogue for bridal and evening dresses for over a decade. Time to move those occasion dresses and prom gowns on into the next fashion decade of the twenty-teens. 2010 will be here before you know it.

The newer dress styles favour more interesting one-shoulder detail or attention-grabbing skirt layers. Tops, swimsuits and floor length maxi gowns are all a sign of the strength of this trend.
