Whether you’re headed to junior or senior prom in 2010, the start of a new year usually begins with the mad dash to start planning for this high school favorite event. While you’re in the midst of planning and shopping, you’re likely asking yourself this question: What’s the difference between a junior prom dress and a senior prom dress? Let’s talk about it now!
junior party dresses: Although they are fun and important events in your high school career, generally speaking, prom is a less formal event. Dresses for this prom are usually shorter, more modern, and much cheaper than what you would spend on your prom dress. These dresses are specially designed for girls between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, so they are also usually more modest and age-appropriate. In many ways, this dress will look more like a cocktail dress than a formal event dress. Most dress retailers and designers have special sections just for junior prom dresses, and as you browse through them, you’ll notice that there’s an obvious difference between their styles, cuts, shapes, and lengths. Since junior prom is only a year away from senior prom, try not to overspend. The dress you buy for the junior dance can also be worn to your homecoming dance during your senior year.
Prom dresses for seniors: Prom is the last major dance of your high school career, and apart from your high school graduation, it will also be the most memorable event. People tend to spend more money on the senior prom than on any other event during their four years of high school. Senior prom dresses are often more formal than their junior prom counterparts. Most teen girls will opt for longer dresses that are form-fitting, sophisticated, and elegant. While a junior ball gown can usually be worn to other semi-formal events, you’ll likely only wear your senior ball gown once. This ball is like the equivalent of a Hollywood red carpet event, so finding the most elegant and glamorous dress is extremely important.
