PROM DRESS FABRICS

Not sure which prom fabric should you pick for your dress? The latest prom dress fabrics that are trending for 2024 are metallic, sparkly, chiffon, satin, and lace. But, each fabric offers a slightly different fit, depending on its stretchability. For example, a knitted jersey dress will be a bit snug, and a chiffon dress is more likely to have a stiff fit. Prom dress fabric types also affect how a dress will look on a particular body shape. A stretchy sparkly dress may be a good fit for an hourglass figure and may not flatter an apple or pear body type as much. However, a flowy chiffon gown will be perfect for the latter two. The embellishments on the fabric also play a significant role in deciding the fit of the dress. For example, beaded fabric for prom dresses should be chosen if you wish for a stiff fall or silhouette - rather than a snug one.
