Every girl looks forward to her prom - the dinner, the dancing and the evening of a lifetime. Of course, in order to get there you need to have the perfect hair, makeup, and not to forget, the perfect dress. Prom dresses have changed over the years, and you need to know the trends for 2008 when picking out your special dress, after all this is one of the most important nights of your life.

For years chiffon dresses have been the staple dress of prom night. With all the layers, fitted bodices and an array of colors it's easy to see why this style has stood the test of time. Spring designers have even begun showcasing these dresses on their runways. If timeless and classic is your look then a chiffon dress may possibly be the dress for you.

Red is a striking color, especially in a prom dress. If you are a person who demands attention a red prom dress may be right for you. If you like red but want a subtle look consider wearing a neutral dress and dressing it up with red accessories.

One-shouldered dresses are an easy way to achieve elegance and sexiness in the same dress. With this dress you can achieve several different looks. The dramatic one-shouldered cut may be perfect for the type of look you are going for.

Often times the classic prom dress can become boring. If you are tired of the same old colors consider trying a Technicolor dress. Dresses in the shade of fuschia and blue can be just as elegant and striking as a traditional prom dress.

A black and white dress shows off an elegant yet funky style. If you find white to be too boring consider mixing it with black. Graphic prints and floral prints add to the trendy nature of this style.

Famous celebrities are known to wear the bandage style of dress. With its body hugging material if you have the body to wear it this may be an ultra modern choice for you.

Ruffles and feathers are making a come back this year. With both of these styles it is important not to over do it. Ruffles that form a pattern along the dress or that run along a drop waist are the best kind for a prom dress. Feathers, as an alternative to ruffles can be a glamorous touch. Look for styles that have feathers tiered throughout the dress or subtly sewn into the hem.

Sequins offer a bit of an 80's look to a prom dress. If you especially like vintage looks you will probably love a sequined dress. By adding modern accessories you can update this look and be a hit at your prom.

It takes the right dress to make that magical night special. With all of the choices out there you should have no problem finding the best dress for you.
