Top Prom Dress Designers Mori Lee, Jessica McClintock, and Alyce Designs Get You Glam for 2009

Prom is coming quickly, ladies, and it is time to focus your attentions on your top priority. No, not midterms, graduation, or snagging a hot date to the end of the year bash. You know it is all about the dress. Whether you are looking to make a grand entrance in a pageant worthy ensemble, ooze darlingness in a vintage inspired creation, or rock it out in a modern design, three designers can help you make your mark on this year's prom scene. Mori Lee, Jessica McClintock, and Alyce Designs are three perfect options for your image making (or breaking) purchase. All three designers stand the test of time and offer several different price tiers to choose from. They all have comprehensive websites, and are available in many retail, bridal, and department stores.

Mori Lee is well know for elegant prom looks. They have been supplying special occasion dresses for almost fifty years. You can view the multitude of Mori Lee designs at www.morilee.com . The three Mori Lee prom lines for 2009 are Prom 2009 Collection, the Prom Paparazzi Collection, and the Sticks and Stones Collection. The Prom 2009 Collection features all the tulle and sequins a girl could ask for. This line has a lot of the Cinderella type traditional long gowns. There are a few wild designs featured in this line, such as the Printed Charmeuse with Beading (search the site for number 8162) which has a traditional cut, but a hot leopard print. If you want a little more of a cutting edge look (LA style with a little Paris Hilton mixed in for good measure) try the Prom Paparazzi Collection featuring bold prints and daring cuts. Finally, if you're looking for something short and sweet (or sexy), the Sticks and Stones Collection is the line for you. Some of the dresses in the Sticks and Stones Collection have 1980's flare, there are quite a few baby doll looks, and all of them are short enough to let you strut your stuff on and off the dance floor. There is a store finder on this website, but keep in mind you cannot order from www.morilee.com, so shop early.

Jessica McClintock has been around forever. This is the place for standard prom dresses . . . nothing too crazy, but you can be confident in the quality. The website at www.jessicamcclintock.com features a wide variety of looks, and also sells accessories. It occasionally offers a free fragrance gift with purchase. You can order your Jessica McClintock gown and accessories from the website just pay attention to the shipping time. Another good thing about Jessica McClintock designs is that they are available in many retail stores as well as JMC Boutiques across the country (see the retail and boutique locaters on the web site). The Prom section is divided into Ball Gowns, Long Dresses, and Short Dresses. When picking out your Jessica McClintock be careful not to come off too bridesmaidsy. The Short Dresses section is probably your best bet for this. The price and colors are clearly displayed. Check out the sale section for a lot of nice dresses for a discount.

Alyce Designs are well known in bridal and pageant circles, so it should follow that these dresses are worth checking out at www.alycedesigns.com . The Alyce Design dresses are breathtaking. The prom lines are Alyce Prom, B'Dazzle, and Black Label Prom. The Alyce Prom design features an extensive selection of styles and colors. Beyond the basics, you can find one shoulder, halter, strapless, and deep V styles. The B'Dazzle line is modern and pushes the envelope in prom designs. This is the section for modern versions of old-Hollywood fashion and rocker-chick-chic. Check out dress number 35318 in zebra print with an accent color, for an example of the fun you can have with the B'Dazzle line. The Black Label Prom collection is the couture collection, and if you can swing the cost of these high end gowns, then you will make a statement with whatever style you choose. You cannot buy the dresses on the website. Once again, there is a store locator. Also, even if you are not planning on buying an Alyce Design, the website has great styling and links to some good accessory pages, so it is worth viewing.

Mori Lee, Jessica McClintock, and Alyce Designs are all good choices for your prom look. To check them out side by side, a good place to shop for them online is www.magicmomentsprom.com. While Jessica McClintock is the least expensive designer of the three, Mori Lee and Alyce Designs offer some truly unique styles and materials. Whatever look you choose, have a safe and fashionable Prom 2009.
