2023 Prom Dress Trends

It's time to show you guys the popular 2023 Prom Trends! Our prom buyers have taken over the Atlanta Market and brought back some of the hottest styles for Prom 2023! French Novelty is bringing you show-stopping and jaw-dropping prom dresses!

Sheer side cuts and cutouts (as well as sheer bodices) are totally trending this year, and we're here for it. These details will take a simple gown and make it cool with precise cutouts at the bodice or diagonal cutouts across the top of the dress. This style flatters every body type and makes a dress more visually interesting. The added twist to these gowns will make them more memorable, as well as giving you an edgier look for prom.

Corsets are back, too. It's not just for the 1800's anymore! A corset can elevate any look and make your waist look snatched. There is a corset style for every aesthetic! From witchy and gothic, sweet princess-y pastels, to complete goddess energy, a corset can make the whole look of a gown so much better. With a bustier top and lace-up style back, a corset gives off nothing but main character energy.

Are you looking for Jessica Rabbit vibes? We've got you. Check out a deep-v corset gown that accentuates that hour-glass figure with sequins going all the way down to the floor! Add a high slit and you've got the perfect dress.

One-shoulder gowns took the prom scene by storm last year, and we couldn't be happier that they're here to stay. With more of our most popular designers designing for this trend, you'll be sure to find the perfect one-shoulder for you. From mermaid dresses to ball gowns, there are tons of styles and colors to choose from!

Another trend that's back that gives off nothing but Lana Del Rey and Old Hollywood energy is feathered prom dresses. This classic yet modern Americana style will have you wanting a Cherry Coke and James Dean movies as soon as possible. This look is elegant yet daring with many silhouettes to choose from, like fitted mermaid gowns that have feathered necklines and skirts, to off-the-shoulder black feathered gowns. You can get the Marilyn Monroe look you've always wanted with these classic and timeless feathered gowns!

We don't know if everyone is inspired by the costumes from Bridgerton, but we definitely are! Just wait until you see what our designers have designed with this in mind! For the last few years, everyone's been talking about Bridgerton (especially the wardrobe choices)! The Regency-era dramedy has won everyone over as a mash between Gossip Girl and Pride and Prejudice, and we've totally seen it in this year's prom dress trends. We've heard that the costume designer wanted to create the period piece with a "scandalous and modern twist" designed to capture attention. If that sounds like you, you need to try an A-line ball gown by Andrea & Leo! Not only did this style of gown capture the attention of the audience, it also became featured in some of the world's most popular fashion magazines-- Vogue and Marie Claire to name a few! There's no doubt that these Bridgerton inspired dresses will turn heads. Who doesn't love soft pastels, romantic corset tops, and tons of satin?

These older trends keep coming back, and the 1980's is no exception! Puff sleeves are back and here to stay, which is perfect for all of our "material girls". 2023 is modernizing this trend to awesome new levels, making it elegant and fun. Lots of our top designers, like Ashley Lauren, Alyce Paris, and Andrea & Leo have produced lots of gowns that feature this cool new detail! Puff sleeves are perfect for enhancing gowns and upping your prom game.

We promise to provide you with lots of the popular and classic styles. Sherri Hill, Jovani, and one of our personal favorites-- Andrea & Leo, are all stocked with nothing but the best for you and your prom! We can't wait to see which trend is your favorite!
