Bubble Dress

Bubble Dress - - Prom Dress StylesCynthia Nellis, licensed to About.com
A cinched-in waist and flirty, curved-under hem results in a playful spin on the old-school Audrey Hepburn party dress. The distinct voluminous shape is a result of a full skirt grounded by a narrow hem.

A bubble dress can be a lifesaver for prom. It adds soft curves to the skinny girls and creates a sleek hourglass shape to full-figured girls.

The goal is a cute "bubbly" look, not a puffy "balloon." The volume should end above your knee and cinch together to keep the bubble dress trim and trendy.
