Whether you prefer the sleekness of mermaid floral gowns, the elegance of floral print ball gowns, or anything in between, you are sure not to be disappointed.

Gowns feature floral details in a variety of forms. You can enjoy the subtly of tone-on-tone lace, allowing the floral design to serve as a simple textural element against other fabric types or go dramatic with a distinct print featuring black flowers against vibrant colors or a watercolor print against classic pastels. These prints can also feature a variety of other stylistic elements like beading and crystals, and be constructed out of almost any formal gown material.

A floral bodice can provide an elegant contrast to a skirt made fabrics like satin, tulle, or jersey. Or you can select a floral print for the skirt and keep the bodice a solid color. Often, if you choose a more tonal design, you can actually have a head to toe floral print that provides visual interest based on texture instead of high contrast color.

Short Floral Dresses

Semi-formal occasions, as well as school events like homecomings and proms, can often make a short floral dress a completely appropriate choice. Often, you will find suitable options ranging from distinct short floral cocktail dresses, classic tea-length gowns, and more. Skirt shapes can range from fitted to flared, and bodice choices and necklines are as flexible as any other style of dress.

Similar to the offerings of longer dresses, short floral dresses can feature the print on just the bodice, just the skirt, or across the entire design. Since the dress is shorter, it can make it simpler to maintain a strong floral print across the whole dress, because the contrast is automatically created with increased exposed skin. You can also see features like lace, beading, and crystals added for anything from subtle texture to dramatic sparkle.

While many people think that a short dress is only for younger women, it can be an excellent look for anyone who enjoys showing off their legs and a great pair of shoes. Simply choose a skirt length with which you are comfortable, and enjoy flaunting your favorite asset.
