Choosing Your Perfect Dress For Homecoming Court

Choosing just one dress is a challenge, especially as you’re spoilt for choice with our wide selection. But, don’t worry, we’ve got you!

There are some factors that can help you narrow down your choice. A good place to start is referring to your school guidelines. If your school has a dress code, you’ll have to stick within those parameters.

Your school may have guidelines on dress length. They may also set restrictions on certain styles of dress and color. In general, most schools encourage court dresses long enough to feel formal, while still retaining youthful and fun characteristics.

Comfort is another key consideration. So, consider a semi-formal outfit that allows you to dance comfortably and move with ease and grace during ceremonies and presentations on the field.

The determining factor in the dress you choose is your personal style. What will suit you and make you stand out from the crowd without clashing with the theme, or other court members?

Popular design elements for the court include floor-length ball gowns that gracefully contour.

Playful off-the-shoulder dresses are sexy and elegant, creating a jaw-dropping look fit for the pictures that commemorate this special occasion.

Rich jewel tones are also made for the occasion. Bold colors like emerald, sapphire, amethyst, burgundy, and metallic tones are timeless and elegant. Wow the crowd in elegant emerald suitable for a wide range of skin tones, or choose ruby red and capture hearts.

Modest yet glamorous cuts are the flavor of the day. Try a long flowing gown, or an off-the-shoulder look with a flattering asymmetrical neckline.

Whether you prefer a fully beaded butterfly gown, influenced by your favorite celebrity red carpet looks, or something a bit more refined like a satin corset. We have a gown that will garner all the attention you deserve on your big day.
