What will be the leading fashions for 2009 Prom Dresses? Cinderella's Gowns, a nationally recognized source for prom dresses and formal evening gowns, has made several 2009 prom fashion predictions. According to Cinderella's Gowns, the 2009 prom dress season will be highlighted by a return to punch colors, metallic fabrics, and dazzling beadwork.

Also be on the lookout for great examples of empire dresses.

What's New:

One of the biggest trends for 2009 is prints and vivacious colors--think 1980s. Everything from floral to animal prints to abstracts is popular this year. Prom dresses for 2009 are going to be sexy and fun--to be a trendsetter, go for eye-catching, bright dresses instead of traditional dresses and subtle colors.

Metallic Fabric is Back, and Better:

Forget the crunchy metallic fabrics of the past. Metallic is back, and better than ever before. The metallic is from a new form of lame' (pronounced "lah-MAY") that is applied to fabric like stretch jersey and charmeuse (a lightweight fabric woven with a satin weave), as opposed to the crunchy lame' of the 1980s. Many 2009 designer collections include metallic dresses that are flirty, fun, and comfortable.
Goodbye Sequins, Hello Beads:

Beads are also in this year. 2008 was all about sequins, and 2009 will be about beads and details. Some 2009 prom dresses will have beaded designs covering the entire prom dress. Others will have beaded details at the empire seam, which makes the trend even sexier.
