Style Guide

Silhouettes You’ll Find

Maroon dresses can be A-line for comfort, fitted sheath for sleek elegance or mermaid gowns for a dramatic finish. The ball gown shapes add formality to the dress while short cuts are suitable for semi-formal.

Necklines and Sleeves

Choose from sweetheart, halter, and off-shoulder designs. Strapless designs create a classic shape while illusion lace or long sleeves can add detail and coverage. High-neck styles provide a structured, elegant look.

Fabric & Detailing

Maroon looks rich when accented with satin and velvet. With chiffon, it looks flowing. And, sequins give it sparkle for an evening look. The deep tone has been softened and highlighted by lace and beads. Minimalist satin cuts showcase the color on its own.

Occasions to Wear

Maroon dresses are not only ideal for prom, but they are also great for weddings, evening gala and cocktails parties. Semi-formal events are best for short designer evening dresses but long dresses go for black tie parties.

Buying Tips

If between sizes, prioritize bust and waist measurements. Most maroon prom dresses have lining inside them to stay comfortable. Some fabrics, like velvet and jersey, have stretch. Others, such as satin and chiffon, are less stretchy. Petite through plus-size options are available.
