Chic Prom 2007 Dresses For Three Budgets

Prom season is here! It's that time of the year when girls everywhere are on the lookout for the hottest prom dresses so they can be the envy of every other high-schooler for at least one special night. Here are some haute prom 2007 dresses for you future-fashionistas - chosen for three budgets:

Surefire Steal - $73.50

Macys.com - Trixxi Flyaway Gown with Rhinestones
As most of you probably already know, black is always a "safe" color...but more than being safe, black is always chic, slimming, and surefire winner. I like how the straps on this dress have a slightly Grecian feel, how the rhinestones add extra glam, and how the cut of the skirt makes this dress stand out from the crowd.

Slight Stretch - $136

Nordstrom.com - De La Ru Stretch Satin Halter Dress
The color red in and of itself is always a great attention-getter. The halter straps are great for showing off awesome shoulders, the satin makes the dress sassy, and the brooch keeps the dress from being generic. Overall, the dress is simply stunning.

Serious Splurge - $239

Jessicamcclintock.com - 52787 (strange name, non?)
Pretty in purple! The crinkly/ruffly fabric makes this look fun but what I really love about this dress are the straps across the back. I'm such a sucker for this style...maybe b/c of my figure skating background, but I think criss-cross straps like the ones on this fab number are simply beautiful and add extra personality to the style.

Happy prom 2007 dress shopping, darlings!
