I've seen the commercials. Kimora Lee is at it again. Enjoy a unique line of fabulous shoes, handbags and now, jewelry, all on a convenient website. Sign up and receive customized attention. Your personal experience includes a quiz on your style which results in your own recommended products from the line based on your personal style. They allow you to rate individual items based on color, style and heel (for shoes) or size (for purses). Also, they tell you when a specific shoe style is unavailable in your size.

3 P's of Women's Fashion - Pageant Dress. Party Dress. Prom Dress.
It is exciting! It doesn't even matter what your fashion sense is like or what your shopping style is....you know you love getting a new dress. Pageants, parties and proms provide an opportunity to do just that and, for some, these things come around quite often!
For them, it may become more of a task and feel less special each time but is just as significant (or else, they'd just wear burlap). Either way, whether you buy a new gown once a month or once every ten years, it is a meaningful experience. I remember buying the three most expensive gowns I own, even though I wasn't paying for them because I was a kid (thank you Mom).Today, I enjoy looking at styles online.
I definitely notice trends of bridal gowns looking more pageant, party and prom. Of course, every bride has a different personality and every wedding has its own feel so there doesn't have to be just one kind of attire (and that would be boring, anyway) but I think the occasion is much more of a milestone than attending a party, a prom or being in a pageant (I mean, marriage is forever!) so, I think it calls for more thought and care regarding the dress. You do not need a bunch of thick layers and an extra-full skirt with a train and all to have an "appropriate" bridal gown but at the same time, when I see color dresses and dresses with tacky cuts and detailing, when I see brides appearing more like bridesmaids, when I search the websites and literally see some of the same dresses go under all 3 P's categories and bridal, I think some designers and brides take it too far but hey, if they're happy, they are happy...?
On the other hand, we can't leave out the fact that you will always see people show up at a pageant, party or prom looking like a bride. They like the styles of ballroom (always a favorite for any special occasion), the color white, the chance to dress like they would for their wedding but without having to wait for their prince to show up lol Understandable...but then, how do you top that when the time does come? Just a question..
Now, I HAVE to show some examples!
Bridal gowns that are nice but do not look as bridal as they look pageant, party & prom and have even been seen listed in more than one category:
Pageant gowns that look bridal:
Prom dresses that look bridal:
