Pastels are at peak

Slits make their way into

Shimmer and sparkle

Floral patterns

Stripes are always in

And so is black

Moreover, it goes with the vintage fashion trending this season and if your princess can’t mug up much time to hop around for shopping, black would be a safe and stylish timesaver for her.

Winding up

No matter which trend is “in”, there is one major piece of advice that every mom should pass on to her daughter when she sets out to shop for her homecoming dress- It is always choose a dress that complements your body type.
