Shop Sydney's Closet for plus size ball gowns for Prom 2021. Discover trendy and unique long evening ball gowns for Prom, with stunning colors and flattering designs. One thing we know for sure, Cinderella never looked as good as you will wearing one of our formal evening dresses.

For Prom 2021, we updated our romantic fairy-tale designs with sequins, gemstones and beautifully beaded lace bodices. You and your Prince will love how the full skirts twirl on the dance floor. 

Style Tip:

The trick to pulling off a long gown for prom or an evening ball is to be certain there are enough layers of crinoline, or petticoat, sewn under your skirt to make it poufy. Without that fullness, this formal dress design is a fashion flop. 

Fabrics for 2021 Plus-Sized Ball Gowns

In centuries past, when long evening ball gowns were made exclusively by hand before the introduction of the sewing machine, women preferred silk and velvet.

For Prom 2021, brocade, jacquard and satin gain popularity. These fabrics look rich and regal despite being made from synthetic polyester materials. Tulle. so delicate and feminine , will still make a strong statement as a skirt fabric choice. Satin, a favorite of brides, takes on a textured quality with a hint of shine for a very elegant look.

Color Cues

Red and blue are two hot colors trending for Prom 2021 gowns. Black and gold, always a rich and oh-so regal color combination, are also super popular. 

What is a Ball Gown?

This style of gown is the most formal of all evening wear designs for women typically reserved for grand occasions like a black-tie event or a ball. Designers typically style ball gowns with these fashion elements:

  • off the shoulder neckline
  • closely fitted or corseted bodice
  • low-cut neckline that dares to bare a little décolletage
  • cinched  waistline
  • exposed arms
  • bouffant skirts with layers of petticoat under the skirt to create fullness

Details that Make a Difference

Many full-figured women prefer to cover their arms with an optional shawl, shrug or evening jacket. A dramatic look is to add a long cape with a  hemline that reaches the floor.  Recently, sleeves have been added.

Royalty, if married, always adds a tiara and military balls state decorations bows pinned to chest. 

Long opera-length evening gloves are essential to complete the look.

Ballgowns not your style for Prom 2021?  Shop our plus size mermaid gowns for a sleek fitted look that shows off your fab curves.
