Short semi formal prom dresses for Prom 2021 will definitely be trendy. But why wait? These flirty frocks are sure to be all the rage for Homecoming 2020. That's when the dance dress code typically tends to be less formal than Prom and trends towards a more casual - but still dressy - look.

The trendy Homecoming 2020 Collection in plus sizes 14 to 32 is here! That gives you extra time to shop all the new short formal dress styles to find the dress of your dreams. 

Nothing starts the party sooner than wearing a short and sassy dress. You can't help but feel like you want to dance all night. So what if you get tired. Just kick off those shoes and keep the beat going. 

Fashion Tip

Before you buy, it is best to always check with friends on what curvy girls wear at your school. In some parts of the United States, including New York and New Jersey. the tradition is for teenage girls to wear short semi-formal dresses to the Junior Prom and save the long formals for their Senior Prom.

It Comes Down to the Details

When you decide to wear a plus size short prom dress, you stand out in the crowd looking oh-so-flirty and you let everyone know that you're ready to have fun, fun, fun! Plus you get to show off your great legs in a pair of sexy super-high heels. (And who doesn't love to do that!)

For an extra flirty look, shop for a short formal prom dress with a curled hemline sometimes called a "lettuce" hem. The waves are created when fishing line is twisted though the edge of the hem. The wavy hemline creates a fun effect on and off the dance floor.

Look for shot semi-formal designs with details that make for an easy and flattering fit: lace-ups backs, optional bra-friendly straps and matching shawls.

Best of all, if you opt to not go with a long formal gown on your big night, plus size knee-length prom dresses are great designs to add to your wardrobe that you can wear again and again to parties or any other special occasions. (especially if you're a senior headed to college next year!)

Don't worry if you're shopping on a shoestring budget. Sydney's Closet features plus size knee-length prom dress styles to fit every pocketbook. Take advantage of deep discounts when you shop our great selection of sample plus size short party dresses. You'll be sure to get a cheap short plus size Prom dress that looks like you spent a million bucks. (No one will ever know what it actually cost you!)
