The Night Is Young Plum Plus Size Sparkle Prom Ball Gown

Purple with a twist. Prom with a personality. The Night Is Young brings an unexpected splash of jewel-tone glamour to Prom 2027 in a rich Plum plus size sparkle ball gown. Delicate lace appliqués embellished with clear sequins and bugle beads add sparkling texture to the strapless sweetheart corset, while layers of glitter tulle create a full A-line skirt made for dancing, twirling and unforgettable photos.

A trendy Basque waistline defines your curves before flowing into the dramatic ball gown skirt. Interior boning gives the fitted bodice structure, while optional spaghetti straps offer another way to style your look. Whether you're celebrating Prom 2027, attending a winter formal or dressing for a gala, this distinctive shade of purple brings a fresh personality to classic ball gown glamour.

Why You'll Love It

Plum offers a fresh alternative to traditional Prom colors, combining the richness of a jewel tone with a playful fashion attitude. Embroidered lace appliqués, clear sequins and bugle beads create sparkling texture across the corset bodice, while glitter tulle adds shimmer throughout the full skirt. The trendy Basque waistline defines your shape, and the A-line skirt twirls beautifully on and off the dance floor and looks fabulous in photos! Wear the sweetheart neckline strapless or add the optional spaghetti straps to personalize your look.

Fit & Feel

The fitted strapless sweetheart bodice features interior boning, embellished lace appliqués, clear sequins and bugle beads. The bodice is partially lined, while the full A-line glitter tulle skirt is fully lined for coverage. A lace-up back with modesty panel allows for fit adjustment, while a short zipper below the waist completes the closure.

The evening gown measures 61 inches from the hollow of your neck to the hem of the ball gown skirt. If you're under 5 feet 10 inches tall, plan on wearing 3-inch heels or having the gown hemmed to achieve a floor-length look.
