Homecoming Dresses

While we're loving summer and all of the warm weather (hello dresses every day), our dress designers are already revealing their new Homecoming 2015 dresses for this coming fall, and we're basically obsessing over them. We previously revealed new looks from Sherri Hill and Blush Prom, but now we have more dresses to share! The latest dress designer to reveal their Fall 2015 line is Alyce Paris! There are so many gorgeous new dresses to oogle over, many that feature beautiful beading, making for such stunning looks. Check out three of our favorites below, and visit the Alyce Paris section of our website to see more.

Alyce 3672

Alyce 3672 is glamorous and elegant all in one look! The bodice features a corset silhouette, which is fully beaded with pearls and rhinestones and a lace-up back. A flirty layered skirt tops it all off.

Alyce 3673

Alyce 3673 is a layered tulle short dress that's all about a classic, elegant look, with a bit of fun and flirty added in. It features a fully beaded bodice with a lace-up back.

Alyce 3674

For a super chic look, we love Alyce 3674. This dazzling short dress is covered in gorgeous stones and sparkling beadwork all over the bodice and neckline. A ruched bodice and the perfect layered tulle skirt complete the look.

These dresses are gorgeous looks for many semi-formal and formal occasions. Other than Homecoming, these looks couldn't be more perfect for a Sweet 16, Bat Mitzvah, or even attending a wedding.

Alyce Paris isn't the only dress designer with brand new looks for 2015! Many other designers, such as Sherri Hill, La Femme, Faviana, and more, have so many gorgeous new looks for the fall. So, make sure to visit RissyRoos.com to see all of the other brand new looks!

The official first day of Summer 2015 may not be here yet (it's June 21st), but with the Prom and Graduation 2015 season already coming to an end, you better believe we're already thinking of Fall and the Homecoming 2015 season. Basically, we're itching to get dressed up again. And, we're not the only ones thinking about homecoming dances - Sherri Hill is, too! They recently released their Sherri Hill Fall 2015 Dresses collection, and we have them all at RissyRoos.com!

The new Fall 2015 Sherri Hill collection is full of beautiful new colors, like navy and plum, stunning new prints, like floral, and plenty of new takes on popular trends, like lace, cut-out, and two piece dresses. To put it lightly, we're obsessed with all of the gorgeous new looks!

The dress above is Sherri Hill style 32321, an oh-so-elegant floral print cocktail dress. This fabulous taffeta cocktail dress features a beautiful fall floral print design with a plunging v-neck, tank straps, and a sparkling tonal beaded waistline.

While these new dresses are all part of the Fall line, there are many looks that are also perfect for spring or summer events. There are some beautiful new white Sherri Hill dresses that are especially perfect for some graduation party fun.

Our hearts were broken when we heard that Bella Thorne and Tristan Klier broke up, after 3 years of dating. But, Bella recently agreed to still go to Homecoming with Tristan, so we're holding on that there still may be hope for their relationship! The two recently posted such cute pictures from their Homecoming dance from last weekend...they certainly look like they had an incredible time, and makes us think that they really are giving their relationship another shot!

Seventeen Magazine explained that they started out the night at Tristan's house, "and took the obligatory all-the-couples-in-the-living-room homecoming pic and Bella looked gorgeous!" We couldn't agree more! Check out the pics:

"HOMECOMING" - Bella Thorne

Seventeen Magazine then explained: "Then Tristan and Bella took a picture in front of their limo with Tristan's twin brother (who's equally as gorgeous as Tristan) and his date!"

"Looking dapper last night with our ladies" -Tristan

Everyone definitely looks very "dapper!" Love Bella's super fitted bandage dress? Get a look just like hers with Mac Duggal style 40308! Just like Bella's dress, this avant-guard dress forms to your figure and accentuates your curves with a deep v-cut neckline.

Or, get that pretty in pink look like Bella's in a bandage dress with Sherri Hill style 32048. This is a short and sexy bandage dress with a sheer beaded lace halter neckline and a beaded lace back with a key hole slit.

The best thing about these dresses is that they are timeless, and will always give you a stunning form fitting look. So, you can easily take either of these dresses from Homecoming to your next semi-formal or formal occasion. Just like Bela's dress, Tristan's twin brother's date wore just as classic and timeless of a dress: a little black dress! For a so simple and classic look like above go with La Femme style 19842. This is an amazing fit and flare dress with a sweetheart neckline and low v back. The dress has black lace over the nude and a sheer net high neckline. The dress has pockets on both sides of the skirt and the back is completely covered in sheer net.

Dress codes at homecoming and prom dances have been a hot topic over the past few years, and in some cases we can understand why dress codes need to be enforced, but there are many occasions where dress codes are either enforced too strictly, unjustly, and/or unfairly. Well, we recently read a story of some girls that experienced what we believe to be all three of those things at their homecoming dance in South Jordan, Utah. FOX13 Salt Lake City covered the story. You can read it below in its entirety, unaltered as originally reported on, so that you can decide whether or not these girls were treated unfairly or not.

Tayler Gillespie was turned away from her homecoming dance at Bingham High School Saturday, and the teen wasn’t the only who expressed frustration over dress code enforcement at the dance.

“They said I either have to go home and get something to go under, or I’m not allowed in,” Gillespie said. “So I just decided to leave.”

And she wasn’t the only one

“They pulled me to the side and asked me to twirl around to see if I was immodest, then made me sit against the wall,” Erika Shepherd said. “And while I was sitting against the wall there was about ten other girls that were sitting there being embarrassed.”

Erika showed us her dress. It spills onto the floor, but Erika said those who were in charge of the dance told her: “It’s too low in the back’ and I needed to get a jacket or go home and change clothes.”

FOX 13 News reached out to assistant principal Janalee Taylor, who was at the dance. She declined an on-camera interview but told us the school’s dress code for dances is very clear. She said it’s on the schools website, is sent out as a reminder on a paper attached to dance tickets, and is reinforced in the annual school standards assembly.

It states in part: “Hemlines should go no higher than mid-thigh when seated.”

That’s the reason Tayler said she was asked to leave.

“It’s been the same standards assembly for three years, they always have the same power point,” she said.

But she said dresses worn in past years were scrutinized this year, and not allowed.

Tayler also said she was never asked to sit to see where her hemline would fall.

“They just took a wild guess and said, ‘You’re not admitted in.’”

Veronica Perhson, Tayler’s mother, spoke about the issue.

“I understand the need for a dress code, but I think it needs to be applied straight forward,” she said.

Tayler’s parents went to the school to speak with those in charge Saturday night, but they said they had a hard time getting answers.

“I asked them why they turned her away and then showed them a picture of her on the phone I’d taken myself of her sitting down where the dress meets her knees,” said Tayler’s father, Chad Perhson.

See the video above for images of the dresses mentioned in this story. Maddi Rowley is another student who was upset about the situation, and she emailed FOX 13 News a picture of her dress as well as her comments.

She stated: “Other girls were admitted into the dance wearing my same dress in different colors. I was in high heals (sic), as you can see, and I am a taller girl. I am very angry, especially because my date couldn’t get his money refunded. Surely you can understand the injustice. I’m nearly an adult, and my parents allowed me to go out in this dress.”

Here's the picture that Maddi Rowley provided to FOX13 Salt Lake City that the news channel posted:

It's always hard to get the full story on something, but it definitely seems like something went wrong at the dance. We're glad to see that the parents are stepping in to defend their daughter, especially since it seems as if they did in fact follow the dress codes that were in place. And, it's always a good sign when parents 'approve' of their daughters' outfits - they're usually the strictest critics, after all! Not only that, but from everything we see at Rissy Roo's parents are usually very involved in the picking out and purchase of their daughters' prom and homecoming dresses.

The newest season of Dancing with the Stars is in full swing (pun intended!), and the stars and talent are great...and the fashion is so amazing! This season's DWTS fashion is particularly glam, though, because the dancers are looking so beautiful in dresses from one of our favorite designers - Jovani! Check out the beautiful dancers in Jovani below.

Six-time World Champion and MMA and UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture partners with Karina Smirnoff wearing Jovani style 94443, a sexy short beaded backless dress with fringe detail on the shoulders and a deep v-neckline. It fit Karina so perfectly, and fringe is always a fun trend to rock while dancing to accentuate movement!

NASCAR legend Michael Waltrip partners with Emma Slater wearing Jovani style 93812, a sexy short beaded dress that features sheer cutouts. It's such a classy, yet sexy look!

Late-night television talk show host Tavis Smiley partners with pro dancer Sharna Burgess wearing Jovani style 93660, a sexy short beaded dress with sheer floral accents. This dress fitted Sharna like a glove!

We're obsessed with all three of these cocktail dresses, not only because of how stunning they look, but because they are so versatile! They're perfect to rock for not only a homecoming dance (so you can dance the night away in style like these DWTS dancers!), but for the Holidays or any other formal or semi-formal event you may have.

It's finally here...Tuesday, September 22, 2014...aka, the first day of Fall 2014! The cool, crisp air is here, and it's time to take out those cute scarves, rock boots and leather jackets, get pumpkin spice lattes, and start putting your Halloween costume together. But, most importantly, it's time to get ready for your homecoming dance!

If you haven't found your perfect homecoming dress yet, the time is definitely here! Whether going for a casual, semi-formal, or formal look, make sure you choose a dress that you're comfortable and feel good in. Short dresses tend to be the go-to look for homecoming, but long dresses can be fun for a homecoming dance, as well! If you love the one in the picture above, it's Shail K style 3856, and it definitely screams "FALL" to us! Elegant, soft, and sultry, Shail K. puts a new spin on this classic floor length evening gown, with an accentuated bust and fitted waistline that compliments any shape.

To get in the leaves falling and pumpkin picking spirit, check out some other orange fall inspired dresses that we love:

La Femme style 20631 is an open back lace dress that's a romantic look for homecoming or prom. We especially love this graceful short chiffon dress' jewel encrusted lace bodice - an elegant way to stand out!

To rock the two piece look in a totally fall way, go with Sherri Hill style 11061. The top of this sassy two piece cocktail dress is covered in a beautifuly beaded design, and the skirt has a beaded band around the waist and a soft, flowy short skirt. A fun and flirty, yet totally elegant, look that you can't go wrong with!

Orange is definitely a great color to choose to get in the fall mood. But, don't be afraid to go with a yellow, brown, or black dress, too, if you do want a fall inspired look. Will you be rocking a fall inspired color for your homecoming dance? Leave us a comment below and let us know!
