Prom night is fast approaching. Ladies Beware!

Prom girls, be smart. Your dream dress could be a fake! The prom industry’s leading designers are still fighting the ongoing battle with fraudulent internet sites selling counterfeit prom dresses to unsuspecting teenage girls and their families. Companies are representing these dresses as authentic garments, but what the customer is receiving is a knock-off of sub-par quality, leaving them feeling scammed and distraught.  Some are not receiving any dress at all!

Protect yourself. Before purchasing a prom dress via the internet, check the designer’s website for a list of authorized retailers. Also, be aware that designers such as Jovani, La Femme, Mori Lee, Sherri Hill and Tony Bowls set an MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) that all authorized retailers must follow. Meaning, that if you are able to find the dress at a price lower than the MSRP, chances are it’s a scam. Do not buy it! Another way to ensure you are receiving the real deal is to call the company’s contact information. The most reliable companies, like RissyRoos.com, offer customer support and toll-free lines for your convenience in placing your order with a real person.

On Thursday afternoon, a number of the fashion industries leading designers and retailers met in New York City to discuss an issue of growing concern in the prom industry. Among the attendees were representatives from Jovani, La Femme, Mori Lee, Sherry Hill, and Tony Bowls. The topic, bogus internet sites selling counterfeit garments to unsuspecting teenage girls. Many of these sites are based in China and are selling knockoff products while representing them as authentic garments from the industry's trendiest designers. In some cases, it has been reported that disappointed young ladies throughout the country have received no dress at all, with little to no recourse since they are not dealing with companies based in the United States of America.

Who better to look to for inspiration then the cast one of the most talked about shows on TV?  Dancing with the Stars is a live show that features well known celebrities who are paired with professional dancers. As the weeks go by dances get more complicated, the outfits more flashy and sadly couples are eliminated. Fortunately we can use the show to our advantage. By pulling key components from their looks we can find you the perfect dress for your night out!

Some of the biggest trends that we are seeing for this fall are featured on the show. Fringe is definitely back in as well as vibrant colors. Everyone knows that a little sparkle and shine goes a long way and sequins are always a must have. Another trend that comes and goes is animal print and we are seeing a lot of it this year. Sometimes it’s a full printed dress, but it can even be as eye-catching as a belt.

Both Dancing with the Stars competitors Bristol Palin and Jennifer Gray have used fringe to follow their quick movements on the dance floor. Want everyone to turn and look at you while you’re bustin’ a move? Then you need a dress that can move with you! Continue reading →
