Embellished dresses are always a superb way to go for your special moment, whether it’s your prom, graduation, Valentines ball or another memorable occasion. Sequins are very popular at the moment as an embellishment because they look fabulous both in small quantities and all over the dress.  Here at Girl Meets Dress there are some stunning options to choose from, but here are a couple of my favourites:

Long prom dresses provide instant sophistication and glamour. Girl Meets Dress are ideal for gown hire. For Grace Kelly goddess-like beauty, the Elliot Claire Jewelled Silver gown, available for only £49, provides an A line silhouette with semi ruffled hemline. Hire Elliot Claire gowns for a fraction of the retail price! The sparkling embellished neckline and ¾ length sleeve detail is subtly stunning and adds to the ethereal qualities this dress has. For understated elegance this gown is perfect.

If full on diva gold and glitz is what you are after then look no further than the Jovani Sequin tulle gown available to rent £109. Channel J-Lo in this fabulous strapless floor length gown with a sweetheart neckline and layered tulle skirt. Gown hire is an easy and simple solution to those wardrobe woes. Wearing a highly embellished designer prom dress could not be easier with Girl Meets Dress!

Girl’s prom dresses can be hard to find. Above everything you certainly do not want to turn up in the same dress as your friend! Nightmare moment right there! You want to look amazing, feel amazing and be amazing without breaking the bank. Enter Girl Meets Dress! For a black prom dress with a twist, the NLY Pearly dress (£89) is an excellent choice. Very on trend with the embellished translucent outer layer and attached bandeau slip, this dress takes the traditional Little Black Dress out of the shadows and into the spotlight. A fun, stylish statement for any prom!

However, if you would prefer a pink prom dress (a girly girl’s dream) then how about this highly affordable Reverse Glitter Bandeau gown from £59? The decorative sequin detail in gold adds style and interest without being over-powering, while the beautiful peachy pink fabric drapes wonderfully around the body. Hire gowns from only £29!

Alternatively if you want colour but pink just isn’t your thing, then the Forever Unique Lenore Prom Dress in Green from an amazing £29 may just fit the bill! Green is an excellent choice if you want to ensure you stand out from the crowd. The sequin embellishment is beautifully balanced so only needs the simplest of accessories to accompany it. The full skirt and sweetheart neckline work well together, creating a girly shape in a grown up colour – perhaps the perfect combination!

As you can see there are some fantastic embellished options available at Girl Meets Dress to help make your prom an event to remember. If you’re still not sure, email thegirls@girlmeetsdress.com for personalised styling tips!
