Red Trend Long, elegant chiffon gown with thin spaghetti straps. Cut on the bias for a wonderful drape. Two layers of chiffon. Small v-neck in front with a deep v-neck in back. Full length dress, perfect with strappy heels and a little handbag. This is the dress to wear to a special occasion, such as a prom, cruise, wedding or a banquet. Matching long semi-translucent chiffon shawl/wrap comes with dress. Truly refined!

If you missed Jennifer Garner at the Golden Globe Awards (see article excerpt above), she was wearing a RED-RED sheath dress from Vera Wang that would make Sydney Bristow (her sexy spy character on the hit drama Alias) sit up and take notice. Garner notched the Globes as her coming out event and the red evening gown made the right impression. Red is by nature an attention-getting color anyway, so Garner found a way to be noticed and appreciated while keeping in line with the respectful, demure atmosphere at the 2002 Globes event.

Commitment to Fashion at illuna fashion... One of the most frequently asked questions at illuna is, "How do you present fashion apparel in the best light online?" First, we provide the customer with clickthroughs to larger, close-up views, as well as detail views of the back of the dress. We photograph each and every dress we show, and we inspect the fabrics, embellishments, straps, bordering, rhinestones, and other parts of the gown. We maintain a dress catalog of information about the styles and work with each customer individually to make sure they get the best dress for their formal, evening, or special occassion event. We also invest in high-quality images and pictures that are attractive and representative of the designs, through the support of our outstanding graphic design and in-house graphic artist staff. You can see some their work for Metrofashion magazine in the fashion sketches section of the Metrofashion.

At illuna, we understand that buying formal gowns direct online is a personal experience. When you have to shop through order forms and emails about critical garment details like color appearance, pattern clarity, 3D features, embroidery and stitching, accents and jewelry appearance, fabric textures, and of course, body fitting and payment process, you need as much confidence as possible in the dress source. Our buyers research every item in stock in conjunction with the popular Metrofashion magazine.

We make sure that the trends you here about are considered when we stock prom dresses, bridesmaid dresses, evening gowns, special occasion formal wear, and party dresses, so that you can be confident your dress style is elegant, modern, and beautiful. Briefme.com says that Metrofashion is "everything you need in a fashion site." And we work hard to make that true. We attend major trade shows, source the international and regional fashion shows and catwalks, and stay involved in the emerging fashion scene through fashion schools and designer forums. At Metrofashion, we love fashion and it shows.

Prom Fashion Trends in 2008... Sparkle and shine on the dance floor in shimmering fabrics like organza, glitter ice lace, and lustrous satin. Unique beads and ribbon detailings enhance the figure: rhinestone along the bodice, lace-up ribbon corsetry, criss-cross open backs, or swirls of lace with glitter topping. New prom silhouettes this 2008 season are the modified Mermaid design with a slim bust, waist, and hips that flares out below the knee, the vintage-inspired Empire design with a ruched bodice and flowing, easy fit A-line skirting, and the lingerie-influenced Corset design with ribbon lacing along the front, side, or back. Feature colors this year range from classic black and white, pretty coral pinks and blues, and adventurous hot pink and turquoise.

Trends in 2005... Beaded and bangled, sparkling and luster fabrics factor big this prom 2005 season. Rich reds, burgundies, and deep romantic purples and blues capture the essence of the American Classic look. Winter white and classic black is still strong for early prom events, particularly in strapless dresses. Spaghetti straps and specitalty detailing along the bustline are important this year, including sequins, rhinestones, and delicate embroidery.
