Ugly Prom Dresses: Alexia Lime Green Dress

alexia Ugly Prom Dresses: Alexia Lime Green Dress We can’t quite decide what the worst part of this prom dress is. The lime green? The fact that someone thought lime green and pastel pink would look good together? Or maybe it’s the daises. The idea that ‘less is more’ really doesn’t seem to be a factor here. But we think the major issue here is that it’s so very unflattering. She looks about four sizes bigger than she really is! Masses of lime green fabric is not a good look.

If you disagree, you can buy this from Be Flirty for £245.

Ugly Prom Dresses Roundup: The Ultimate Ugly Prom Dress Gallery!

Ugly prom dresses: they’re out there. Oh boy, are they out there. The Fashion Police have been arresting these ugly prom dresses for years now, in a bid to keep the prom-going public free of such horrors as the “Bahama Mama” and “The One That Looks Like a Toilet Roll Doll”, but the consequence of that has been that our jail is now overflowing with ugly prom dresses of all descriptions. Some are tacky, some are trashy; some contain such lurid colours and patterns that not even eyeball bleach can save our sight. Others have strange cut-outs, so little fabric that you may as well go naked, or bizarre dangly bits that we can’t even begin to fathom.  Some are even not that bad in the opinions of our readers.

Today, then, we’re bringing out all (or most) of the ugly prom dresses we’ve arrested over the years, and putting them on parade: a kind of rogue’s gallery, if you will. Don’t have nightmares…

Ugly Prom Dress Alert: Spare Ribs

ugly prom dress Ugly Prom Dress Alert: Spare Ribs

When a retailer uses the word “sexy” to describe a prom dress, it’s usually a red flag for the Fashion Police officers.

In this case “sexy” has been translated as “all the colours of the rainbow, as many different prints as we could manage, and, oh yeah, we ruthlessly attacked the bodice with a pair of shears, so now it’s attached to the skirt with a set of fabric ‘ribs’.”

We maintain that the wearer of the dress should be the one supplying the ribs, not the dress itself. If you beg to differ, however, this is $358 from here.

Ugly Prom Dress Alert: Backless Animal Print

animal print prom dress1 Ugly Prom Dress Alert: Backless Animal Print

Rarrrr!

Granted, this  isn’t quite as bad as some animal print prom dresses we’ve featured. We’ve seen worse, haven’t we?

Even so, we’re starting to think it’s time The Fashion Police producted some kind of Statute on the Acceptable Use of Animal Print. The first point could be: NOT ON A PROM DRESS, for the love of Gaga, no!

What do you think, readers? Would you wear this to prom? If you would, you can head over here and buy it.

Ugly Prom Dress Alert: Jovani and the dress of many colours

ugly prom dress jovani Ugly Prom Dress Alert: Jovani and the dress of many coloursWe apologise for any burning caused to your retinas during viewing of this dress. We were still seeing the pattern a few hours after we looked away from it, so we feel your pain.

Nevertheless, we feel the existence of this dress teaches us all an important lesson about colour mixing and how not to do it. It could be summed up as “Orange and green should not be seen, without a….” Actually, no: they just shouldn’t be seen. Ever. Especially when they’re fluorescent orange and lime green.

If you disagree, however, this dress is $500 and you can buy it here.

Ugly Prom Dress Sighting: the zebra-print prom dress x2

Nothing says “prom” quite like all-over animal print, does it?

Of course, with animal print – and particularly zebra print – being oh-so fashionable right now, perhaps this dress is simply “bang on trend“? Whaddya think?

[Thanks to Andrea for the report!]

We also have a confirmed sighting of a second zebra print prom dress, this time from Minnah:
