Ugly prom dresses may not be top of your shopping list when prom season rolls around, but there's no denying they can be funny to look at. The Fashion Police have been out on patrol rounding up some ugly prom dress suspects, so whether you're looking for laughs, or just want to know what to avoid, we have them all here for you. From the famous "Pregant Prom Dress" to the Mullet Dress, the Shower Puff Dress, and The Most Obscene Prom Dress We've Ever Arrested, take a look below for some Ugly Prom Dress hell...
Yes folks, it’s prom season again with all those Christmas party and ball invitations about to come flooding in any moment. And what are you going to wear to your special event this year? How about this little number, which appears to be made from old army camouflage uniforms, and brown paper? With added sequins for that holiday pizazz! Just the thing, right? Jovani clearly think so as this is just one of their designs that features the brown paper-like fabric, and there are more featuring prints not dissimilar to the camouflage one shown here.
Sadly, this is only available to buy in stores, so bad luck if you’re not in the US. If you are in the US and you want this dress, you can check out the list of Jovani stockists here.
Well we guess ‘sexy’ is one word you could use to describe this dress. We can think of another one that also begins with S, though. Lionella describe this dress as having a ‘sensual revealing open front design’. Again, ‘sensual’ was not the S word we were thinking of.
Aside from being rather chilly attending your winter prom in this dress, we can’t see that the organisers would be too thrilled at you turning up to their black tie event with your midriff most of your flesh on show.
If you think it’s just the job for your formal event though, you can buy it here for £36.68.
We think the title of this post tells you all you need to know about the calibre of prom dresses that Lionella sell. Look at the poor model’s face. We think she’s just caught sight of herself in the mirror judging by that look shock and horror. Wait til she sees the back view: Continue reading →
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.
Aww, would you look at that! Little Pebbles Flintstone is all grown up and ready for prom! And she’s wearing a… bright yellow demi-shress, the kind of thing that looks good on…well, on no-one, really.
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…
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.
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.
