 We’re confused. There’s still a good while to go before prom season kicks off, and yet already the makers of ugly prom dresses seem to have gone into overdrive. The following suspects were all rounded up by Fashion Police Officer Alyssa, and come from ShopShop.com. We’re starting of with the yellow number above, which we call “The Ugly Garden of Eden”. There are more under the jump, though, so if it’s ugly prom dresses you’re looking for, well, you’ve come to the right place…

 If, like us, your abs finished 2008 looking a little less ripped than the way they started it, courtesy of all that lovely Christmas food, this dress is probably your worst nightmare.
Actually, on second thoughts: forget the freakin’ abs. Let’s just say that if you’re anything like us, this dress is probably your worst nightmare. Because, let’s face it, you’d be as well just going out naked and having done with it, no? It’s not just the abs that are exposed here: the cut-outs go all the way down to the hip bones, and skirt dangerously close to the crotch. Too close for comfort, in fact.
This is the way evening-wear has been going lately. The body-con trend was one thing, with all of those tight fighting bandage-style dresses, but this? This is something else entirely. And if it’s a look you’re into, well, we can only hope one of your New Year’s Resolutions was to hit the gym hard…

You know, The Fashion Police could swear we saw that bustier in the TK Maxx lingerie department sale, just before Christmas. Looks like some enterprising person snapped it up, sewed a black skirt onto the bottom, et voila – one Ugly Prom Dress! And the great thing is, you won’t even have to wear underwear with it because… well, because the top half of it IS underwear. Genius.
The description on the retailer’s website describes this as "ethereal". Well, that’s one way of putting it we guess, although it possibly wouldn’t have been the word The Fashion Police would’ve chosen…

Missing our Ugly Prom Dress of the Day column? Don’t worry, it’ll be back as soon as prom season starts up again, but in the meantime, feast your eyes on this little beauty, which comes to us from Alaai Prom Wear and retails for $355.
Is it just us, or us anyone else’s fingers just itching to grab a pair of scissors and give this dress a little "trim" right now?

It just goes to show, folks, it doesn’t have to be prom season for the ugly prom dresses to be out in force. If there’s one thing The Fashion Police have learned, it’s that you have to be ever-vigilant against these crimes of fashion, and not let your guard down, even for a second. Because if you do, this is the kind of thing that happens.
This is another dress in the “Oh my God, I have fungi growing all over my body!” mould. It’s the second such crime we’ve had to apprehend this week and we can only hope it’ll be the last. Just be to be on the safe side, though, we’re issuing a warning: be on the lookout for these crimes of prom fashion, people. Let’s get them before they get us!
(Thanks to Officer Adrienne for sending in this report!)

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you news of an Ugly Prom Dress in our midst. This dress was spotted at 4prom.com by Fashion Police Cadet Gabriella, and although it’s nowhere near prom season, never let it be said that the Fashion Police failed to act on the reports of fashion crimes they receive.
These two young ladies look thrilled to be wearing dresses which leave their stomach’s looking like they’re covered in plague boils, don’t they? That’s nice. We’re glad they’re enjoying themselves while they can because we somehow don’t think the Fashion Police jail will be even half as much fun…
 On the website we found this dress on, every single other gown was being modelled by a real, live human being.
Every one except this one.
Our best guess is that they just couldn’t pay anyone enough to slip into this. Seriously, even the mannequin’s turning her head away, like she’s thinking, "Oh God, please don’t let anyone recognise me in this…"
Poor mannequin.
Of course, if you’re going for an orange prom dress, then you’re clearly not the kind of girl who likes to fade into the background. (Unless your prom is being held inside a giant orange, obviously). This isn’t the easiest of colours to wear at the best of times, so we can’t help but wonder why the designer of this dress decided to make things even more difficult on the person who purchases it by adding the tacky net bodice?
That question is probably doomed to go unanswered, because we can’t imagine many of you wanting to wear this, but if you do, you can buy one fro $149 here.
 A companion dress to the ‘Bahama Mama’, this dress also comes from the BeBora Rachelle stable, and is called "Tango Mango" – presumably because the colours will evoke sunset beaches and juicy, tropical fruits.
That’s all well and good, of course, but what we’re seeing here is a piñata. Is anyone else seeing a piñata?
The dress is sadly sold out in the short version, but don’t despair – we’re sure some crepe paper in "tango" and "mango" colours could step into the breech here and help you fashion your very own tropical delight of a dress. Or you could just buy the long version here.
Thanks to Cybele for reporting this one – remember, if you’ve spotted an Ugly Prom Dress recently, you can report it to The Fashion Police here.

 You know how if you sprinkle cress seeds on a carpet and then water them, you can get it to grow? We really hope this poor girl managed to catch the varmints who did something similar to this prom dress of hers, which kinda looks like the bodice of it is alive.
Now, we know there will be those of you who like this one, so those people can buy the dress here. Personally, we wouldn’t like that layered skirt even without the flora and fauna attached to it, so we’ll be giving this one a miss…
Spotted an Ugly Prom Dress? Report it to The Fashion Police!

Yes, it’s a denim prom dress. A prom dress made from… denim. As for the tendrils around the neckline, well, we don’t know what they’re made from, but our best guess would be it’s one of those lace doilies you sometimes see on people’s dinner tables, or hanging over the back of seats. So, doily and denim: any takers? Oh come on, it’s only $249…
