2010 Prom Dresses

Mermaid Prom Dresses

The mermaid silhouette is in again for Prom 2010. We can understand why you'd be eager to find the perfect mermaid prom dress, as the number of occasions for which such a dress is appropriate is slim (if you're not a movie star, anyway). While most mermaid prom dresses will be more expensive than shorter party dresses, there are quite a few affordable options available at major department stores near you. We've picked out a few of them for you!

Jump Red Strapless Mermaid Prom Dress

This cherry red satin gown features a mermaid hem with cascading chiffon ruffles. It would look beautiful with matching red accessories - and if the band plays "Lady in Red," it's your night. It's available for just under $200 at Macy's.

Jump Black and White Strapless Mermaid Gown

At just over $100, this black and white gown is a much less expensive take on the mermaid trend. It would look great with a pair of over-the-top earrings and a dramatic updo. It's also available at Macy's.

Jessica McClintock Bubble Hem Mermaid Prom Dress

This purple Jessica McClintock dress technically has a bubble hem, but it basically looks just like a mermaid gown. It's fun, flirty, and super age-appropriate. It retails for about $179 at Dillard's and Jessica McClintock.
