Promgirl.net brings you some of the best prom dresses from America's top designers like Tony Bowls Clarisse, Terani, Jovani and Scala.  All of their selections are handmade and hand-beaded individually for the utmost in quality and elegance.

I absolutely LOVE the sultry, sexy style of the Clarisse Prom Dress 1388 and think that it has the perfect amount of sophistication and timeless fashion to be my "go-to" formal gown.  It reminds me of something the movie sirens of the 50's would wear.  All I need to pair perfectly with this dress is an extra long cigarette holder like Audrey Hepburn used to use! 

The beading of the Clarisse Prom Dress 1388 is magnificent and really adds that special sparkle.  This intricate beading wraps underneath the bustline as well as on the removable halter strap itself.  That's right, I said removable!  The Clarisse Prom Dress 1388 from Promgirl.net can also convert to a strapless gown, should you want to change its look.

It even comes complete with a matching taffeta wrap.  If you'd like to make sure you're ready for any special occasion, outfit your wardrobe with one of the amazing party dresses or other formal wear from Promgirl.net.
