High School Girls Get Ready for Prom Online.

Prom dresses among Twenga's top 20 most searched-for products

NEW YORK -- Twenga, the open shopping platform with the largest selection online, reports prom dresses are among this week's top 20 most searched-for items, revealing that high school junior and senior girls are heading straight to the Internet to find the best deals on the perfect dress for their special night. What's more, the most popular styles in recent years indicate an ever-growing change in trends.

Whereas teen girls used to opt for colorful princess-inspired gowns, the focus has shifted to shorter, more form-fitting cocktail-style dresses. Twenga has a vast selection to cater to all style preferences - classic or modern. For those going for a romantic and elegant look, a long satin gown is always a safe bet. Empire waist chiffon dresses are also great choices as they are flowy and flatter all figures. Finally, as a result of the immense popularity of the television show "Gossip Girl," short bustier dresses with bubble-hem skirts, as worn by Blair Waldorf, have become must-have dresses this prom season.

For a more elaborate and formal look, a shrug can be worn over a strapless dress and easily removed on the dancefloor. Beaded or rhinestone hair accessories polish any prom look by adding a hint of sophistication to updos and curls.
