Flirtatious and imaginative hi-low and convertible styles are the flagship of design in this Fall 2012 season of prom, pageant and banquet dresses by House of Wu's Studio 17 line! Bold unapologetic splashes of color such as fuchsia, cobalt, orange and indigo are the prominent scheme throughout.
The fishtail cut became popular in early Victorian era and over the years it has re-emerged as a popular way to show a little leg! Of course, since then the length has greatly changed. The waterfall skirts shown throughout this fall 2012 collection come to a mini length and sweep the floor in the back. Some of these are also done in a wrap method and made from semi-sheer luminous fabrics.
Are they flattering? Heck yeah! Part of the reason this runway style has made the transition to ready to wear garments is because of this. The combination of mini & maxi dress is a great way to show off your legs as well as utilize some fierce color blocking to flatter a more curvacious shape. The style is fairly convenient as well. You are given the freedom of motion on the dance floor that a short cocktail dress would offer without sacrificing the sophistication of a classically floor length prom dress.
