Runway Hot looks for a Fraction of the Price! : Tony Bowls.





We are seeing more and more girls coming into our long island prom store looking to snag up a dress that suits multiple occasions. You fall in love with a dress for prom or sweet 16 and you want to be able to wear it again, not hide it in a closet somewhere! With designers such as Tony Bowls, its easy to pick out a dress for your event that is sure not to look dated or dreary in a year. His lines are always on point for the fashion season and often - ahead of its time!

Its all about getting that expensive runway look without spending thousands of dollars!The designer keeps up with these hot fashion trends for a fraction of the cost. The fall 2013 season is already giving us glimpses into runway looks of top designers such as  Roberto Cavalli, Michael Kors and Dolce & Gabbana with grand displays of shimmering gold metallics.

 Dolce & Gabbana’s ready to wear runway show had a huge finale with their models walking out sporting gold encrusted glitzy bodysuits that screamed Vegas, Baby!
This hot rock and roll feel is seen in a few of the newest Mon Cheri dresses.






Rich texture is created through this line in unusual ways. Styles such as TS21217 & TS21228 are covered in sequin plates that are shaped in an organic flowing manner to create a eye-catching ombre effect. These exclusive cocktail dresses carry a very high impact look that is sure to be noticed during homecoming, a night at the club or even a mardi gras vacation! It really depends on how you coordinate the dress with other items. Pair one of these sweet heart dresses with a cropped leather jacket for a rock and roll look the runways would be proud of - or add your own bit of personality to the outfit by choosing a cute fascinator!
Check out these celebrities wearing their own fascinators:





  The body conscious fit isnt for everyone. That is why the designer Tony Bowls offers several other styles to accommodate to a range of tastes.

   To the right style TS21212 boasts a structured sweet heart bodice covered in multi colored crystals that shine in the light beautifully. The skirt is comprised of a semi sheer light weight tulle fabric treated with a curled hemline. Its ruffles show a slight hint of the abstract animal print underskirt for that added flare of personality!

  To the left, TS21202 has a similar style with layers of light & flowing tulle decorated with laser cut mirror embellishments. This style, though also sweet heart, tends to be a bit more mature in taste with it's less poofy skirt and sophisticated color palette.

    2012 debut gowns from Forever Yours are showing beautiful eye catching designs as well has an increase in overall construction and quality materials. This of course is thanks to their new design chief Lucia Aguiar! The company's dresses received a major re-haul that left preexisting and newly debuted collections being made with a higher attention to detail and fabrication quality. What else could a girl wish for? haha

For others the Sweet 16 is a grand occasion to party hard! Regardless of the way you choose to celebrate her big day, Forever Yours has a gown to suit your style.

    Traditionally, quinceanera, sweet 16 & bat mitzbah ball gown dresses were in shades of pink or white to focus on purity and femininity. Forever Your's Sweet 15 line of ball gown dresses are shown in sweet and demure shades of pink but they are also offered in a wide range of other colors! Styles like Forever Yours 5950 come in colors such as : Aqua, Coral, Hot Pink, Ivory, Light Blue, Light Pink, Purple, Rouge, Sea Water Green, Turquoise & White.
 
   Color certainly is not the only variety being offered in this collection! Just by looking at the newest additions above you can see Forever Yours pays attention to the fullness of each of these dresses, being sure to offer some styles with a more demure fullness as well as dresses which can accomode some of the largest of slips! Forever Yours 5952 is made for a more modest almost prom style skirt that falls in diaphanous layers of organza to the floor like a tiered cake. This dress is certainly full but would not be so froofy as to get in the way of dancing! Fuller styles like Forever Yours 5956 can be made even more so with one simple step. Slip on one of our petticoats!

    Once you have chosen the dress you'll also need the perfect pair of shoes to compliment the style of your ceremony / party! For a girl looking to add a little height a  Metallic speckled high heel pump is always a favorite!They pair off wonderfully with a more simple dress as an easy way to add personality. Alternatively, some girls are not comfortable walking in a very high heel or may overshadow their boyfriends in height already! A lot of the girls in our store fall in love with the  Giselle. This shoe has a modest heel with a ruffle that goes down the center of several straps. The straps keep the shoe in place as she walks so that a less experienced heel wearer doesn't have to worry about them flipping off.
