Beautiful Creatures

With the new hot supernatural romance coming out on Valentine's day, we wanted to take a look at the fashion in the movie. From the previews I have seen so far, the gowns look to die for! I love all the dark romance, the lace, the drama, and the beauty of the gowns.

 The main character, Lena, struggles with her powers as a witch being claimed for good or evil all while falling in love. I love the ballgown she wears with it's kind of high low effect. There is something very fairy tale princess about a full ballgown. A ballgown is a perfect prom dress for the girl looking for something that will stand out, move beautifully, and create gorgeous prom pictures!

We Totally Nailed It!

Who watched the Grammys last night? If you didn't watch did you check out the fashion reviews?

We predicted some of the "To Look For" styles, and I must say we did a really good job! Here's some of our favorite on trend highlights:

1. Sheer Inserts: These were a huge hit with stars like Kelly Roland, Faith Hill, Chrissy Teigen (John Legend's fiance'), and more revealing slivers of skin behind mesh. We especially love the curves enhancing lines of Kelly's dress (similar to the Jovani 762 we featured last time!).

2. Sleeves: From long sleeves, one sleeve, cap sleeves, and sheer sleeves, we saw them all last night! Jennifer Lopez took a note from Angelina's leg barring frock last year and updated it with one long sleeve balancing the bare leg with a covered arm. Mika Newton looked angelic in a white gown with gorgeous sheer beaded sleeves. For a sultry sleeved look try: Cinderella's Closet Collection Page 109 or if you are looking for a softer look try: Sherri Hill 1596

3. Print Accents: Adele, Estelle, Carrie Underwood, it seems the songstresses of the night were called by the siren song of print! We love the gorgeous hand painted look on sparkling sequins of Cinderella's Closet Collection Page 046! And if you love the blue like on Carrie try Cinderella's Closet Collection Page 069.

NYC Fashion Week and the Blizzard

Every designer’s worst nightmare… Fashion Week is like Prom Night for designers. This year the snowstorm up north has interrupted shipments of key items. Marc Jacobs’ team told Women’s Wear Daily, “We’re missing bags, shoes, and two fabrics.”

If you are planning to order your prom dress online, we recommend ordering as early in advance as possible. You never know if the dress of your dreams is in stock. Cinderella’s Closet has over 5,000 prom dresses in stock, but not every dress is immediately available in every color and every size; that would be millions of dresses! When we don’t have your dress in your color and size available in our store we check with the designer who may have it in their warehouse or may have to make the dress which can take 12 weeks!

We want to make sure you find a dress that is perfect for you. We are happy to work with you if you have questions about how to order or what is available in time for your prom. Remember to order early so you can get the dress you want and have time for alterations and picking out the perfect accessories.

The weather has also made it difficult for the models to arrive on time for Fashion Week. While most of us don’t have to worry about snow during prom, we can worry about rain. Our recommendation? Have a stylish umbrella on hand if rain is possible. And after prom pictures? It’s the perfect opportunity to dance in the rain!



We love Page 011 of the Cinderella’s Collection with chivalrous Jacob holding this gorgeous parsol over Miss Georgia Jazz Wilkins!

55th Annual Grammy Awards

Here at Cinderella’s Closet, we love Award Season almost as much as Prom season, which lucky for us they happen at the same time each year. The Glamour, the Style, the Diamonds, the Dresses! Sunday will be a great day to get inspired by the red carpet for your prom. 

Today we thought it would be fun to give one star a second chance so to speak. We took a look at Huffington Post ‘s Worst Dressed List from Grammys 2012 and redressed Fergie, who was the worst “Worst Dressed” in our opinion. 

Tell us what you think. 

Fergie’s Orange Leopard Lace Disaster: 

We love orange for a big night out, especially for those dare to stand out girls like Fergie. We love lace for adding some mystery and a sexy glimpse of skin. We even love orange lace. But we draw the line at orange lace with a leopard looking underwear layer. It’s just too much…too much pattern, too much color, too much skin.

Our Pick for Fergie: Night Moves Style 6725 

Night Moves Prom Dress 6725
We love this sexy style from Night Moves. The lace mini with sheer black overskirt is both sexy and elegant. For petite girls (like Fergie who is just 5’3”) there are a couple reasons why a dress like this would be flattering. The asymmetrical details like one shoulder strap, diagonal pleated band at the waist, and long in the back skirt will all give the illusion of extra height. 


The Grammys are coming up this Sunday, February 10th. Who are you looking forward to seeing most?

Night Moves Trunk Show

We've had quite a few calls for style 6746, which is Night Moves' Style of the week! Come check out all of our Night Moves Prom Dresses this weekend for our Night Moves Trunk Show!
