Navy blue prom dresses with a deep velvet glow

Sparkle or velvet once the music starts

Lurex has metallic thread knit right into it. Every light in the gym catches it. Our lurex wrap midi ties at the waist with a belt, so you set the fit yourself. The knit stretches, too. It won’t squeeze at the dinner table, and the long sleeves cover your arms when the room gets cold between songs. There’s a short one as well, a sparkly knit mini with a wrap skirt and drape across the waist.

Velvet is quieter. It glows instead of glitters, and the navy goes almost ink-colored in warm light. The one-shoulder velvet mini leaves one shoulder bare and covers the other arm with a long sleeve. Under it you’ll need a bra without straps, or clear ones, and at the fitting lift your arm over your head to check nothing slips.

Honestly, pick by how you dance. Big moves, go short. Slow songs and a lot of photos, go long.

A navy blue prom dress that touches the floor

For a formal prom with a grand staircase moment, look at the floor-length velvet. The mermaid style fits close to the knee and flares out below, which makes it easy to walk in and good for posing. With the mermaid, your hair goes up and silver earrings go in. The other gown is quieter up top, with a boat neckline and long sleeves in dense velvet, and we’d add nothing but a navy clutch.

Both need heels. The hem shouldn’t drag on the dance floor, and a navy blue prom dress in velvet looks best when it just clears the ground. Bring your prom shoes to the fitting. That’s the only way to check the length.

Frequently asked questions

What color corsage goes with navy?

White or silver-toned flowers look great on it. Silver jewelry too.

Is navy too close to black?

In a dark room it’s close. Take a photo with the flash on, though, and you’ll see the blue right away. If you want real black, check out our black prom looks, and for something louder there’s a brighter royal blue.

Which size do I order?

Every style comes in XS–XL. An M is roughly a US 6–8, and a wrap gives you a bit of room to adjust at the waist. For the marble velvet mini with a stand collar, measure your hips.

When should I start looking?

Start a couple of months out, before everyone in your class is shopping at once, and leave time for a second fitting. Then compare colors on every prom style we make.
