Yellow prom dresses in sunny floral prints

The ruffled midi on the dance floor

This is the one to dance in. The ruffles sit at the waistline, and they move every time you spin, which looks amazing on video. A V-neck and bare arms keep you cool in a packed gym or a hotel ballroom where the air conditioning gave up an hour ago.

Wear it with nude sandals and a small bag. A pair of gold earrings is all the jewelry the print needs.

Your date’s tie? White, beige or a soft blue look good next to it. A white corsage works too.

Pre-prom pictures usually happen in someone’s backyard before the sun’s down, and that’s where yellow really shines. Stand in the shade of a tree, not in full sun, and the flowers on the fabric won’t wash out. Hair down or up, it doesn’t matter much with the V-neck.

The short satin one for after-prom

For prom, yellow dresses in a mini length make sense if the night keeps going somewhere else afterward. Ours is cut in a smooth satin with a little elastane, short-sleeved, with a plain round neck and a floral print all over. Swap the heels for white sneakers at midnight. Throw a denim jacket on for the drive.

It’s easy to wear. Simple shape, bright color, and you don’t have to think about it.

Both are part of our summer collection and come back to the site with the warm weather in spring. Plan the fitting a few weeks before your prom date, and do a test dance in front of the mirror while you’re at it. If the midi pulls at the bust when you lift your arms, go up a size.

See every color on the prom dresses page, yellow for everyday among our yellow dresses, or see how we’d wear them to a ceremony on yellow for graduation.

Frequently asked questions

Does yellow look good on everyone?

It’s at its brightest on tanned skin, and the floral print helps on paler skin because it breaks up the color.

What shoes work with a prom yellow dress?

Nude or white sandals with a heel. Gold works for the evening, too.

Which size should I order?

Measure your bust and waist and match them to the chart. Both come in XS to XL. A UK 14 is our L, and if you land between two, the roomier one is nicer after four hours of dancing.

Can the satin mini go in the dryer?

Better not. Wash it cool on a delicate setting, dry it flat out of the sun and press it from the inside with a warm iron.
