Prom dresses made in the mermaid style are also known as trumpet skirts because they only flare below the knee. The dress is very fitted from bust to knee. The mermaid portion of the skirt has tulle underneath to make it stand out. It can also be cut into a high low design and with or without a train. This design has emerged as a popular style for prom in the past few years, and 2012 is no exception. You do need to be of average or above average height in order to carry the full effect of this style. This prom dress style looks really great on hourglass figures.
