Perfect Blue Peacock Feather Prom Dress

I found this perfect, blue peacock feather prom dress while doing a search for MORE prom dresses with feathers similar to the ensemble I put together yesterday.

Immediately following yesterday's post, more than a few girls contacted me to say they needed something in a more "forgiving" style and with a slightly longer skirt.

This gorgeous plus size junior dress may be exactly what these young ladies are looking for.

There are no actual feathers on the dress there are other decorative details including embroidered peacock feathers that are applied with metallic embroidery thread and sparkling beads on the short mesh skirt.

The lightly padded bust and the full skirt may be the ideal style to give any girl a sexy, hour glass figure.

The design of this dress makes it suitable for a teenage girl's prom as well as a formal cocktail dress.

The perfect shoes would be either a champagne or silver satin evening sandal or a strappy metallic silver platform.

The style name of the sandals is as eye-catching as the shoes themselves; Fierce! Which is exactly what a teenage girl's look will be when she steps out for a night on the town with them on her pretty feet! For this dress, silver metallic seemed a little too "bright" and shiny. Pewter somehow seems more appropropriate and allows the dress to shine.


This pewter color, beaded evening bag is adorable but I worried that the beadwork may be too much and compete with the decorations on the bodice of the dress. What do you think?

LOVE IT!
The beading and sequins are exquisite and the color is perfect but I am still looking for something simpler that works. I looked at a lot of pewter metal bags but kept going back to this one because it looks so expensive but only costs $29.99.



Since the blue peacock feather prom dress has a romantic, retro look my hair and makeup suggestions have a 60s feel. Bump the hair, layer on the gel eyeliner and repeat the vivid colors of the dress in your eye shadow color palette. This prom dress has a big personality and calls for a dramatic hairdo and makeup!

The Perfect Prom Dress with Feathers, Accessories and Shoes

Finding the perfect prom dress with feathers will be easier than ever this year! Our favorite designer BeBe has gotten us off to a spectacular start with this sexy yet sweet style that would be the standout at any cocktail party or prom.

If there is a rule against wearing a strapless, short dress with feathers, simply buy a bolero with (dyed to match?) feathered trim to bring your dress up to code for the occasion without sacrificing any of the sexy details that will make it a wardrobe favorite for clubbing spring break and during your summer and possibly winter vacations!


Beyond a short jacket or bolero, you will need a stunning minaudiere or evening clutch in silver or gold.

This sparkling evening clutch purse is CHEAP and so perfect for for this dress as well as functional. It's just the right size to hold your iphone, keys to your car and a few hair and makeup essentials.

Regardless of which metallic color that you prefer, you will find yourself drawn to this purse again and again for years! It's just that timeless and versatile.


And now for the perfect pair of strappy, evening sandals to show your pretty pedicured toes and legs to full advantage.

Beading, sequins and crystals are delightful but these platform peep toe heels with a metallic, gold snakeskin print have that "something different" that is unexpected and very, very sexy.

The best hair and makeup for this prom dress with feathers would be dramatic but soft. No stark, black eyeliner, wild eye shadow or bright lipstick will be necessary to draw everyone's attention when you enter the room.

Your hairstyle should be loose and flowing if you have long hair. If your hair is short; something feathered would be fabulous. Treat your face, hair and body as an extension of the feathered short skirt of the dress.
