If you know anything about Rachel Allan, you know that they pull out all the stops when it comes to their designs. Throughout the past few seasons, Rachel Allan has produced some of the most cutting-edge designs, that have set major trends for formal wear. This season is not any different, these styles are stunning! It is evident that Rachel Allan is not afraid of pushing the design envelope!

One major trend in Rachel Allan’s 2017 prom line, is the unique use of embellishment. We often see beading on necklines and bodices, but this time the bead work accentuates the entire gown giving the dress that much needed “wow!” factor. The bead work really completes the dress and makes for a perfect and fun prom look. Style 7501 is a perfect example of this fresh take on beading. If you look at the dress, you can see that it is beaded across the waistband, as well as towards the bottom of the high-low skirt. This element of design is also used in style 7502. This two piece mermaid is beaded from mid thigh, down on the mermaid skirt. The beading really adds to the simplistic lines; it gives the dress much needed detail without using any kind of print. These dresses are equally as fresh as they are trendy and we are swooning over them!

Rachel Allan is also the go-to designer for those stunning, color blocked gowns. What is coloring blocking? It is where the top and the skirt are two different colors that greatly complement, or sometimes contrast, one another. We first fell head over heels for this new color scheme when Taylor Swift wore one to the Grammy Awards back in 2016. Ever since she rocked her orange and pink color blocked gown, the trend has really taken off! Not sure if a color blocking and beading are for you? Check out style 7537; this fun two-piece comes in four different color sets and is SO gorgeous! This dress also has shorts underneath its detachable skirt so you can dance around, worry free! Another fabulous color blocked dress is style 7513. This lovely two piece comes in three different color choices. Make sure to check out the rest of Rachel Allan’s prom collection to see the rest of the color blocked dresses!

The beaded skirts are often seen on dresses that are color blocked, too. Rachel Allan ties together color blocking and their unique beading style to perfectly formulate styles beautifully.
