Glittering Red Dress (style#B10855RD) by Jovani

This spaghetti strap, red sequin number is meant to shine, order it early ladies. A sweetheart bodice and short skirt covered in red sequins is tied off at the waist with a cute red bow. It only comes in red, no other color would do it justice, and is available in sizes 0-12 ($300, edressmeprom.com).

Another glittering gown, but this time from Alyce with a strapless sweetheart bodice and fitted short asymmetrical skirt. This sexy silk number hugs curves and does not hide anything. It is available in red, black, silver and gold ($346, findmypromdress.com).

Tiered Strapless Dress (style # ez11868) by Betsey Johnson

I can see the Pipettes rocking out in this sassy fuchsia number. The tiered strapless prom dress features a fitted bodice top with a sweetheart neckline. The fun part is the skirt, a full tiered concoction that is embellished with black sequins and tulle underlay. The right accessories can take this short dress from rocker chic to adorably elegant.

Jiovani's Animal Print Sexy Prom dress is available online ($290, edressmeprom.com), in sizes 0-14.

Silk Chiffon Short Bubble Gown (style# 6027 )by Alyce

I like to think of Alyce's silk chiffon dress as an updated version of the popular Cinderella style dress. It is time for Cinderella to grow up and zip into this strapless pink silk bubble dress, the ruched and beaded bodice and belt add elegance to this sexy style. This fabulous dress is available online in three different colors, pink, yellow and kiwi ($306, findmypromdress.com) in sizes 0-24.

Ivory and Black Short Prom Dress (style# 6029) by Faviana

Can classic elegance be applied to a short bubble dress? Sure, and this ivory and black prom dress by Faviana is a perfect example. A timeless black and white look takes this spaghetti strap empire waist dress from traditional to fun, it features a large bow on the bodice and a bubble hem. You can find this dress by Faviana online ($170, edressmeprom.com) in sizes 0-12.

Low Back Short Prom Dress (style# 18783) by Paris

This across the stomach halter top dress, has a daringly low sexy back and a full skirt that is begging to be danced in all night. The skirt is about knee length so it is not as short as some of the short dress selections available, but the amount of skin that is showing on top balances everything out. You can order this dress in black or lime ($276, findmypromdress.com), available in sizes 0-20.

Sequin Top Short Dress (style#3035) by Sherri Hill

A short and sparkly version of glamorous ball gowns that actresses in classical movies danced around in, think Haynes sisters in White Christmas. This dress works so well because of so many things, first it features a classic cut with a strapless sweetheart bodice and full tulle skirt, the sequin covered bodice glams it up and the cinched belt and bow in the back gives it a flirty twist. Available only in royal blue ($300, edressmeprom.com) in sizes 0-8.

Pleated Short Prom Dress (style# P3273) from Flirt

Go ahead and flirt in this dress. This dress is funky, it's fun, it's different, and best of all it's hot. A strapless design, with pleating down the short length of the dress that finishes off with a light dusting of feathers. This short prom dress is available in electric blue, funky pink and black, check flirtprom.com for store locations.

Short Bubble Prom Dress (style# 9205) by Clarisse

This short satin bubble skirt by Clarisse is a steal at under $100. The strapless bodice top features a row of tiny pleats all the way down to a full satin bubble skirt. This sweet dress has volume and is simple enough that you can accessories away to give it your own style. Available in two colors, burgundy and aqua ($89. promgirl.net) in sizes 0-12. Sophia S. Mark
