Prom season always seems to begin with a frantic search in a relentless effort to find the best prom dresses. When in doubt, though, a maxi dress is always the perfect fit. Not only is it great for dancing, but it also has a classic silhouette that will look good even ten years from now.

And if you still don’t find your perfect match, you can check out some more stunning prom dresses over at SherriHill.com. Pair with a strappy heel or wear it with flat sandals for a boho look.
