The 1970s was the disco era -- which means it was all about tight fitting, glitzy clothing for men and women. This is the time when lycra became a popular fabric of choice for many outfits. However, this look is more of a 1970s "club look" and may not be what you're looking for in a prom dress. Luckily, there are some really pretty dresses that were popular during this time that are ideal for a dance. During the '70s, maxi dresses became popular, as well as pleated skirts. Soft, flowy fabrics were used often, giving girls a very feminine look. Soft, muted, pastel colors were also popular during this time. Look for dresses with sweet little embellishments and details like ruffles, bows and buttons. Don't forget to sweep your hair up into a soft up-do. The makeup and hair styles during the 1970s were softer and more feminine than in previous decades. You'll also want to get a pair of cute pumps or ballet style flats to go with your 70s prom dress.
