Alyce Prom - A Beautiful Designer Prom Dress

While there are many beautiful designer prom dresses, few fashion houses were founded and continue to be run by a truly talented designer; Alyce prom is one such. This family owned fashion house has designed beautiful gowns since 1967 with some of the world's most famous and beautiful women having worn them.

Jessica McClintock and Jovani prom dresses were both founded by designers with a genuine passion for designing evening wear for women. Jessica McClintock designs are very wide ranging encompassing, short cocktail dresses, modern figure-hugging and old-world romance at prices that most can afford. A Jovani prom dress is generally more expensive and, perhaps, more glamorous with many of its creation being worn by Hollywood leading ladies.

Alyce prom dresses combine the high-end glamour of Jovani but at a more affordable price of McClintock. But, affordable doesn't mean less desirable. Stars like Denise Richards, Britney Spears and Meg Ryan have all worn one.

Alyce Hamm was born in France and attended the prestigious Ecole de Couture in Paris. After graduating, she and her brother founded the company that they both continue to run today. Perhaps the amazing success of the company relies, not just on Alyce's design skills, but because the business is a family concern. Indeed, the present Director of Design and Production is Nathalie Lambert, Jean-Paul's niece and Alyce's goddaughter.

The current collections are Black Label and B'Dazzle. The Black Label collection is a very sophisticated collection that draw heavily on formal styles of the past that are given a modern interpretation. With this collection you can expect bustier bodices, tired organza skirts, lace-up corsets in off-the-shoulder designs. These gowns are ideal for all figure types, from petite to plus-size so, no matter your body shape, you'll look gorgeous in any one of these dresses.

The B'Dazzle is definitely more contemporary and is for the woman who wants to stand out from the crowd. The designs are cutting edge and very figure-hugging. The luxurious fabrics and tasteful adornments help to give both the dress and the wearer a sexy, but classy, look. This collection is as every bit Hollywood starlet in look as a Jovani prom dress.

If you're looking for that special designer prom dress then you should take a close look at the current collection of prom dresses by Alyce. Since these dresses first appeared they have picked up many awards including 20 DEBI and numerous DICA awards. You'll know exactly why they've been awarded so many when you were one to your prom.
