Skirt length has been a battle fought for decades, with certain mindsets addressed in different generations. There are those that still feel a floor-length train is more elegant or modest, while others recognize the fun and flirtatious appeal of a knee-length skirt. A new trend in the dress trade has been the creation of a high-low train, where the front is knee-length but the elegance of a floor-length train is carried through with the back reaching the floor. This trend has had some people lost in confusion, while others delight in the different look of the dresses.

For prom, a high-low dress can be a great choice. There are various colours and designs with this type of train. For instance, the Sheath/Column Strapless Short Front Long Back Prom Dresses and the Strapless Lace Dress Short Front Long Back Custom Prom Dresses are great choices. The first option provides a strapless look and a fitted upper dress with a ruffled look at the bottom of the front, while the back has a graduated look to appear part of the skirt. Meanwhile, the second choice provides the effect of a strapless dress with a train or other added outer layer. Both will give you the fun and yet elegant look. Both are available in numerous colour choices and can be requested with a different sleeve option if sleeveless isn't what you are hoping to wear.

There are other options as well, for those who want a high-low dress but have yet to see something that really speaks to their sense of style.
