Best Ever Trunk Show Kicks Off 2008 Prom Dress Shopping


Monday was a madhouse at Sydney's Closet store in suburban St. Louis!

The first customer arrived an hour before we officially opened for the Trunk Show of 2008 Designer Prom dresses by Alyce Designs. But of course we let her and her mother in to try on ball gowns and sexy red-carpet dresses. The stream of shoppers never stopped for a minute!!!! With school out Monday for Martin Luther King's birthday, girls (along with their Moms, aunts, sisters and friends)drove from as far as Farmington, Mo and Belleville, IL to be part of the official kick off of Prom 2008 dress shopping. We loved seeing customers return after buying their Junior Prom dress at Sydney's Closet. When the last customer left, long after we officially closed, Sydney the Prom Pro, sized up several strong trends based on which 2008 Prom dresses customers took home:


  • Gem of an Idea: watch for rich jewel tones to be hot!

  • Pleats Please: tiny folds of fabric with the classic look inspired by Grecian Goddesses!

  • Hello Hollywood: red-carpet dresses inspired by what celebrities wear!

  • Poof You're a Princess: ball gowns fit for a fairy-tale will be big!



Thanks to everyone who made our Trunk Show such an enormous success and please don't forget to send pictures of you looking glam at Prom 2008!
