Alyce Paris Prom Dresses

Alyce Designs is one of the oldest prom lines in the United States. Since the 1960's, Alyce has been a significant designer of prom and pageant dresses. The company started in France and was then moved to the United States. Now the company's headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. Owner's, Alyce Hamm and her brother Jean-Paul Hamm first started the company, but now Alyce Hamm's nieces, Claudine and Nathalie, run the show. Alyce Designs is known for its classic yet current dresses in a variety of bold colors and pastel colors. All of the prom dress websites featured on TPW carry this brand.

Many girls choose their dresses for proms, pageants, military balls, and other formal events when they want a dress that is a safe pick for any occasion. Alyce is also known for their fully beaded, strapless, A-line, chiffon, floor-length gowns as well as their beautiful ball gowns with sparkle tulle skirts. The beaded, a-line gowns usually have a starburst beadwork pattern that starts on the side of the waist and goes out from there. This starburst pattern at the waist makes the size on most people looks smaller! This type of dress makes for a beautiful Junior or Senior Pageant dress. It is also perfect for a military ball or debutante ball.

The Alyce Paris ball gowns have been around for a long time and are the one thing that Alyce knows that they do well. Many girls have won pageants in Alyce ball gowns. We love the sparkle tulle and the glimmering appearance that it gives off under stage lights. Short dresses can also be found in the Alyce Paris line. The short skirts are made in solid colors as well as multiple color combinations and prints. Alyce Paris makes a lot of dresses in taffeta in many beautiful iridescent colors, like purple, teal, pink, and turquoise.

A standard neckline for Alyce Paris prom dresses is the sweetheart, but you will also see spaghetti straps, halter tops, one-shoulders, and everything in between. Colors that are used most often by Alyce are Turquoise, Red, Black, Fuchsia, Apple, and yellow. Ombre fabrics have been in the collection as well for the last ten or more years. Alyce likes to use combinations of black and red, turquoise and pink, green and black, turquoise and black, fuchsia and black, and black and white on their ombre dresses. Many of the great designs by Alyce come with corset backs. Corset backs allow for a better fit in the waist and bust. Alyce Paris is an original designer with looks that work for all social events.
