5 Matching BFF Prom Dresses for 2023

Going to prom is one of the most memorable experiences of your school life. But, although most students want to go, it can be difficult to know what to wear. After all, this could be your last chance to impress that special someone or it may simply be the last impression you leave on many of your old classmates. 

Making the right impression starts with finding the perfect dress and accessorizing it. This will make you feel confident and ensures anything is possible. If you’re taking a date then you’ll want to coordinate your outfit with theirs. But, if you are flying solo you have the chance to match with your BFF. 

That means, taking a look at the best prom dresses currently available and selecting one that you can both look great in. It’s important to make this decision together and choose something that looks fantastic:

1. The Cut Out

You’ll find it hard to go wrong with a cut-out and it works on nearly any body shape. The cut-out section is at the midriff, it can be on both sides of a stretch across the middle. In general, a cut-out will have a long skirt with a thigh-high slit to emphasize the length of your legs. 

2. A One Shoulder Option

This is a great option for BFFs at the prom. The dress sits on just one shoulder, allowing you to indulge in plenty of detail around the chest area. You can opt for a flowing skirt as part of the dress but it is generally best to choose one that clings to your curves. 

It can help make a statement between BFFs by using multiple straps on the rear of the dress. It adds that special touch.

3. The Mermaid

Mermaid dresses have become extremely popular. This type of dress clings to your curves and is quite restrictive on your legs, ensuring you have a slim waist and appear to have a mermaid tail. 

You can up the ante by having a mermaid dress with a thigh-high slit and even wearing it on just one shoulder. 

4. The Classic Ballgown

It’s hard to go wrong with the classic prom dress, similar to the one Cinderella wore. Choose the colour of your dress to match your skin tone and make sure the skirt flows freely around you, perhaps with a train. This style suits everyone making it a safe bet for BFFs.

5. Go With The Sparkles

Bold dresses are in this year but that doesn’t mean you have to opt for a bright colour. Instead, find a style that you both like and get dresses covered in sequins. You’ll look and feel amazing while being guaranteed to catch everyone’s eye. 

Don’t forget, it’s not just the dress that should be matching. You will want to consider what hairstyles suit you both and how to accessorize the dress. That means jewellery, shoes, and your bag. Of course, these don’t have to match your BFF, it’s okay to match the dress and not all the extras.
