And while it might seem like a strange alternative to a dress, it's actually perfect for the important occasion. Rompers for prom are a great substitute for the uncomfortable, constricting, and predictable tulle explosions disguised as gowns. If you want to stand out and make a statement in the right way, choose one of these 19 beautiful jumpsuits for your big night.
