On the lower ends of the polls 21 percent of those planning on wearing dresses that were either black, green, or pink, while 7 percent of students polled stated they had not chosen a color yet. 

   The most popular style of dress, tying at 28 percent each was long and off the shoulder dresses. Following behind in 2nd place corset top dresses, claiming a respectable 14 percent of those interviewed. In third, 7 percent of those surveyed reported to be attending the prom in a-line dresses, while the remaining 7 percent again reported to not have anything yet chosen.
