s/o prom dress - post what you would choose today

[partiallysunny]

... Edit: without the flower

[Muddled]

It turns out that I wouldn't be able to afford to go to the prom if I wore the dress I wanted!

I am going to have to keep looking.

mebbe:


But I"m shaped COMPLETELY different now than I was in HS, so that wouldn't have been flattering back then.

Edited to fix picture.
(that one is only $55. I'm apparently STILL cheap)

Dude, these prom dresses cost almost as much as my wedding dress, WTF??

[fussbucket]

I'm sure I would choose not to attend again!

[beebeeeater]

Assuming I had an unlimited budget?

But in different colors.

Really, a short dress for prom HS? I have to be honest, I really dislike that trend.

[beebeeeater]

Though that dress would look faboo on you.

[beebeeeater]

GBCK, can you link that dress please? I might have to make a purchase.

[Muddled]

I would do short. Short dresses look better on me.

It's tea length which I would totally go for. Above the knee or at the knee would be too short.

Modcloth baby.
(although, to be fair, HS, I probably would have gone for long)

Motzie, I love that dress!

I'd probably go for one of these:

Option 2

or 3

I can't PIP for some reason. I'm posting what I wore so that you can fully appreciate that just about anything else would be an improvement!

I, like totally, just found my dress on etsy! Mine was a pale peachy pink and I wore a hoop with it. I also wore white lace gloves. It was a Jessica McClintock/Gunne Sax. I paid $99 for it and I still have the tags.

I kind of like this (I'm trying to think like a teenager). I wouldn't have been able to pull it off though in HS:
