Prom dress shopping

*Jessica* · #1 (**permalink**) Jan 21, 03

omg the funnest thing EVER. There are so many nice dresses and i want ALL OF THEM! i even tried on this one that was bright pink and it had a purple camo design on it it was soooo nice but i would never wear camo to grad, lol. i'm going agaion tommorow and hopefully i'll be able to decide on one dress, i'm so excited!

ugh.. yeah.. I came to a conclusion....

ALL GRAD DRESSES ARE UGLY!!
with the exception of very few.. seriously.. I've looked at so many in magazines go window shoppin. and NO THANX..

but then again.. I want something VERY diffrent.. well not completely.. but sorta.. oi...
and I think part of it I'm gonna have made if I dont find something remotely similar.. ugh.. I hate being REALLY picky.. but I'm not wearing any of those ugly things..

no offence to those that like them.. of course!!

^woah, I'm getting extentions for grad too!!with red in them..

but yeah.. I did some searching to sorta find an idea of waht I want.. but of course I found nothing.. but i did find things like it to mix it together.. type thing..

I want something like these colors.. but I want the black and red a wee bit more vibrant~!

sorta this style mixed with this style

yeah, I'm picky.. wut can I say..
its HARD for me to find a dress that I like.. sooo lame...

bebu*funfun · #8 (**permalink**) Jan 21, 03

yea if only i had cleavage of some kind.. i wouldn't mind poppin those up in a corset or sumthing. im thinkin a strapless or a simple halter. maybe a 2 piece...and show my belly for grad? be a skank for grad.. hey can't go wrong with that one.

jovs..lets get them done together!! lol.. im doin red extentions too...really dark red though..so that it blends to my blacck natural hair color.

Bitchin · #9 (**permalink**) Jan 21, 03

hahaha.. yeha.. well.. I have like acorset fetish.. I dunno why.. so I HAVE to have one in my grad dress I figured.. and something to hide my gut.. I've been eating waaaay to much lately.. and might as well put my tits to work, right? HAHA
but yeha.. bev your tiny.. I wouldnt wanna see you in a corset.. I'd feel like fat bastrad from austin powers if I did.. :P

but we should tttooooottttaaaaalllyyyy get our hair done.. like c'mon.. who wants to sit in a chiar 6 hours alone? eh? we can have some cousin bonding moments.. haha..

OOoh I love that dress Jessica! It's so purdy

mmm J'nette in a corset.. yum :P

Yay for being able to make my own dress :D I'm going to grad again this year and I think i'm going with a gown from the early 50's. I wanted to make a dress from the 1800's, you know those Huuuge poofy ones. I was going to make the corest and blooners to go underneath as well but theres no way in hell i'd ever get that done in time.

Bitchin · #11 (**permalink**) Jan 21, 03

^are you tlaking about the old victorian dresses with corsets... sortrash but with class kinda thing?

if that makes any sense..

Courtney · #12 (**permalink**) Jan 21, 03

fuck dont get me started..
no offence but i hate puffy dresses..i cannoto stand them i think they look hideous...im gonna go for a nice,classy,elegant one but i dont know where????? knowing me ill be freaking out a week before grad.

krisamata · #13 (**permalink**) Jan 21, 03

jentter
i picture your grad dress as being a corsette thing on the top a dickies skirt on the bottom

Bitchin · #14 (**permalink**) Jan 21, 03

^BAHAHAHAHA.. omg.. cause thats pretty much wut it is gonna be if ya think about it.. oh.. dont forget the skater shoes ;)

Courtney.. I dilike poofy dresses too.. like the REAL poofy ones.. the ones that arent so poofy like the one I posted above aint bad.. but I would never wear it.. i'd be like HUGE in it..

haha.. we should do an fnk grad dress search.. BAHAHa

PokemonMasta · #15 (**permalink**) Jan 22, 03

yay i get to go to prom twice!

~lazee_grrl~ · #16 (**permalink**) Jan 23, 03

i love grad dress shopping...unless it's really close to grad and i can't find anything i want..

i bought mine really early last year..so when grad came around..i hated it..=(

MistressSpankME · #17 (**permalink**) Jan 23, 03

Hhmm.. not really victorian I dont think.. close but I think its a little after that era.. like right before the turn of the century. Something like you see in those old western movies with the saloons and wenches :P

I'll find a pic.

And I get to go to grad twice too!
last year I wore a really elegant empire line dress, but this year I think I want poof. I've always wanted a princess type dress but not like the ones you see in every store and magazine. They are pretty but not my style.

c.tard · #18 (**permalink**) Jan 23, 03

i like the slightly poofy dresses..
not too much poof. too much poof is scary.

but a slight poof is good.

i have to get my grad dress, but i'm not even looking yet.. i'll start looking a bit later when it gets closer.. it's only jan.. and my grad is mid-june (my commencement is friday the 13th :P)

Bitchin · #19 (**permalink**) Jan 23, 03

^hahaha.. yer post made me laugh with all the poofyness!! its kewt..

Jenna.. thats like sorta what I want.. though if I told my mom that she'd kill me.. but she has agreed to the thing about me wearing a corset.. WOOT!
but in that picture I ahve a bove with the chick in the dark blue.. thats has the victorian style but with the saloon girl thing happening.. which is what Iw ant.. though I think I already told ya what I want.. but if we want the similar idea..
we should go looking together.. cause I have no idea where to look!!!eeps.. :moon: :trippin: :kam: :kimmie:

MistressSpankME · #20 (**permalink**) Jan 24, 03

I do :P The corsets are freaking expensive though if you want a nice one, but I mean most people spend a few hundred on grad dresses anyways. And if it comes down to it I can always make a matching (or as close to matching as possible) skirt.

Bitchin · #21 (**permalink**) Jan 25, 03

^HAHAHAHA.. omg.. thats wut I'm doing..

my mom said she'd cough out the cash for the corset cause I want a REAL and nice one.. and I'm gonna see if my aunt will make the skirt for it for me.. YAY!!

I can't wait to go corset shopping.. OMG!

MistressSpankME · #22 (**permalink**) Jan 25, 03

damn you. maybe my mom will cough up the money for a corset haha
i;d change my whole dress idea if she'd just pay for a nice corset!

haha..my dress had a lil poof...i made extra poof to put under my dress but i didn't finish it in time...so now i just have poof..but it's cool to use under other dresses too..=P

it all depends on the dress..some really poofies are gorgeous..others don't need to be that poofy..~

Bitchin · #24 (**permalink**) Jan 25, 03

Jenna dooo it.. seriously.. thats basically wut I'm gonna do.. haha.. just find the right corset and make the skirt for it.. and I'm SET...

yay
