Dresses

Ok, well my grad is coming up quite soon and I need an opinion as to what kind of dress I should get, I have a few things in mind but opinions would be greatly appreciated especially for those of you that know me because then you can form an opinion of what would look better on me.

I was thinking of either having a really low neckline or really low back.. something semi-provocative but classy like this black dress.
Or a dress resembling the one Audrey Hepburn is wearing in that picture except less poufy, the only problem with this one is it sort of follows the generic Cinderella type dress that every girl seems to wear at Grad and I want to steer as clear from that as possible.

I'm also thinking of getting either one of these dresses for Commencement, I've always wanted something from Betsey Johnson so I think this would be a pretty good excuse to get it :)

I'm all about the poofy pretty dresses for grad so I dont know if I would be much help to you. I love the audry dress too. I'm going to offer up a pic even though i'm sure its not what your looking for. But I think its pretty and I want to dream again cuz its been two years since my grad and I want to go dress shopping again dam it. :p

You seem to want to go for a more slender classy look. maybe take a stroll down robson or into some custom design shops. I ended up having mine made for me for my grad since I wanted a certain style that could not be ordered into canada. Maybe just collect ideas and take it to a place that can make it for you.

You've got amazing taste :)

I vote the betsey johnson one- i'm a little impartial though, I love her stuff. Everytime I walk by her store on Alberni I just drool over the stuff on display...

Thats what I've been doing. I wish I had an event (and the money to afford it) that I needed to really dress up for just once each year.

Hopefully I'll be able to fullfill those dreams a little bit when I start making grad dresses next year.

Shadi, for some reason i can completely picture you in that first one. CLEAVAGE!. I would imagine you would look beautiful in all those dresses though, and they are all really pretty in their own way.

If I could have done things differently for grad, I personally would have bought a dress that I would have been likely to wear again. I know that a lot of girls don't mind spending a lot of money on one dress that they'll ever only wear once.. but after all was done i just wished I'd spend $200+ on a dress that I could wear again...

that's just me ;)

I wore pinstriped pants, stilettos, a one shoulder lacey top, long black gloves, and a top hat to my grad. My "dates" were 4 of my best girl friends.

Big pimp-in...

The Audry one is gorgeous. Some advice on "pouffy" dresses- They are impossible to walk, dance, and move it without knocking someone or somthing over. I had an A-line type skrit on mine and i still found it hard to do those things. The girls with the realy big dresses had some major issues lol. Good luck with yuor dress search, and post some pics when you find it! :)

Maybe something like this beautiful Oscar de la renta but in a different color? Cause then you get the puffy princess look...but it's not what the other girls will have!
