i was never too fond of long dresses.
probably kuhs im a bit on the chunky side and im 5'2.
so ive always gone with short dresses.. i think it makes my legs look a bit longer (:
and i always go cheap.
i hate spending so much on dresses kuhs i think its a waste of money if yer only gonna wear it once.


homecoming O6

it cost me $45 at burlington. i got lucky and got the last one (:


prom O7
im up for unique things.. and i was a bit hesitant to wear this.. but it was love at first sight.
my friend thought it looked like a tablecloth.. but i loved it.

i borrowed this from someone i didnt even know. i saw a picture and i asked my friend to ask her for it.

homecoming O7

bought it from bebe for $105


winter formal O8

i dont have better pictures for wf.. but it was a handkerchief dress with sequins located on the black.
$40 at image.


im planning to go for a print dress for this year's prom.
gluck to everybody who hasnt gone shopping for prom yet!

forreals. lol.
my dress last year for our formal =]
it was originally a short bubble dress. but i made some alterations and stuck a piece of material with the wrong coloured yellow underneath XD luckily i did though. coz there were two other girls who bought the same dress X) but they both had pink. yellow pwns pink X)

i'm thinking about getting either

this dress in red

or

this dress in gold or red

what do you guys think?

^ omg I love the 2nd one .. it'd probably look really nice in red . Where'd you get it?

Pretty!! But what kind of underwear did you wear with this dress? Haha


I've always imagined my dream prom dress like this one! It's so beautiful! *_* I want it!

I think I'm just gonna go buy a cheap dress at H&M or something.
Kindah sad when everyone else are gonna be there with their $200 dresses,
but I'll look for a nice pair of shoes and jewelry so I'll look hotter anyway! XD
Only jr prom but everyone seems to take it real serious.

hahah the dress looks see through but its actually not.
it has a nude color base inside the white lacy outer layer.
i jss wore spankies for that one.

well its not for my prom but my graduation ball. What i love:

I am thinking about this dress...

^ i saw that dress in the stores. i don't think it'll look good on a person. it seemed really unflattering; not clinging to much, contrary to waht the pic looks like

haha michelle, you put a happy face on jeff's facee. (:

mann good luck to prom shopping, we got workkk. D: but i'm pretty much set.

this in orange. (: i love orange.

it's double slit so I'm a little worried would it look like a flap in the middle of my legs -.-

if anyone's looking for shoes

i just got mine at ALDO today & i love them
so much to choose from & not terribly expensive.

Oh gosh really? More of a reason for me to not go this year. GAH

I wanted this dress last year, and after a lot of searching I finally found a website selling it. YAY!

would you guys wear flats with a floor length dress or would that just look weird...? xD

^ ur going for formal, i wouldnt wear flats lol

Plus heels make ur body looks THAT much better =]

^^ i'd only wear flats if your heels are killer and you don't want to dance in them... like, when you're taking pics and when you go out to dinner, wear a pair of heels... but once you're there at the dance, if your shoes are killers (like mine last year) then it would be wise to bring flats to dance in... that's what i did last year cause my heels were 4 inches with tiny straps...

*Gonie

the thing is...my date is not even an inch taller than me xDD

^ ooo darn! that suckss hm... Its okay, i have seen couples that have the girls taller than the guys =]

you are nowhere near the chunky side! i love the picture with you and your date with the overalls. you are just so adorable and the hair is fabulous.

i completely agree with you on spending a lot of money for prom. school is so stressful so prom is the only time for me to have fun. haha so i don't think i want to waste a lot for my dress.

Does anyone know where I can find a dress that looks similar to this one?

^ that dress is GORGEOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

im having second thoughts on the dress that i want now.
its a SKY leopard print mini and $250 including shipping and handling...


and uninfatuated: thank you hahhaha but i only posted up pictures that i thought looked alrightttt. looking for cheap dresses are absolutely painful. it never works out. i got lucky for a couple of them but i have no luck this time.

I REALLLLLLLLLY like this one, but
1. I'm a bit chubby; is strapless not flattering, then? I heard it can either harm/flatter you, so not sure.
2. The color... I'm a bit tan, but still have the Asian skin, so I don't know.

quick question to those who went prom dress shopping

Did you guys see any prom dresses with sleeves (any length) and full backing?]
like http://www.gownsbysimpleelegance.com/gowns...romDresses.html those I guess, only... cheaper xD I like the sapphire blue one and mango mermaid looking ones on the bottom

I found a few by google but theyre so expensive, and they look like theyre hard to come by in stores =.="
damn bacne and fat upperarms =[

Or can I just get a mini shawl and pin it on for the whole time? Is that wierd? X__X


I think that would be hot in red X__x and I really like the second one, cheap too =o but damn wont suit my build X__X

i was just wondering has anyone bought from GOJANE.com ? its pretty inexpensive for the dresses and they're pretty cute , just wondering about the quality of it.. say this one for example [

i just got this as my prom dress in turquoise [:



$173+free shawl. its pretty cheap compared to the other dresses in similar styles

anyone know where I can get a dress similiar to SHY?i really like her dress here

oh... in that case.. talk to you date... if he doesn't mind you being taller, then go for the heels.. but if he does, then wear flats... but it's also up to you too... do you want to be taller or not... i dont' know if i was of any help...

*Gonie

I got this for $21. Is it okay for prom? Reminds me of a short wedding dress :|

I want this.

^ that dress is gorgeous

if you get it, show us a picture!!

That looks fine for prom. Just make sure you accessorize and have a gorgeous hair style. =]

sweetiegirl168 where did you get your dress from?

discountdressup.com [:

I wanted to go to an outlet to get my dresses..since I'm going to two proms and I don't want to spend too much.
Does anyone know nice outlets near LA?

^ Iunno if Ventura is near LA, but there are outlets there! Theres a bcbg outlet, saks fifth, and betsey johnson I believe? They're all in the same plaza/square. I don't live down there, but I went to it before.

Sooo, I got my dress and now I need shoes. Where is everyone getting their shoes? Besides ALdo, macy's, nordstroms...>__<" Any suggestions?

Does this dress look too wedding-dress-like? ><'
(It's cream-colorish.)

yea looks a bit wedding like cause of the top

i was planning on wearing a purple dress

i like this one but i got no boobs for it





what do guys think about purple?

ooo. that sucks. i feel your pain as im also pretty damn tall for an asian girl so im pretty much doomed next yr for prom.
i think you should wear some small heels (probably no more than 2 in.) for pictures and stuff since they look tons hotter than flats but switch to flats once you go get on the dance floor. it doesnt look THAT awkward when the girls not too much taller than the guy.

if you're mean enough, you can totally torture and embarrass your date by making him wear height inserts like the super junior guys.

brands like LaFemme and Jovani and Sherri Hill are so expensive. Do anyone know where you can get the same dress but a fraction of the price? do i mean knock-off? not entirerly. ..but i know some outlets in downtown LA but..where in downtown la?

i already bought a prom dress, but it only comes in size 3/4 as the smallest. so i bought it and plan on getting it altered to fit me. the problem is, how much do you think it would cost? i bought my dress from macys and the cashier person said that to get it altered, its going to cost a lot. so i'm not suree. i know for last year when i went to prom with my date, i bought my dress from my date's auntie it was a size 5. she helped me altered it to a fit me [i'm around size 1-2] but that dress was a simple knee high tube dress. so it was easy to alter. but for this prom dress, its a halter that crosses at the back. the chest part is a bit big for me and its long too. i'm just not sure if i should go alter it at my friend's auntie's place or go to actual tailor shop to alter it. so the question is, will it be expensive? have any of you altered your dress at a professional tailor shops? how much did it cost you and what kind of prom dress was it?

I got my prom dress...but I'm not sure if I want to wear it.

I'm 5'4" ~ 5'5" and I got a short dress, it hits right above my knee. I'm afraid I might be too tall for it, and I'm considering of getting a longer dress. =/

fu yeun, where did you get your dress? i like it. its simple.

Thanks!
I'm pretty sure you can get this dress at Macy's, but I didn't get it there. I got mine at this event/program that gave out free prom dresses for girls around the area. ^^U
But I went to Macy's later on, and I saw my dress there, but in a diff color. It's also on the Macy website.

i usually get my dresses at windsor. its cheap & pretty!

-----------------------------

i want to wear one of those hanbok fusion dresses... SO GORGEOUS.

I like purple!

Such a pretty color!

I like the 2nd dress =]
I tried on a dress like that before, as long as ur skinny and tall, u dont really need mad big boobs to pull it off =]

The dress will make ur body tone, slim, and long =D

fu yuen
I dont think that dress really compliment ur curves =(
May be a long dress to elongate ur height and ur body? =]

My dress came in the mail today! It's from Jovani but it's been made to custom fit someone 5"4 (Purchased through a seller~ <3)



I'm going to go to 2 proms this year, so I don't know what dress to wear to the other. Any help?

tofuu
