does anyone ever wear sleeved-prom dresses? practically all the ones i see are halters/sleeveless. sorta curious to see any long-sleeved prom dresses? anyone have any pictures?

asianbebe omg that dress is so stunning. I agree it kinda reminds me of belle. but I LOVE that dress!

i have a whole collection of prom dresses in my photobucket hahha









some of my faves =]

Thanks for trying to help, but I live in CA, and they don't have a Mestads here in Cali =T
And, I didn't see any link for online ordering...and I don't really want to just b/c I'd think it best to try it on beforehand.

oh crap! i'm poor~ and darm prom is coming up!
shoot~ i need to save up for a dress, but then i was like it should be opposite gender day, so guys will choose the dresses and wear that and girls will choose tuxes and wear that.. man, by doing it that way, my prom would be a prom to remember! lol..

but being serious, i need a dress too!

im broke... not sure if going to junior prom this year... SHIRLEY ARE WE GOING??? haha i like some of the dresses you got

The dresses on the site are the same dresses in the magazine sent to me. However, the magazine is from the store Trudy's in San Jose. No Mestads, but there sure is a Trudy's. =D If I wasn't getting my dress made, I would have gone to that store to check it out.

it would probably cost a lot to have it made. the straps are covered in diamonds.

the dress is stretchy. it isn't made out of thin cheap material. you don't need to wear a bra underneath.

i have this dress if any of you are interested in buying it. the brand is jovani and it cost around 500 dollars if i remember correctly. i wore it for a couple hours at prom last year. it's just been sitting in my closet. it's a size 2 but i spent about 100 dollars getting it altered because it was too big. anyways, if u buy this dress it's a guarantee you will spend more money to get it altered. i would have had to been about 6 feet tall to wear this dress. if any of you are interested in buying it from me at a discounted price or just have questions about the sizing don't hesitate to ask.

a lot of you seem to be getting dresses made
where do you go to get them made? do you just like.. look for "dressmaker" or "seamstress" in the ..phone book.. or.. what? HAHA
i know this may sound like a dumb question but its just rfeally hard to find things that fit me etc.etc. so im trying to see if getting it made is a good alternative

thanks in advance,
dohee

^I'm in a dance group and my choreographer/leader knows a lady who makes clothing and whatnots. She and another member of our group got their prom dresses made by her. We got our performance outfit made by her and last year I got my prom dress altered by her. So basically, she's someone I know and someone I'm familiar with in terms of quality and price. She's the person I'm getting my dress made from.

But, if you look up local places in your area, you can compare prices and whatnot. If anything, ask your friends/family if they know anyone that would be able to make dresses for you. You just have to really look around.

i dont have prom this year (was last year ) but i have a semi formal coming up.



is it suitable? and what kind of accessories could i use to make it less boring? maybe some silver necklace?

we will be required to make masks as well ...because of the theme

^I can't really tell what your dress looks like. Maybe post a body shot instead? Or at least of the dress alone.

whoever put that mestad's link up, thank you! i saw this:


and fell in love with it. don't know the pricing though. anyone help me out here?

aw man u guys are lucky...i miss my prom :[...wish i was in highschool again!

serendipityxt, unless your chest as big if not bigger than hurts it doesn't look right. i got that dress and well, i'm just an A and well, it didnt look alright There's another photo of that dress on another model and it doesnt look as nice. I, too, was in love with that dress last year for prom (:


i like the top of this one....


and the bottom slit of this one!

Orange, of course (:

This website has a lot of gorgeous dresses:

SWEET! Thanks fo much for helping me out!
I was planning on going to Trudys! but...oh man, I'm just thinking of the cost now xDD

edit: I also found this baby online, and fell in love...again

If you live in San Diego you can go to San Ysidro outlet there is a store tha has these kinds of dresses.. they rage from 400-500 bucks a dress..

Do you have a picture of you wearing it? lol. Even if my chest is as big .. I probably wouldn't end up buying it. I can't imagine spending more than like .. $100 for a prom dress haha. my mom wouldn't let me..



I agree

i would like to see some more short prom dresses has anyone seen some good short prom dresses?

Anyone know where to find something like that?

one of my friends wore that very dress(or at least really similar to it) for an event? (the white one).. but I don't know where she got it from D:
if you're looking for strapless bubble dresses, I saw some at windsors, bcbg, etc.. actually there are a lot of places w/ those dresses, but you just have to look for them

I am SO glad that my mom's a seamstress. She'll be making my prom dress.
I get to do the designing so I will have my dream dress for sure! I'll be sure to post pics of it when it's prom time.

you can find a dress similar to that at davidbridal.com
lol its my dream prom dress but i'm pretty broke this year..
and its only my junior year

mall of america (in minnesota) has a small shop of prom/evening dresses. it's like jammed packed with dresses and some are really really cute. the price is deadly tho. it's by bloomingdales or nordstrom...one of those two stores. some of the dresses are kind of beauty pageant style too.

They sell dresses like that at a mall i work in. My friend wore the silver one for grad pics =]

you can find the dress in style.com..

is it true you get kicked out if you wear short dresses to prom ?

umm.. im pretty sure thats a no....
i wore a short dress to prom last year.. so did a lot of girls.. and... there was nthing of that nature..

^ it depends on your school, of course... rules are different everywhere.

gojane.com
HAS TONS OF PROM DRESSESS. WHEHEHE.

It really depends on what your school's dress code it. But normally, you shouldn't be kicked out because of that. Girls wear long dresses because that's the traditional look for prom, but short dresses are fine as well.

haha i wore that to prom sophmore year. i loved that dress ^-^

i am deciding to go to my junior prom this year
and thats the only one i am going to because
the age limit...and i want my boyfriend to be
at my prom soo..yeah

I want a white dress or something no one has,
probably i'll end up ordering from asian sites.

The shade of the red is a bit different though.

Has anyone noticed how BEAUTIFUL the dress that Keira Knightley wore in Atonement was?






I found it at mestads.com in Faviana...
Wonder what the price is?

and



i loved my first dress, and a lot of other peopel did too.
Even though it's so pretty, i need to get rid of it (and the blue one) cuz their just sitting in my closet : (

the first dress is from jessica mcclintock, over $300 i think, and the second dress is from cache and i think i got it for over $200, but not too sure.

hehe this was my prom dress back in '03
only got to wear it once
lol i bought it from windsor for 159+tax...

hehe ill post my actual prom pics when i get back home
it has a corset type of back.. man i loved this dress! i went to 4 different windsors before i found it in my size!



anyone wanna take it off my hands? XD im willing to negociate if its reasonable

-----------
i found one of my prom pictures.. dont mind the face XD...
also please note that i was fatter in high school
ill put up more later...



i know the color looks not accurate in the pics... its supposed to be a crimson red...

^ that was my sisters senior ball dress! Except hers was baby blue!

Not my prom dress (wore it to winter formal in 2006) but it might as well have been...

I wanted a Greek inspired dress and it looks a little like a toga haha ;P

Here's a close-up of the detailing; I liked the beadwork.

^ Pretty dress. You look good in it! : )

I love this thread.

Anyways, I'm probably going to go with a short dress this year, but I'm having a hard time picking one.
But I'm really excited cus I'm going to have my dress made instead of buying one (cus I don't want the same dress as someone else. It's kinda ehhh when that happens).







All of them have similar styles..

I really like this dress, but I'm not sure if it's formal enough for grad =/

^ i bought that dress from one of those asian fashion sites hoping that i could wear it to prom but the quality wasn't too good at all.
the material wasn't high quality.. when mine came, it definitely didn't look formal enough for prom.
it was more like a summer dress as the white color made it really see through =X

i am actually getting that for my prom?
hmm see through? cant i just wear something under it?
its junior prom i dont need to waste tons of money on a dress
plus i like that style

but now i am might go in this dress ; the purple one. Kim Ah Joong is wearing :]

i loveee this dress too, it's absolutely gorgeous, i'm trying to decide whether i should get that one, or the white one i had spoken about earlier

these dresses are so beautiful! I wish my parents would allow me to go to the winter formal so I can go dress shopping xD Good luck to find the perfect dress you guys!

how much do you guys plan on spending on your prom dresses? How much is too much for a dress. The dress that I want is $170, not including alterations, which will probably cost a bundle too. =/

^ I personally don't want to spend more than $200 but I know people who have spent up to $400 for a custom made dress, yikes. Our prom tickets are going to be around $85 so I should start saving up now ^

This thread is beautiful considering all these fabulous dresses XD
But do you know what will make it even more beautiful?
If people stopped quoting images......
It's simple - just take off the tags and leave it as links.
Pretty please? T_T
It's quite a drag to see the same images over and over again...especially if it's all on the same page =_=

Anyways,
I can't wait for my prom =D
These dresses are making me excited haha.
