The dress was retailed for $168. Discounted to $60 and then I got an additional 50% off. In the end with tax and everything it was only $32 AND it's Jessica McClintock

It's supposed to be rhinestones and jewels in the front. But when I resized the photo I lost the HQ of it from my camera. Also to begin with, my photos were kind of blurry. Too lazy to retake them. -.-"

Should I get a slit cut in the front? Like I always imagined my prefect prom dress as "orange, halter and slit". Would it ruin the front now?

^holy! that was an amazing buy!
i think it would look better without the slit tho!

btw its a beautiful dress!!
blush
x3mango: NIICE dress. i agree, great deal. dang! i'm jealous rofl. that is a mega great deal.
i'm not sure about the slit though because honestly, i think it looks really pretty now!

ahaha, jw, but do you guys ever shop with your date for the dresses? since it's my first prom, and his second, i was wondering if i should drag him along xD lmao.
inamorata.<3
^You don't have to. It isn't much of a difference anyway because all they'll ever say is, "I don't care. If you like it then it's fine with me." lol .. The only reason you would probably want to drag your date along is to pick out a color, otherwise, if you want an opinion on a dress, it'd be better to go with your friends.

Prom's in two weeks for me .
I can't really find anything
but here's two dresses that I thought looked nice sweatingbullets.gif .
Blue or red?



Sorry for the crappy quality.

^ red :3

I bought this dress today for $50 o_o. The quality is alright and it looks prettier in person ;3. I'm not sure if I should keep it. like i plan on going to a separate mall tomorrow to see if i see anything better. and then ill see which one i like and return the rest ;3. the thing is the strap is kinda big so the boob part is kinda low lol... that or i have no boobs. sleep.gif

keep/no keep?



the back is just the strap and nothing else o.o it's kinda plain =X

o really
how much will it be? and how long will it take?
lol
u are so lucky =/ i have too luck at all finding anything smilar ;[



i love the drama but anyways..
its going to cost around $200 because my mom wanted to have more material with it like chiffon and also with satin (which is expensive, well thats what she said) and she wanted it to be bulky because im really small. the seamstress said it will take 2 weeks.
i KITTY x3 =)*

This is what I have for my senior prom. I'll admit it was pricy, but my parents were fine with it. biggrin.gif
The only problem I have now is finding a date and figuring out what to do with my hair.
I want extensions, but I dont think I will look good with extremely long hair because im short and fat. -.-::

That dress is simply gorgeous.I love the dress' color in the third picture. <3 Get a push-up strapless bra or get the strap tailored to fit you better.

This is for a friend, if you guys could help, that'd be great: she picked a dress and bought green but she doesn't know what color (green, blue, or red) would be best

opinions? =) I like blue, personally.

Blue looks alive and refreshing. Red looks sexy and alluring. It's hard to choose between the two. That dress looks like something you might get from Caché. I usually buy most of my evening and cocktail dresses there.

Wow, I love the dress. And you have quite the figure! Where is it from if you don't mind revealing? If possible, I would alter the strap to raise the chest area. It seems too low, as you pointed out. Perfect for prom, imo smile.gif
serendipityxt
^ thanks smile.gif it's from daffy's. they dont have a lot of choices actually =X and this was the only one that looked kinda pretty ;3. i think my mom is going to alter it. but the thing is theres a trail at the end. so its not ideal for prom =X i think im gunna find another one and return this. x-x i cant imagine people stepping on my dress ALL NIGHT LONG T_T
ANGEL_WiTH_H0RNS
WOW. Everyone`s dresses are GORGEEEOUSSS<3.

x3mango: Your dress is HEELLAA nice. I always wanted an orange dress, because it`s my favorite color, but I can`t imagine an orange dress on me XD.

This is my dress :]
http://www.jessicamcclintock.com/webapp/wc...d=-1&sz=ONE except not in this color, and with a line of rhinestones under the boobage somewhere. XD. I have the shawl too :]
My dress is in this color -> http://www.jessicamcclintock.com/webapp/wc...tegory_rn=10320

Okay so i reallly just fell in love with this dress, and I think i might get it..



but the thing is is that i'm a 34c/d
and I dont know how i would support my boobs in this dress O_O
What kind of bra would I wear? and if I can't wear a bra... should I just sew in some cups in the dress?
anddddddddd my date is the same height as me.. maybe a little taller. sleep.gif+
should i wear heels or stick to.. some flats.
auroralbutterfly
I'm planning to have my prom dress custom made. I went to a dressmaker today to discuss the price and it was a lot more expensive than I thought T___T My dress will cost a little below $400 total (the labor+fabric) because of how complicated it is and how hard it is to make D:! I really like the style and my imagination for my perfect prom dress so I am kind of determined to get it custom made .____."
I will definitely post up pictures when it's done!! Hope it all goes well~
serendipityxt
ok so i went to another mall to see if there are any better dresses and here are the ones that are good smile.gif

from lord & taylor

so pretty ;3 and feels so good. except it makes me look fat & pregnant T_T


lol im definitely not getting this one =X i love the green with envy color though ;3

from cache (the lighting SUCKED for taking pictures lol. so i had to photoshop some in order to get the correct color x-x)

ok these pictures do the dress no justice t-t. the color is all wrong and yeah. $180ish


this also looks so much better in person x-x. my body looks awkward in this o.o but yeah.


omg i love this one. soo gorgeous ;3.

from the pictures the last one (pink) seems the best, but irl it was like a X_X decision. im going back tonight to pick one w/ my mom. suggestions?

Has anyone ever ordered from therosedress.com or tiza.com? Are they legit? The prom dress I want is on either of the two sites, but they both look sketchy :[....

Someone please tell me they're okay!!

oh wow! x3mango, you got a good deal!

i sort of got a good deal too but not as good as yours. haha.




if anyone wants to read my story, here it goes! lol

a few months ago i went to san francisco & visited the macy's there. it was hella early prom shopping but yeah w/e. it was just for fun (: [oh btw, my mom gave me a $50 limit to buy a prom dress.. -__-) mmk, so I saw this nice purpley dress in the back priced at $170 sure, i knew i wouldn't be able to get it, but hey; that doesn't mean i can't try it on right? (;
so i try it on.. and love it.

but yeah. $50 mom? haha funny. -__-

so between w/e month that was & now, i went to a bunch of other places to go prom shopping & found nothing D: when prom gets closer and closer, going prom dress shopping loses its fun-ness :/ anyway, last saturday, my friend invited me to san fran and i thought to myself THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE [f0reveralways]!!! asjdfklas. yeah.

okay lalala i want to Macy's and found ONE of that purpley dress left and it just HAPPENED to be in my size but oh no. no price tag :/ so i ask the cashier lady to do a price check & it's only $60! yay. haha. but then *dun dun dun* tragedy strikes. there's a hole in the dress ohmy.gif

but eh. it's on the side. i figured i could get my mom to sew it up. so i get discounted 15% for the rip & then my friend had some 20% off Macy's thing and i ended up paying only $44 (with tax) on the once $170 purpley dress. yay. happy ending. haha. i even managed to fit it under $50 like my mom asked! i've never been more proud. lol






PS: i'm thinking about asking my mom to turn it into a halter or connecting the two upper parts of the X on the back into one line so it becomes a 3-way thing from the center instead of a 4-way thing. err yeah. sorry i suck at describing stuff sweatingbullets.gif i plan on keeping my hair down for prom though.. so would it be unnecessary? :/
blackcoffee.
^Wow congrats! I love that shade of purple. I think you should just leave it as a 4 way though...looks fine the way it is. 44$ is an amazing price...looove Macys!! They always have such great deals if you look hard enough.
sandrawr
omg that purple dress is beautiful and such a good price! i need to find one like that haha

This is my dress:


I have absolutely NO idea how I'm going to do my hair or MAKE-UP (especially need help with this one).

Any ideas to go with this dress?

Hmmm... since the dress itself is short and cute, I think that you should maybe do an updo or something that shows off your neck. As for your makeup, you could have something that is sort of golden (or brownish) and smokey (since black fits with any other colors).

a bit like this:


btw, where did u get ur dress? its so cute ^^!!

is this.. a yes or no


i was really trying not to go for black but errrr

a student made that just for the model and the theme.

I wore this dress to my Country Club party when I turned 17;


and this dress to Jr. Prom;


it's by ABS Shuartz and I didn't have anyone who had the same style or color as me.

I'm wondering would it be wrong to get another beige dress for Senior Prom?

P.S. The two dresses above are for sale, teehee. Click the sig. sweatingbullets.gif

Do you guys think this dress is formal enough for grad? I've looked soooo long for a dress and I think i'm just going to settle for this one. Also, is the color okay for my skin tone?
