trackback
Well there isn’t all that long until I have to work out what dress I am wearing to my graduate ball come this summer. Sugarbabes are playing, along with pendulum (very exciting) and *ahem* The Vengaboys. Who aren’t quite so good – though they are a very nostalgic 90’s throwback. A blast from the past, if you will. The problem is, however, that it’s a formal prom with dancing, jazz bands and lots of excited nearly graduated students. It is also a formal prom with a fairground – so all those posh floor length frocks you think about first off are out of the window – it has to be something formal yet fun, practical yet fancy. I sense a problem. This problem is money – I can’t afford to buy a new dress, oops. I have plenty of dresses (see photographs), but have absolutely no idea what to wear on the day! Ah, the issues we face at university!
Anyone got any favorites for a summer ball? Or, alternatively, think none are appropriate?
This one is shapely and pretty.
Gorgeous clingy dress this one – but is it too cocktail-y?
A beautiful summery dress in satin
Short/clingy blue velvet dress
The wildcard – long (black than it looks) calf length dress, tight around the bodice. Can be “dressed up”.
Any ideas?
the first dress – i really love it but the gingham / spots doesn’t make it look very formal?
the second dress – love it too, it does seem a bit semi-formal-ish, but if you’ve got confidence i’m sure you can pull it off.
third dress – can’t really tell how it’ll look like, but it looks pretty good if you’ve got the legs to carry if off.
fourth dress – pretty nice
fifth dress – rather plain, but with the right accessories can look quite good
just my two cents.
I LOVE the top one, and I like the satiny one a lot too, though I think you’d look stunning in the red! You know, not to be too wishy washy about actually making a decision…
Personally (if I were you) I’d go for either red or dotty!
Oh, and dotty could be EXTRA fun if you dressed it up with bright accessories – your pink shoes for example!

OK, I’m thinking along the red or dotty lines too now – I’m liking the suggestion about colourful accessories, I hadn’t thought of that. I think I’ll try the red on all dressed up, an then the dotty – contrast and compare!
Thanks for all the advice you’ve definitely narrowed it don! I soo can’t make decisions!
