Formal/Prom

Subject: Formal/Prom Tue May 22, 2007 10:33 am

My friend jess has been asked to her boyfriends year 12 Formal (at a different school)
And he's not the most popular of boys there, so she wants to look totally and completely perfect and outdo all the other girls there, for her boy.

She has her heart set on this dress but doesn't know how much it costs and can't get it because its overseas. We're in australia. If you guys could help i'd love you forever. even though i already do.

The website is based in Florida...so that dress is $300 US which at the current exchange rate is about $365.50 aussie dollars. And then you have shipping. Hmm...thats only slightly more expensive than I paid for my prom dress.

And this shouldn't be in glam, should be in fashion me thinks...

you need to find somewhere based in aus then...obviously.

you will know aussie based websites...or ebay. and everywhere has bridal shops with dresses or places with formal dresses.
or even not...some shops have pretty summar dresses that could look good for prom.

or she could find a dress that looks stunning, but would be worth shipping over because she'd wear it again or be able to wear it out for less formal occasions.

something like a rockabilly style dress would be worth it as she could look stunning and still wear it afterwards.

mine is the 15th of june..we like to have ours once all the exams are out the way so's we don't feel as guilty getting so pished..

lol..most girls over here spend about £100 on their prom outfit i think..my corset was £130 but i'd been wanting that for ages, the material for my skirt cost £8 and ive not bought shoes and accessories yet..

but we only get one..i mean, do you not get a few? we have school dances and everything but we only have one actual prom so its a big deal..apart from grad ball if you go to uni..
