Prom Help!
Permalink Closed

Ok girls, I decided to go to prom since I did not go last year...but I REALLY need your girls' help with finding a dress. These are my guidlines/restrictions

1) Very unique, CANNOT be from a typical prom dress place, I want it to be the only one

2) I'd like to keep around 200$ or lower

3) I'd like a short baby doll dress but mainly I want it simple

4) My favorite colors to wear are Magenta, dark blue, yellow (something fun, and a trendy color)

5) I am very petite and skinny, I am only about 5'4" and I don't have a lot of junk in the front seat if you know what I mean : )

Sorry so much! But anything you see let me know TIA!!!

47b7dd09b3127cce82c801379e2d00000016109ActmbJi0cOLove this dress! I have seen copies of it, I just would like to pay a bit less than the one from edressme.com

47b7dd09b3127cce82c801499e5300000015109ActmbJi0cOLove this one too!

I love the whole look of Reese in the yellow dress! I've just started looking, but I really like this Nordstrom BP dress:
Velvet Torch Shantung Tube Dress And it's only $62 so you could have extra $ to get fantastic shoes and jewelry.

I found this dress on Bluefly. Its not yellow, but its the same style that you like.

Jessica McClintock has a lot of pretty simple dresses (though their models aren't the best...)
I used to work at a store that carried them, and my prom dress (2 years ago) was by that brand.

Comes in yellow too, and while I'm undecided about pockets on formal-ish dresses, I do really like the crinkle taffeta

I think the embroidery looks cool, at least in this picture

Sorry, I just realized that Jessica McClintock might be considered "typical prom dress place" for you; where I live it's not that common, and my high school was super small so there wasn't much worry about that. Good luck though; if you can find a dress similar to the Givenchy one, I think that would be my personal top pick:)
