Prom Dress
Someone asked to see my Cinderella prom dress... Sorry, I don't own a scanner, so these are pictures of pictures out of my high school scrapbook. Don't mind the captions 
BTW... I want to see everyone else in their prom attire!
Can't be Cinderella without the glass slippers!
Yeah, That is my corsage that took up my entire lower arm.

Re: Prom Dress
I made this dress for my senior prom. It was a lot of fun to make it! I thought it would be awesome to wear fuschia shoes with this color of blue! All my nerd friends didn't believe that the material was Acetate! I have no good pic of the dress, but it has a sweeheart neckline and ruched all the way. I also wore my grandma's fur shawl thing for the pictures.
Seriously, I LOVE it. It really DOES look like Cinderella. Wow.
Okay, I'm gonna try to post my prom pic up. I've never posted a pic here so bear with me...
When I went to get my prom dress and I wanted a ball gown, the workers actually told me that I shouldn't get one. I'm 5'1" and they said that if a short person buys a ball gown it will make her look shorter and, well, larger. Pfft, I loved my dress anyway. =p
Sparkles, I have ALWAYS wanted to make a victorian bustle dress!!!! *High five* to you for wanting to make a historic gown as well!!! And kudos on making your prom dress!
[QUOTE]Sparkles... My dress had 27 layers in the bottom, plus a huge slip<strong>. I'll see if I have pictures of us trying to fit the dang thing in the car.</strong> Trust me, it was NO fun to dance in! It was too heavy! LOL!

Haha, I'm sorry, but that's hilarious. Must've been a pretty big dress!
I don't have any pics of me trying to fit in the car, but I DO have a pic somewhere of my parents trying to help me into my dress. It had a corset in the back and there's an awesome pic of my dad tying it up while I held my boobs up. XD
Have you guys seen prom dresses lately though? Or rather, any high school formal. It's depressing.
Yes. That is me and the BF. For our senior prom.
This is the junior prom. Before I was dating the BF
It had a really pretty neckline sadly not shown here.
I love everyone elses dresses

[QUOTE]It's pretty scary how today's look. If I had tried to leave the house in one of those "backless, strapless, sideless, stomachless, shorter than my booty shorts" things, my father would have killed me.

When I was in college I bought one of those types of dresses for a fraternity formal... My mom knew about it, but she told me if I showed pictures to my dad she'd deny that she bought me the dress. My FI begs me to wear it everytime we go someplace formal. I keep trying to explain it is too trashy for a 30 year old to wear it now... 21 year old = fun. 30 year old = trying too hard to look 21.

</div><div>College girls wearing those dresses = fine. You're old enough to make your own decisions as to how you want to look. BF keeps trying to get me to buy one for random stuff. High school girls wearing those dresses = someone might have too much money, or daddy really isn't paying attention.</div>
IDK why I'm holding my arms awkwardly in this picture but its the only picture I have of the whole dress.
[QUOTE]Beth... That is a gorgeous color on you! I love the dress!

Paige... Your picture made me laugh, with you leaning away from the guy. But I love the red dress!
Beth, I always dreamed about having a prom dress like yours. My family never had the money to buy such a nice dress, so I made mine.

I was shocked my parents paid for it, my mom is the one who picked it out actually. Its so funny she has great taste when she is picking out things for me but when she picks things out for herself its a disaster!

Like I said, mine was in 2000. Kind of hard to believe that it was 11 years ago. Do you still have the Cinderella dress?
