Is this suitable for the formal? For year 10, most turned up in this sort of stuffhttp://www.therosedress.com/dresses/cd/cd-dresses-gowns.jpg and I personally hate it, but there's still a dress code, also the one of the vineyards so opinions?

Holy shit yes wear it.

I'm 99.9% sure that you'll be allowed and the only reason I have that 0.1% is to save my ass in the event of a huuuge fuck up.

How much is it?

$180 plus shipping. No, I'm not fat. Would get a US 6 but it doesn't let you have boobs/breath.

Looks kinda ugly IMO but it's not jeans and a t-shirt so it'll fly.

Yes, and they'd go nicely with a pair of clear heels. I have pix in mind.

Girls in tight dresses don't need to breathe. They have gills or something.

Well you could wear black ones with crosses on them to match the dress, but if I was wearing that then I'd go all black.

Clear heels = Stripper shoe.

Chris Rock is right, avoid clear heels like the plague.

any kind of black opaque heeled shoes/ boots would go well though.

That's nice, lets just hope you look good in it, misses. We expect pics.

Clear heels are'nt that bad, as long as it's not 6 inch heels :p

I'm guessing everyone here is male. Heals are painful and should not be worn.

The nick name is old. look at my reg date.

I'm male and have walked in heels enough to know that the pain is worth it.

And Rabb, 8 hours in heals while intoxicated, I can barely stay upright sober in flats.

Get a nice pair of lacy tights. They might cost you some serious cash but they'll be worth it.

And only $160? Odds are the dress will be of really shitty quality. I'm willing to bet it'll be mostly spandex.

If you are going to go in that direction do it right. Don't get it off the internet, get it from somewhere you can try it on and feel it before buying it.

I am going to the shop to buy it. They just post after they do alterations. Also, already got lace tights for school occasionally. Surprisingly cheap.

Sexy, i say go for it.

Every year people push the limits with shit and it usually ends with you getting let in. its you last year of school and nobody really wants to ruin one of the few good social things about it.

It looks perfectly fine.

For the 1860s.

Dresses are one place where looking like everyone else is good. All the girls wear pretty things, why would you wear something that odd just to stick out?

I'm sure you can pull of a sexy dress and just be remembered as the hottest girl there, rather than the one who came to prom dressed in that and combat boots?

I went to the junior formal in combat boots and everyone seemed to think it was a good idea. I was the only one wearing shoes by the end of the night. Also, I'm not doing long sleeves as it's ridiculously hot here and I set them alight last time and floor length skirts are just messy. Add in I'm a ginger and black seems to be the best bet which leads to goth.

There is no way you can pull off that dress without heels. There isn't a single pair of flats that goes with a dress like that and it would just look stupid as hell.

this.

that dress looks really poxy and the real thing will probably be worse.
and with the amount of plastic that thing looks like it has in it, you will be sweating like a pedophile in a preschool.

I had mine a few weeks ago, some girl wore the same kinda thing. It didn't look too bad, if you like it, wear it. Doesn't matter what other people think imo.

I'm pretty sure you'll be ALLOWED, and probably only a handful of girls will dress in that style (or at least thats how it was in my last high school formal.

I wholly support you wanting to go for something different at your formal, but maybe you could translate to the "different" into something a little more classy/flattering?

Who cares. The really important thing is how quickly she can get it off.
