I wish I could give you a hug right now :frown:
What I think you need to do is choose a dress that you really love the look of, regardless of how you think it looks on you (unless it doesn't fit), as this sounds like your inner critic tearing you down and saying you'll look terrible rather than the beautiful person in a beautiful dress that the rest of the world will see. If you pick a dress that you think looks really beautiful instead of focusing on the negatives that you may see when it's on you it'll mean that you'll look amazing to prom to everyone else because I'm sure you've got amazing taste. Also, taking someone with you when shopping could help massively as they could encourage you to try something you're not so sure on and raise your self esteem in general :smile:
Hope this helps (and made sense), sending lots of virtual love xx

Thank you!! It helped loads. I guess we will have to wait and see- I'm going shopping tomorrow. I've texted my friends but they are doing NCS so they can't help atm.
Virtual love x2

Glad to help :smile:
I getcha with the low esteem, there's so much about myself that I would change if I could, but I suppose we're lumped with our lot and have to suck it :biggrin:. I'm sure you're much prettier than you believe (to use the cliche: you're your own worst critic), and you seem like a lovely person regardless :kiss:
How did your prom go (I assume it was last night)? Did you manage to find a dress?

It was pink- and no one can go wrong wearing pink :tongue:
It was long at the back and short at the front.
What about yours?

Oooh that sounds pretty :love:

Mine was long and navy blue, with lace over the top part and lacy three quarter length sleeves (because everyone loves lace :biggrin:)

Ooooh that's sounds amazing!!! I bet you looked absolutely beautiful!
Everyone said that I looked really different- because I don't usually have my hair out and it was a really nice, fun time with all my friends.
Now we've got the rest of the summer to do whatever we want!!! :ahee:
