    Ive already got this for my next prom because I fell in love with it and it was on Sale for £40!!



    And these, they were also on sale for £60 which is still really expensive for me, but they were £120 before. Love love them:


    I hope to be adding a ring and possibly a bracelet, but not so sure because my entire budget was £100. May beg a few extra quid from my parents though

    I'm old and it has been over 4 years since my last prom.

    On a similar note though, I see people have been showing forever unique dresses. I love forever unique. This is the dress I wore one week ago for my uni Sports Ball (a formal ball with a sit down dinner and a dance, and prize giving for sports teams and sports players etc... so like a less tiara filled prom with a LOT more wine... so hungover the next day).

    http://www.polyvore.com/forever_uniq...ng?id=25187922

    As for the story behind it, I saw it on ASOS in December, didn't have any reason to buy it and wasn't sure it'd suit me, that and it was bloody expensive. Then a couple of months ago I saw it on ASOS again and started considering it, as it had been discounted. I dreamt about it (I do this sometimes, always helps with decisions :p: ) and I decided to buy it but it had sold out in size 6. It kept going on and off asos in my size and I kept deciding and undeciding on it. Eventually I decided on it but it had sold out completely except for in white with red jewels and I wasn't as keen on it in that colour. So I began a search for it. I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet and it wasn't on the actual forever unique online shop. Eventually I turned to ebay to look for other forever unique dresses and on like the 9th page I searched through it was there, in a size 6, and £70. I showed it my mum for confirmation that it was nice and she said she liked it so much she'd buy it for me (win). Luckily, nobody else bid on it :p: So yes people, ebay is the way forward.

    Not sure what shoes to wear with it though..
    WOW! Absolutely gorgeous!
    I think something like deep red would look best for this dress. Possibly black if you're not willing to take the risk. But I could definitely see it with red heels. Im sure you'll look amazing in it whichever you choose

    Love prom/debs dresses. Seems to be slightly more casual in the UK- the average debs dress here costs €400, not even joking. They are usually slinky backless ones with diamante straps. Nice, but boring after a while. I went to 2 debs, the first dress cost about £25 online, the second cost about £130 converted and received endless compliments. Short dresses are not common at all, you'd struggle to find more than 5 at one.
