    Can anyone suggest a prom/leavers dress for me?
    Okay, so my Yr 13 prom is in a couple of weeks and I haven't got a dress yet. D:
    Due to the rather sparse-of-shops town where I live, I'll probably have to buy it on the internet.

    The main problem is that I'm at most only 5 ft 3 so loads of dresses end up looking weird cos they're too long.

    Prom isn't taken too seriously at my school so it doesn't need to be a massive Big Fat Gypsy Weddings-esque gown. Similarly, I don't want to spend too much on it. Not more than £100 and ideally around half that. I have brown hair and blue eyes, and preferable want a short dress because I reckon I'd look a bit swamped in a long one.

    Soo...does anyone have suggestions? I really want to sort this out and just have a generic, nice dress within two weeks.

    ASOS have loads of gorgeous dresses at decent prices, plus they have a petite range which is specifically for people 5 foot 3 and under plus you get free delivery!

    lipsy? My friend wore a lipsy dress to prom and she looked well good! She had that casual but stunning thing going on!!! It was really good!
    They're fairly cheap, not try-hard, they're suitable for lots of occasions and most girls look really good in them
