Potential prom dress

So, ultimately i decieded I wasn't going to prom due to all the unnecessary hassel. I started contemplating whether i should and all my friends were going so i decided i might as well.
I've looked online and i don't rlly want to spend loads of money on something im going to wear once. Im about 5ft 6 so im unsure whether a long dress is better than a mid length for me.
While searching on asos i found this navy blue and i just wanted your opinions as im really unsure. Thanks 😊

I'm personally not a fan, but if you like it then that's all that matters!

Honestly don't spend a lot because you'll probably never wear it again - thrift if you can!

People ik spent £200+ on their dresses and now they're just collecting dust.

I went desi to my yr 11 prom, my outfit was just under 100, which is more expensive than necessary yes, but I can rewear it to any desi event now. So for me it was worth the money.

My yr 13 prom dress was 35 quid off of Oxfam and honestly such a good find!

i’m in the same position as you i didn’t think i’d go to prom but here i am, ordered a dress online a couple days ago literally searched up “last minute prom dresses” to find it😭 i think the length of the blue dress is nice it’s just the top half n print aren’t really my style but if it’s something you like then go for it!! and don’t stress over the dress too much, it’s just one night you’ll have fun either way <3
