That is an awesome dress. The skirt reminds me of Grace Kelly's outfit in "Rear Window". I like the shoes too.

$1000 is a lot though, I agree.

I'd probably get my dress from eBay, op shops or vintage stores in Newtown. I seem to like old style dresses... ^^

Thanks for the site...found my DREAM dress on there! HAHA, but too bad I don't know how it'll look on me But it is t3h absolute s3kS!! Now I have very high expectations to find something half as decent as that!


DREAM DRESS:





STYLE: Classical, stylish

DRESS: purple, dark blue, grey or gold with the bottom hem like the above (uneven). Wouldn't like a revealing bustline. (Mental note to self: must lose weight -_-")

SHOES: I'm not a real shoes person so any pair that matches the colour of the dress is fine by me...keeping the shoe budget low

ACCESORIES: Just a plain pretty silver/gold necklace and perhaps some bangles or a bracelet. not sure yet. Bag should be big enough to fit my essentials: wallet, mobile, camera, makeup bits and pieces, mints.

HAIR: Curls Maybe a tiara, but I'm having second thoughts....does it look too tacky or too stuck-up?

MAKE UP: Planning to get it done at MAC, but would have to see if my budget permits. More $$ on dress + after party = less chance of getting make up done Btw, I heard Inglot is really shit, so don't bother going there unless you want to look like a drag queen on your formal night.


Edit: mle43: hahah!! I didn't see that post when I started replying so I guess we have the same taste It's totally gorgeous...I think alot of girls would like it too . Now...where to find one similar in AUS?

yeah i agree with pretty much everything you said

also, the bustline, yeah i was just thinking i might get a dress that doesnt have clevage, just because everyone else will. something classic, maybe like this:




love that colour.

thats nice

Oooh wow that is a really nice dress!! I agree with the revealing bust thing, with the dress I like the part I don't like about it the bust area lol.

[gloworm14]

this one looks alright... the plum colour makes it look classy.

For the formal i reckon it'd be more convinient to wear dresses above the knee; cos it not only feel akward but also LOOKS awkward to dance in a floor length dress.


However you're gonna style ur hair it should be volumised ! Flat hair is so yuck and not hot !

I'm inspired by Rachael Bilson's make-up at the moment. So i'd go for soft matte skin with the slightest hint of rosey cheeks. For my lips i would just use someting like vaseline to bring out my natural lip colour. I'd use a black eyeliner around my eyes and use heaps on the corners of my eyes and HEAPS of mascara so it'd give the "pop out" effect.

I remember seeing this dress from the recent Harts catalogue. Not sure if they have a website and/or if you're able to purchase it online though.

My school is selling chocolates, we each get $13 off the ticket price once they're all sold.

That is a nice dress, but I get the feeling it'd be too casual for a formal, and that one wouldn't be able to pull it off unless they looked like an Olsen twin. Hahah. Maybe it'd be suitable for a formal with a cocktail dress code.
